Theregulars

Disappointing result a la Hull at home, don't think we have 3 wins on the bounce in us.

It's just so unnecessary.

Red

Stupid sub, given Gouffran's defensive work

Urgh

Machine

Unlucky

What happened at half time

Pardew told them to defend and sit on the lead, like he always does when we score

Defoe always scores against us

Classic Moussa

Hi Spurs, have some pressure

Mapou man

Didn't need to do that at all

Santon, behave

Shola Ameobi being paid to be a footballer.

4-4-2 With Shola ffs.

 

Anita and HBA left out.

 

Pardew really?

 

Thoughts Brett?

 

I moaned at this against City and they put in a canny performance, i had half a moan at the line up before Chelsea and they won.

 

Can see why he's done it, options are limited, Cisse out of form, Ben Arfa struggled up top, Shola has give us something to aim at. Agree with the person a couple of posts up about the 4-4-2, Norwich played it and hardly seen the ball, hope we can do better than that. Feel sorry for Anita like, he should be starting. Dont' think Ben Arfa/Cisse/Colo can have too many complaints as they have either not took their chance or others deserve to be playing ahead of them.

Shola f***ing Ameobi is starting instead of Hatem Ben Arfa, there's no excuse for that man.

"he works hard"

"he's a jawdee and the jawdees wanna watch jawdees play"

"presence"

"Nigerian international"

Guess our gameplan is still to keep things tight until the 60th or 70th min before we have a go?

 

Gonna keep doing it until it doesn't work.

In a nutshell. He just moves between the 2/3 formations each time we lose/are losing, whichever one makes us "keep it tight" against the opposition of that day.

When you've just beaten Chelsea I don't suppose we can complain too much about an unchanged lineup.

 

 

You can. He's starting Shola. There is no justification for that selection, ever.

4-4-2 is not the formation to play against Spurs. Their midfield should pass ours to death.

 

2 banks of 4.

 

Theirs?

 

OURS!

OKAY.

My point being that it's just the standard unimaginative fearful pap from Pardew.

What's Spurs' lineup?

Better than ours

Saylor needs to go like, he's been holding us back for ages now taking up a squad place that could be filled by someone who stays fit.

Thoroughly agree; have always thought he's been given longer rope because he's a Geordie.

Think Jol could be gone today

 

Who could Fulham get to replace him. I have no idea.

Good question; think Zola would do well there
