Unbelievable

Cisse has been unlucky, if he hadnt caught either so cleanly he would have scored. No excuse for his offsides mind. Cisse's done fine, he connected well with both chances. He's finding space and getting the ball, the rest is just a matter of time. You forgot the easiest one it seems.

Cisse has been unlucky, if he hadnt caught either so cleanly he would have scored. No excuse for his offsides mind. The header and the volley were instinctive attempts of the type he scored last season, so I can understand the lack argument. The Debuchy lay up was a fairly easy finish you'd expect a top Premiership striker to tuck away though..

HT: some decent football, a fantastic goal, could have been more had Cisse been in form. Keep it up lads.

Have you been quarantined the last few weeks? No, he's been great, but just keeps getting better. Surprisingly consistent too. I was talking about moreso when everyone is back, and him keeping that position behind the front man. Fair 'nuff

Fatnastic ball from Cabaye again

He's celebrating before it hits the net

Knew it was coming

YoCabs!!!

YES!

Howay Cabs!

Marveux

Jonas FFS

"Get rid of Ba, put Cisse in the middle, the goals will flow.."

Cisse FFS

Get away 30 minutes gone, that was the best of him too..

Cabaye

Cisse should have scored

Pog should score

Jonas has been shocking so far..

Howay the lads!

Wouldn't surprise me if we lose by 3 or more today..

Who could he play either side of Cisse? Obertan's not good enough to start, Jonas is utterly s*** up there, and Marveaux is better in a deeper role. I'm disgusted the likes of Shola and Jonas are starting, but it goes way further than Pardew. He's being f***ed over too. That said, fail to win today and he'll lose whatever support I have for him. Pardew can't have it both ways though as he was praising the board in the summer for keeping the squad together. You know it's perfectly possible to praise keeping the squad together (i.e. not sell of the likes of Ben Arfa and Cabaye when there must have been suitors), whilst at the same time criticising them for the lack of incomings/focus on the wrong positions. I know, because I was in that camp personally.

Put the opposition striker onside by strolling back leisurely is my bet
