Awful today, the amount of times Evans escaped him and he was just desperately trying to catch him was laughable, we need to buy a proper CB cover and send him back to where he belongs, the lower leagues.
Our only useful offensive tactic recently has been giving the ball to Ben Arfa then hoping he will produce something, everything else has been pointless bar Shane Ferguson's crossing.
Right now its almost like the Allardyce days with all the long balls and pointless tactics, we need to sort it out as last season was one of the most enjoyable seasons i've ever watched us play.
I really like Pardew, one of the few managers we had who's not afraid of admitting he's wrong when he is and changing things, don't see many better managers around tbh.
Putting him upfront with Ameobi is really unfair for him, its not like Shola will beat defenders with his blistering pace to latch on to a pass from him.
