In for a rude awakening if you think Rafa is going to play him and Ritchie imo.
One of them would be on the bench.
He's started Ritchie and Atsu together. No reason he wouldn't play Townsend with the former.
We've lost every game in which we haven't scored first, though. It's a fair point to make.
As said, though, we're not really in competition with Brighton as far as this thread goes.
He didn't manage Thauvin, he barely had 4 months with Cabella, and as for 'ruining' Gouffran.
Seriously, I don't wanna defend Pardew but you've got to cork this never-ending stream of rubbish posts.
Yeah it'd be Routledge all over again, but better. We'd have huge threat on both wings and teams wouldn't be able to contain us, especially at home.
Who would you put on the left?
Ritchie, but I'd happily see them alternate.
We've lost.
Guaranteed to give a stupid foul away which will lead to a goal. Birminghams' 12th man.
You'd think he'd replaced Xavi, not an utterly shit obsolete excuse for a midfielder.
