Theregulars

Love the bloke but Pardew's got his tactics completely wrong today.

We've reverted to long ball.

The football they are playing is much, much, much better than ours today. By a mile right now.

Cabaye needs to be off set pieces for me today, he's hard about 7 chances, all shit.

Yeeeeeeet another foul

Good Lord our corners have been pants today.

Look like we're missing perch.

Frustrating.

Odd switch

Exactly, the mind boggles its almost like Pardew is trying to get Ba a goal than win the bloody game ffs. Never before has the word 'exactly' been used so inaccurately.

Anyone else think it may just be a lethargic performance from 2 sides who have played a lot more football than usual recently?

This sums it it up perfectly. Ba has a face like a smacked arse, need to think about winning, not him scoring Really?

This game has SHOLA written all over it.... Slightly Humble Overall Lamentable Attempt at football. That number 23 might change shit up, mind.

Turgid, attritional affair. Was never going to be any different the way Bolton lined up and have approached the game, but I'm disappointed we haven't carved out a few more chances with the creativity available.

Christ almighty.

Tbf I rinsed him but Ricketts is absolutely owning HBA.

Cabaye's corners are garbage sometimes.

Think we're trying to be a bit too clever, that's my only criticism. Other than that Bolton are making it hard, credit

also, never offside in a month of sundays.

Ba... off the pace again

really dirty, niggly little team. Their tactic is clearly to waste as much time as possible and break up player all the time.

Surely Pratley can't be far off a yellow?

hooooow was that not a foul on Ba?

Petrov v Danny Simpson might have been an issue 5 years ago, current Martin Petrov is poor. Current Danny Simpson is poorer. Nah Touche
