He hasn't performed aswell in CM and he has at RB and vice versa with Perch. If this is the reasoning behind playing them there i'd be abit p*ssed off. Long term he might be a CM but at the minute he's not up to the pace to play CM so he should be bedded in at RB to get used to the pace of the league.
Din't disagree with you mate, just hazarding a guess that this may be the reason. Maybe Pardew is happy to give it a half and see how he gets on, if it's not up to scratch change round accordingly.
Anita was told he was purchased primarily as a CM, wasn't he? Thought it was a key part to the move. Got to follow through, I suppose. Shame as Perch was boss on Monday when he moved there.
It really isn't as bad as some of you are making out. We've dominated possession. Shit teams are always going to score once in a while. We're a final ball away from putting it together. I won't deny we don't look up to scratch, but it's not a complete nuclear disaster.
To me the whole side doesn't look that sharp - our pre-season didn't seem well-organised or set up and seemed to lack cohesion, and thus far, to my mind anyway, it's showing a bit on the pitch. We lack synergy.
