Lol wut

Time to get the comfort food out *munches cheese*

Fraud

Off the pitch at this rate.

Well, him and Anita.

Crossing has been poor but he's been good in the majority. I thought his crossing looks amazing compared to the floaty turds from before.

Simpson the only reason its still 1-0 this game. [/irony]

If we have to do a 4-4-2 have the decency to not play Jonas...

Feels weird to look at Ben Arfa on the left.

I've got it backwards, was always one of the worst players on the pitch but I'm moving further and further up the pitch because I kept trying <_< I love trying Ben Arfa dribbles when I get the chance, but I think I've only made it work about 3 times in total.

Who are the non-French speaking attacking players that we have? Shola, Ferguson, Sammy, Jonas?

Suarez has more in common with Bellamy than Ben Arfa, I think. The last player I've seen in the league who comes close to having Ben Arfa's dribbling ability and vision was Thierry Henry at his peak.

In the French squad maybe

Much more suited to the No. 10 role than HBA or Cabaye even, can't wait for all 3 of them to be on the pitch at the same time.

Fucking spoilers <_<

Looked vaguely like a 4-2-3-1 with Marv in the center and Cisse on the right. Wigan looked set to give us a beatdown until the sending off.

I've said for ages we should leave Jonas back with Santon taking his place in the box. We barely have anyone in their as it is and Jonas being in there serves no purpose at all. Jonas needs to be dropped, end of. The performances he has been putting in are Nicky Butt-esque, and I think even Obertan offers more than he does now.

Krul Santon Williamson Colo Ferguson Anita Tiote Sammy Marveaux Obertan Cisse May as well throw this one in if we're going to talk about formations that will never happen. Picked Cisse ahead of Ba because he has been slightly less selfish.

Yeah, he actually looks better when he attacks from fullback because of the extra room that affords him. I don't think he should be starting against Stoke though...

Would have done far better than Jonas on his last few outings, tbh.

And replace him with? Anyone Try again. Replace him with who? Anybody So you want the manager sacked yet cant bring up any suitable successors? Exactly how we ended up with Souness. There isnt many managers that would leave their stable job to come here, with little money to spend, under this board. E.g Laudrup. Someone suggested Clough!? The Derby fans wanted him gone at the start of the season man Martinez the only viable suggestion so far, even then Wigan hardly play the most inspiring football year on year. All of these folk saying Pardew should go are the ones failing to list a viable replacement. Whats wrong with Di Matteo, in all seriousness? Free agent, decent manager who likes to play on the ground, whats not to like about him? Same Di Matteo that was sacked from West Brom? His only big success in management was the CL and the FA cup, which were won playing some of the most negative football ive ever seen. West Brom played the same type of football (sans their current level of success) even when he was sacked. You're going to begrudge him for doing what he did against Bayern Munich with the team he had? They were still struggling and looked like relegation candidate when he was sacked. Hodgsons appointment ended up looking like a masterstroke. Not begrudging him at all, just saying if youre going to appoint him on the basis his teams play good football, then you can disregard his time at Chelsea. Appointing Di Matteo would hardly be a leap forward anyway. That was their first season back up, they were relegation candidates from the very start (as we were). He had a yo-yo season and was manager of the month just a few months before his sacking, which was off the back of a 3-0 defeat to Man City, not fucking Southampton. These manager awards really look more like curses.

"I expected a little more verve and a little more energy..." If that's what he really thinks we're lacking right now... And that bullshit about needing someone to make a little magic, ffs its a team sport.
