Unbelievable

YES!!!!

Pepe dive and acting like he's been murdered. Fuck off.

Just shows how little we rate his ability and/or attitude. We'll be desperately trying to sell him (or give him away) in January ahead of his contract running out in the summer. If that's the case, even more serious questions need to be asked about how we planned to go through the first half of a Premiership season with 3 centre backs, one of whom got seriously injured before the transfer window closed and with no confidence in any of our reserve or youth players coming in and being able of doing a job if needed. It's just incredibly bad management and it's costing us very dear. Also, Kadar used to be seen as a promising youngster and didn't look out of sorts on the few occasions we got to see him. He does not have a documented history of behavioral problems unlike some other youngsters who we've given much more slack in recent years. From what I've read and heard about the reserve matches he has captained the side in recent weeks and done alright, so there's no reason to suspect there's anything seriously wrong in terms of form, fitness or mentality. For that reason to not have him in the squad in our hour of need for me is unforgivable unless we get a plausible explanation.

He was our only recognised, specialist, fit centre back. Pardew not even considering him for a squad position is criminal negligence if you ask me.

Are we time wasting Alan? Idiot!

Maybe...? Maybe..? Of fucking course he should..

It's a joke pardew doesnt want ben arfa to play on the wing that's reality Aye, I can't see HBA refusing to play there and prefer to sit on the bench..

Oh fuck off!

Sammy..? I can see HBA becoming quite frustrated now..

How can Alan sit there and not make a sub..?

Obertan just letting the Norwich player swing in a cross. Get him off FFS Alan!!!

Well done Santon.

ALAN, are you awake?! This is the time to make some positive changes!

What a striker we have on our books. Unbelievable!

YES!!

Except we shouldn't be winning because we've not given ourselves a chance with this lineup.. Obertan, Shola, no specialized centre back (Kadar), no HBA.. Alan has a lot to answer for today.

Gosling you pillock..

Thanks Alan, great tactics, excellent use of subs.

Gosling FFS..

Poor from Krul...

How did he have every right to go for it FFS. Didn't even get close to touching the ball..

He's chosen a gameplan and the personnel to suit, HBA wouldn't fit into this game because the ball has been pinged from one end to the other. Is the "gameplan" working and does the personnel seem to know what it is supposed to do?

Fantastic from both Cabaye and Ba.

YES!!!! Good goal Ba!

Gosling FFS..
