Needs to be dropped, now. In this form he's nothing but a blackhole for crossing opportunities.

What? Not that hard to comprehend mate. How would you have set up the team otherwise? Our bench options were poor. Either a 4-3-3 or a 4-4-2 with more of the full backs and wingers on their natural sides. Take your pick. I absolutely agree with you here, and yet I'm still not sure how much of a difference that would make. Our problems look deeper than switching formations or alternating our wingers imo. [/snip] It won't fix everything, but it'd get Ba/Cisse working at least, which is obviously vital for us.

It was bad enough that I didn't mind Reading scoring first to stir things up.

Hope we've learned that Fergie needs to start the next game if we play 4-4-2.

Fuck yes Ferguson + Ba!

Pretty much. Tavernier is going to be scarred for life from this.

Anita & Ameobi on the bench are literally our closest attacking options. Ferguson? Hell I'd throw Ameobi on right now if we're going to continue punting it.

Lets get a few (more) footballers on the pitch now, please?

What the hell

Screw playing football, lets just get Ameobi on for Jonas

Gangnam style

Well, Marveaux.

Nah, as much as I love him that just looks suicidal. What we really need are two other midfielders who aren't absolutely useless on the ball, in the creative sense.

Ben Arfa looks the only person capable, maybe Santon at a push. Gutierrez needs to up his game, been really poor for a while now. I've never seen a player more reluctant to take a shot on than Santon though.

I wonder what's happened to his shooting, I remember how he'd hit ridiculous volleys on target all the time in his first few games here, now I don't think he's gotten a single shot on target from open play this season.

Yeah, its annoying that the likes of Fulham and West Brom are well ahead of us movement wise.

Can't remember many quite like it. A perfectly judged yet powerful lob from outside the penalty area... with a header. *skeptical* "Let's see what this allegedly special goal looks like." ... http://i.imgur.com/eD7hY.png ...How?! If that was in Goal, people would have burned the theaters down. ^Had the same reaction.

He's been working on that right foot

Yeah, which is why I used my wildcard

Does that count as an assist and a goal?

Yawn. Bring Ben Arfa on already

It sounds like a similar injury to the one Ben Arfa had, so he'll hopefully be fine.

Perch for England!

Would be fantastic for us I cant think who would go with Johnson, perhaps Phil Jones will be the back up right back. that would be daft in the extreme, Jones hasn't exactly shone this season and if its an issue of covering cb Richards covers that too. Plus determining Johnson as better than Richards is insane If Walker and Richards dont go .. they are the only other options. There's still Perchinio.

Could be worse than my random Zamblera post in a Pardew thread. Well, at least there was a formation related post in the same page
