This win just papered over the cracks. The first half was good, we were looking really well and have done a few times this season, but that's not the problem. The problem is how Pardew handles games when we're winning at half time. The negativity on the pitch nearly cost us the win. We should have went out and killed them off but didn't. The game was crying out for Anita and Ben Arfa early in the 2nd half and it never happened. It's an away win and a very important one, but the next few fixtures are worrying.
We need Ben Arfa on to hit them on the counter man. Why can't Pardew see the obvious? He probably hasn't got a clue what to do. Here comes Bellamy now, fucking great.
