Colo makes a "Steven Taylor Geordie Hero run" up to the opponent's box
-
I'm not even excited when Jonas shoots anymore
-
Fuck, was sure Barfa was going to score there
-
Yep, but they can afford to do whatever they like. Chelsea showing how nice it is to have infinite money, basically.
-
Should also be noted that the way we played in the first half isn't even all that different from 4-3-3 in the first place. Ben Arfa was practically living in the middle of the pitch.

Against a weakened chelsea side thinking about two massive cup finals. The point is we've proven that we can play well with a 4-4-2. Before Cisse, Ben Arfa etc etc came a massive part of the side..... not one thing about it works. Cisse scored 2 in the corresponding fixture when we were playing 4-4-2 last season... Yes i know but both goals had nothing to do with system..... 1 was Santon running down the wing and passing to Cisse and he scores an outstanding goal the other was that ridiculous goal from a throw in. 4-4-2 limits Cabaye and Ben Arfa's influence, makes us more vulnerable defensively etc etc and that's without mentioning the fact that Ba and Cisse as a 2 clearly don't work. I have no idea why people keep defending 4-4-2 it's clearly inferior in every way and everytime we use we are crap by comparison. Everytime Pardew changes to 4-3-3 from 4-4-2 during a match and how much we improve should be enough to confirm this. So when we play well in a 4-4-2 it is despite the system and when we play well in 4-3-3 it is because of the system? Hard to argue against that.

At the end of the day there's just no shame in being comprehensively outplayed and defeated away to a team who will probably be challenging for the title.

We won because you were there. You know this, and you still didn't go. Obviously the forum needs to subsidize my airfare so I can go every weekend.

We won this corresponding fixture last season with 4-4-2
-
Oh well, you wouldn't really expect us to win this match. They had more quality in the first half, pure and simple.

1 goal and 6 assists this season for Hazard
-
What a ridiculous piece of shit Hazard is.
-
Fuck. Too good for us I'm afraid.
-
Fantastic from Ben Arfa again.
-
Yep, we are non exsistent up front when they play together. It might have something to do with the fact that when we play this formation, we're usually away against better teams.
-
Oh come on, that has to be a foul
-
And fucking Hazard is taking it just to prevent me from getting fantasy points.
-
That was a class touch by Torres
-
Holy fuck, thank you Bertrand.

HBA is in the mood today.

Would absolutely love to have the option of Carroll when we're playing 4-4-2 in tough away matches like we are today.
