Nothing, as ironic as it is we talk about Ba doing what is best for the team but in the same context we can't afford to bend over backwards trying to do what's best for Cisse. We can't change the formation based on what worked for a few games last season, Ba is scoring, Cisse isn't. We are in poor form enough as it is, hoping Cisse finds that form again is too much of a gamble at this time. Not sure it constitutes a gamble given that every time Cisse's played centrally in a 3 he's done the business and we've functioned well as a team. Do you honestly believe he has performed to the best of his ability this season? Don't believe he's had the chance to, ludicrously.

Putting it mildly.

Dyer wouldn't have been the same player in this team as he was under Robson because he would be starting from much deeper in this team. Talking purely personnel, not tactics or formations.

True. Dyer too would walk into our current side.

Don't remember Ba ever scoring out wide.

Was nice to see us control a game for a change, like.

We were the better side in both halves and won the game against a team who came to defend. I saw an improvement, albeit a slight one.

Did fine against nothing.

Has Yorkie got something against Santon?

100% dive.

I don't blame him. The prospect of playing next to Mike Williamson must haunt his sleep. It haunts my sleep, and I don't even play football much anymore.

I think there was, slightly.

The difference is, Ba could play out wide and it worked well for the team and the player. Exactly, not to mention the fact that Cisse has never looked anything other than class in the middle of a 3. Spot on Ron. Here he is! Love this man.

Just what ma dad said. 'What the f*** you doing bringing them two off?' seemed to be the consensus around there. Why? Who wanted him off?

The crowd didn't want Jonas off either. Bunch of drunken lunatics.

Who isn't? Can be very good at what he does but he's no footballer.

I hope you're not serious, bud. That's the rubbish I'd expect from your pal Al.

Jonas looks abysmal in every role.

Please come here, Mathieu

I saw him touch Pardew's hand. There was no snub as such, not that I'd have blamed him.

Don't see why it should, like. Up against the tiring legs of the worst part of the worst team in the league - he should look good in that situation.

Played out of position, plays better than a tiring Ba and gets subbed off before the hour. The lad has every right to be p*ssed off and show it.
