Cabaye and Tiote did very little, I thought that Tiote was the better of the two. That all-round worst performance has been going on since half time against Arsenal.

Change of plan, we're now going to try again in August.

Sorry, I was just getting in before anybody else said it.

That'll be a replacement for Krul.

I would say it was easily his worst performance, at least he's had the bottle and decency to hold his hand up for the 2nd goal.

Agreed.

You've done well to sum it up, I can't.

From his twitter: Disapointin night 4 every1.. There freekick is something that is worked on in training n just went badly tonight, we do it everygame for every freekick! We r positive n time 2 take more points off utd on wed

I'm not sure Jonas was the worst player on the pitch, I think we had quite a few fighting it out for that.

You might as well have said it for what difference him saying it will make.

How's that bloke at Huddersfield doing?

He can't play against Man U for his own good as he'll get slaughtered if we go behind, he needs dropping for his own protection.

I didn't say in, I said fighting for which is a big difference.

One of Ryan Taylor/Simpson doesn't need to be playing.

They must feel like shop keepers who have just noticed the town they trade in has had a bypass built around it.

It's not, both would have played to our strengths and we wouldn't bypass what should be a strong midfield.

Do I have to start naming players who are not Ginola/Robert, Solano/Gillespie & Bellamy/Beardsley? Pardew probably wouldn't pick most of those anyway. Andy O'Brien, Steve Caldwell, Darren Ambrose, Michael Bridges, Andy Griffin and Wayne Quinn for starters.

I don't think he got the best out of any of them tonight. On current form the only ones who are excelling are Coloccini and Ba, I think every other outfield player could do better or be replaced by somebody in the squad who could. Krul, I’ve no problem with him, he’s playing as well as he can. Ryan Taylor needs to be replaced by Santon. Simpson, had a mare but generally isn’t that bad at defending but he’s rarely gets any help from Obertan. Williamson needs more games, I think playing Kadar instead of Perch or Simpson in the centre of our defence would have inproved us for 1 or 2 games. Coloccini is playing well more often than not. Tiote often bypassed when the ball goes over his head and would benefit from a more passing game, same goes for Cabaye. Obertan, no comment, should be dropped and on current form dropped for either Jonas or Ben Arfa. Jonas needs to move forward and that will only happen when Ryan Taylor leaves the team and Jonas can strike up a partnership with Santon who can actually defend. Ba is playing brilliant but might/will do even better if he gets the service. Vuckic needs more games but has shown promise and shouldn’t have gone off when he did.

I would put my house on Sir Bobby or Keegan having our team fighting for 4th because they would both get the best out of the players that we currently have, Pardew isn't doing that.

Who should take his position?

I didn't hear him on talksport but the first thing I thought when he screwed up was that he was heading for the corner of the goal. It was moronic and the worst defending he's done while here so I would love to know what he thought he was doing.

Our first substitution was laughable because I think 90% of our fans knew what was going to happen but the manager didn't. The 2nd substitution was the act of a coward because taking Vuckic off was easier than taking Obertan off and we were actually worse for the 2nd change. The 3rd was pointless with little or no time left.

Our current form, since the first week in November is shit, in a weeks time it will be the first week in January and 2 months since we went off the rails.

Spot on.

Give over man, you're defending the indefensible.
