The College Dropout

Is he a better defender? Is he a better partner for Colo? I guess WHU will be a great test. I'm sure Debuchy is a better footballer than Simpson. But from what i've seen so far. He's an inferior defender.

How much have you seen of MYM?

The players are very frustrated. A lot of our red cards/bookings are down to frustration. Some of them have personal problems (Colo last year), some of them are stupid (Tiote, Taylor) some are naturally rash (Debuchy) but all of them are petulant and do silly frustrated things. I don't blame Pardew for everything. But the discipline of his side reflects poorly on him. For such a dirty team we are weak as piss. Cabaye/Debuchy sum up our lot. BVut at least Cabaye/Tiote put a foot in.

MYM did look pretty good at CB. His pace helped Colo out one time glaringly. WHU willl be a great test for him.

I think Debuchy neesd to sit on the bench and just think about things.

He's clearly a talented manager. So was SAF. But he's not likeable in the slightest

Aye that Maher lad is a player....

What's likeable about AVB? Do wish we had our own Daniel Levy.

Look at balotelli.... holding the ball up.... how dare he....

His passing is shit.

It's not a forum thing either. Carragher and Neville both mentioned how bad he was.

There's the lad that got sent off. The scarecrow up front. And Debuchy.

Nah debuchy was a stand out for being so bad.

Honestly the best we can without Cabaye and no signings is Anita-Sissoko-Marveaux. Its not ideal but it will do. Nah Anita can't compete physically in this division. Unless Bigi can make the step up, I'm really not optimistic about the midfield Problem is Tiote is crap and offers nothing offensively and defensively. Anita at least offers something to the team in possession. As I said not ideal but it will do. What does Anita offer? He plays the same passes Tiote does. Siss offers something with his running in midfield but that's it. Crap passing.

Tbf, most teams need a lad that can do something with a chipped ball up to their chest. Welbeck Dzeko Giroud Torres (sometimes) Lukaku Even RVP, Aguero, Rooney etc. aren't weak as piss and can make the ball stick.

Nah, when you're down to 10 men against superior opposition, you just hope to relieve as much pressure as possible. You keep the lad most capable of moving the team up for a bit. With 10 men you need everyone to contribute.. Cisse offers nothing whatsoever outside the box.

Didn't understand that at all. He had the least hype of all the French lads but along with Mapou I think he has the most potential to be a hit here.

He's just fat,

He, Siss, Tiote will be a nightmare.

It's disgusting. Neither are very good at passing.

watching Tiote-Sissoko in midfield was harsh man. We need a passer/creator in there STAT.

Looked very decent at CB tbh

Agreed.
