Gabbidon was walking with the ball, and Shola was running at him, but wasn't making up any ground. Shocking.

Ameobi falling to earth in slow motion is a thing of beauty

 

Shaq-esque.

Shola is very much like the latter day Shaq. Unreal.

Jonas back on the left and he cocks it up.

Shola is never in the right place, ever. So slow minded.

Are people listening to Wilkins spiel on Ben Arfa? It is basically an insight into how the typical English manager thinks about this type of player.

From my point of view that last run kept us in posession and actually threatened the oposition, he just maybe should have delivered it a bit earlier. In Wilkins view he gave away the ball too easily. Amazing.

Simpson is grossly unintelligent.

Jonas has been so effective in the middle, because he never stops moving off the ball. Always makes himself available for the pass. We don't have enough players that do this.

Ryan Taylor's use of the ball in the centre has been great. Tidy player in there.

Pardew will blame that on Ben Arfa ... countdown to Obertan replacing him is on.

Bothroyd dribbles in slow motion.

Shola is labouring out there. Making my eyes water. PLease take him off.

Don't want to see DJ Campbell or Macheda come on anytime soon. You just know they'll do something crazy to mess things up for us.

So was the early hoofball more instruction from Pards, or just sheer lack of composure from the players? People seem to be intimating it was more of a tactic.

Looked like it was more due to the static midfield. Ryan Taylor out wide was offering no movement whatsoever, and Jonas was still looking poor out there as he has been for a little while now. Cabaye and Guthrie had too much to do and weren't handling itwell it seemed.

Jonas workrate and ability to keep the ball is key in the centre. Really looked good in there. Certainly having more impact in there than he has been out wide of late.

Ben Arfa on the other hand looks much more threateing out wide, and the option he has to cut in from the right and shoot with his left makes him much more dangerous.

Would love to see Shola yanked and a front three with Obertan, Best and Ben Arfa. Some different options coming to light due to the Cabaye injury.

Much smoother with HBA on the park. No panic hoofing down the middle. Krul needs to stop it as well.

Agree, Krul can really work on his distribution.

Shola off for Obertan please. Best uptop and Obertan left.

Yes, I said OBERTAN!

Can't for the life of me figure out our formation or shape. Jonas roaming?

Jonas is pretty much roaming, yes. He's just off Shola.

Best is left. Ry. Taylor and Guthrie CM. Ben Arfa right side.

Loving Jonas in central, which we could see more of him in there.

Best is out left.

Jonas behind Shola.

Ben Arfa right.

Ryan Taylor and Guthrie in the middle.

Different I guess ...

Absolutely class player Leon Best. Jesus.

How long are we going to get away with Ryam Taylor in there. Is it really a good idea?

Cabaye had been absolutely awful to be fair. Won't miss much.

 

Clueless.

Are you even watching this game?

Guthrie and Ryn Taylor midfield. Yikes.

Cabaye had been absolutely awful to be fair. Won't miss much.

Ben Arfa doesn't deserve the indignity of being out there anyway. He wouldn't be able to have any kind of effect whatsoever. We can't pass the ball 5 yards out there.
