Been shite ever since the Olympics. Excellent move for him. Hopefully he can regain form and get called up to the World Cup.

Cleverley looks happy

Don't think Sissoko makes better decisions in areas that count. If anything Sissoko always makes the wrong decision in the final third.

Copout? If you remember that Gouffran/Remy chance you'll remember him getting behind the defenders and getting at the goalkeeper as the defenders stood still, that's not an effect of high pressuring, it's an effect of Gouffran being more intelligent than the others. A high pressure team in my eyes is when you put pressure on as a team, you suffocates teams ability to pass the ball around, if we did that yesterday and Southampton still had 60% of the ball possession we were horrible at it. I don't buy for a second we were more direct because only had three really good goal chances all game. One resulted in a goal, where their defender was sleeping and the two others Remy should've put away with ease but were due to mistakes. As for the Remy, every team in this league puts pressure on the goalkeeper because they're bound to make a mistake at any time and also it forces the goalkeeper to hoof it (even if he was pretty successful yesterday in finding his teammates). 99 out 100 times the goalkeeper gets the ball away, so if you don't think it's a mistake go ahead, I'm not going to argue on what you SHOULD believe, just what I saw. I'm obviously not happy with only a draw against Southampton at home, but then again we beat the likes of Chelsea, Man U and Spurs so it evens out at the moment. Pardew does need to get us playing the 1st half stuff in the 2nd half.

I agree a bit with his statement about us expecting maybe to much against Southampton, who are a far better team than most give credit for on here. IMO, the two mistake didn't come from our ''non-stop pressing'' which we don't do. It came from Gouffran at first being opportunistic and the second came from what every single team does which is try and not give the goalkeeper time, it was a horrible mistake from the goalie. I don't agree we press non-stop at all. As for the game I don't think we played particularly good, we weren't horrible either. I think Pardew is to blame for starting Shola, we lacked some sort of creativity all afternoon and with Cabaye out, Ben Arfa has to be on the pitch. I'm not going to blame him for the result though, because with his tactics there's going to be results like this and there's going to be wins like away to Spurs. I don't like his brand of football and what it stands for, but at the end of the day I don't think he could careless about what fans think about the football as long as he's getting results for the club.

It's horrible. It's seriously one of the worst miss I've seen. At least get it on target. He gets it 5-6yards wide...

What an absolute moron he is They look a far better side than they did under Moyes, far more about them all over the pitch.

Surprised tbh. Haven't watched enough of them but they've been a decent side at times. Think they do lack quality in the team though.

This page is what makes this forum so great.

Possibly

Fuck you Hope Rose dies.

? f*** do you know how he's done at Bordeaux before. Only last season he had 5goals in 6 games. 'Form of his life tbh' Settle down wee lad. Trust me, I'm settled.

Been so close to a second straight hattrick.

Montoya 8th or 9th time he gets into that position and takes a touch or two too many.

? f*** do you know how he's done at Bordeaux before. Only last season he had 5goals in 6 games. 'Form of his life tbh' Who the f*** are you sniping you pompous prick? Do you just look at stats or performances? You're an idiot tbh as you proved with your Anita quip. All smileys and attention seeking, little relevant content. Tbh I was more reacting at you calling his form the form of his life when I can guarantee everyone you haven't watched enough of him at either Caen or Bordeaux to say it's the form of his life. As for the Anita ''quip'', I'll stick to that, especially after todays game. I love Anita to bits, but calling him a creative midfielder is beyond ridiculous when that isn't what he does. I watch enough foreign football thank you & you know nothing about me or my football intake so pipe the f*** down & I've seen him at Bordeaux a few times- which to be frank Ligue 1 is well below the premier league and that's fairly obvious. He's handling a higher level well & playing a totally different game. ''Especially after today's game'' when he skinned about 4 players and put it on a plate only for nobody to be there, you're doing both players a disservice. Anita is a great player and he can slot in anywhere but I suppose you know best eh? Or at least that's what your tedious rhetoric suggests... What's the point in even arguing? I'm not saying you don't watch foreign football, where did I suggest that? I'm only saying that out of the 320+ appearances he's made in football, I'd think you haven't watched more than 40odd ones he's made for us (if you have fair enough still doubt it), and therefore being unable to draw the conclusion. As for skinning players, that doesn't say anything, it's quite ridiculous that you take that moment. How am I doing any of the two a disservice? I've thought they've been great. Already said that Anita makes us tick and makes us a far better team while I'd argue Gouffran has been our best player the past month. You take stuff out of context and make them fit your argument. Ridiculous. Anyways, off I go, discussing with you is impossible. I think it's been proven by plenty on here. Don't even know why I bothered.

Also no need for insults like that. Be glad I'm not a crybaby as you are otherwise I'd be crying to an admin at the moment.

Starting Shola is enough to warrant criticism.

Barcelona doing a Newcastle. These first 5mins of the 2nd half they've not been anywhere near their 1st half level.

thinking about where he will be next season. Body language lately has definitely seemed off. No idea why. Looks like he doesn't give a s***. Whereas every single player behind him works their bollocks off. DJ, you talk more s*** than I do and that's probably saying something! Awful comment that over a couple of missed chances to suggest now he doesn't care or give a s***. One of the only things I've agreed with you saying ever.
