Unbelievable

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..

Of course. Well deserved. Get your fingers out FFS!

Shocking first half. Pardew needs to take a long hard look at himself for this lineup..

WTF Yohann?
