Mick

He was playing left back and as usual he was nowhere to be seen when required to defend, he's hopeless.

Ryan Taylor was a defender today, where was he for the 3rd goal? Remember he was playing left back at the time.

Obertan was getting mild boo's around me when the team was announced before the game.

No way should Ryan Taylor be in the team in any position other than a substitute if we've got nobody else better.

One of the only good things about tonight was the performance of Vuckic, I hope he now gets the run of games he deserves. I've seen him quite a few times for the reserves and kids but didn't expect the performance he gave us tonight. I thought that he would look good, he was even better than that as he played a major part in the game for us.

I'll take that bit back then.

It's not working, half of it is, half of it isn't.

He's only just starting to have to make decisions and they're turning to shit.

He's clueless. The first two goals come through the middle so if he's going to change something you would think he might bring on Williamson for Perch, no he takes the left back off for Ryan bastard Taylor and where does the ball come from for the next goal. Yes, right where Ryan bastard Taylor should have been defending but wasn't because he was hiding again. Best and Obertan were itching to be taken off at half time yet the change only takes place once the crowd virtually tells the manager what to do, he's a clueless clown. When Cabaye comes back he needs to bring him straight back into the team and drop Best for Vuckic and drop Obertan for Ben Arfa.

Well?

Clueless has to earn his money and make a decision at half time, Best or Obertan off. Obertan has an assist but he bottled shooting.

I wonder if Best is offside more times than he has shots?

Obertan again, I hope he plays well becauuse he might get some stick if not.

I'll be happy to see the back of him so I never have to consider the possibility of him playing for us again.

A crime is a crime.

I don't see much of an ego, as for his re-tweeting, website and his app, so what? Even the media whoring, all he's done is put across where he is with his contract negotiations and I don't see why that should be seen as a problem as all it does it stops people making shit up about him wanting to leave. I'm sure he was getting stick on twitter and has just tried to put an end to speculation. It seems strange that any of the above would bother anybody.

The striker injury is probably Ranger, at a guess.

We need somebody other than Ba to start scoring.

I think it's 7 league games without a goal for Best.

Can it be more end product when we currently play Best who hasn't scored since October or Obertan who has 1 assist and no goals so far this season? If it is then Pardew works with double standards.

Most of that is debatable and has nothing to do with how Ben Arfa isn't getting games because he isn't working hard enough.

15% of our league goals have come from midfield, 10% from defence and 75% from forwards (I've excluded an own goal as we didn't score it). Ba has scored 55% of the league goals scored by our players. I don't think any of our players have scored enough goals other than Ba and Ryan Taylor.

It's over 2 month since the last one, even Lovenkrands doesn't have to go that far back for his last goal, admittedly it wasn't in the league.

I hope that you're right but I have my doubts.
