Pardew last week..."We can go to Tottenham and let our hair down. We will have a go and if we get beat, we get beat."

hoping its not more than 6...

Obvious.

Didn't we try to flog Best yesterday? His confidence can't be very high.

ben arfa in the no.10 role or not at all.

I think it'll be perch on for ben arfa!

oh dear

Obertan might at least let us regain some shape even tho he's turd

This. we got no shape. Back to basics please

Sounds a bit like where we left off at Brighton?

Defoe to Liverpool?

Meh, just have to forget about this. Onwards with the league now, at least ba and cisse are back soon.

This is amazingly shit!

Shola's off the ball movement is awful, he's so frustrating to watch, may aswell play a centerhalf upfront!

Agree, I've got a feeling R.Taylor will come in at Right Midfield with Ben Arfa starting just behind Best or Shola.

This lad looks like the business!

No way will Blackburn sell Samba, not for under 8mil anyway.

Oh come on. Best to keep the ball? Have we not gone through this already. And bring on Ben arfa to do basically what Vuckic has done? Okay so you could argue Shola deserves a shot, just someone who can help Ba out up there and bring the midfielders into the game.

Techinically our two wide players have been very poor.

Id chuck on Best for Vuckic, we need the ball to stick better up top.

Shola is actually quite effective as an impact sub...

What exactly is best doing? Not having a go but his name dosn't seem to be coming up much?

Also gives the back 4 so much protection when he's playing. He breaks up play and presses the opposition with his workrate brilliantly, all top teams need a Tiote!

Not sure about the Obertan abuse on here, i only caught the extensive highlights from saturdays game v Swansea but I felt he looked like a threat especially first half. He got some dangerous balls into the box. In actual fact he offered more than Jonas really. A major problem sat was Ba and Best making the same runs into the box. The way we played I'd be inclined to keep it the same with a replacement for cabaye ofcourse. Not sure Vuckic is ready for a start yet although we don't have no other options really! Goes to show our squad is bare thin at the moment.

We've got a number of players who have had very little game time recently, a disjointed display is expected imo
