That's a really good article

Pretty sure he's statistically one of the best tacklers in the squad His dribbling is an interesting one. It's like he's excellent in tight spaces against defenders but struggles when he's got more space out wide and a defender or two to attack. He certainly looks more confident dribbling through more congested central areas. It's probably down to a lack of athleticism, he needs those tricks to get going because he lacks the acceleration to knock it past players.

Just needs confidence in him and a run of games and he'll be a good player for us. You could see he was rusty and nervous at the beginning but really grew into it.

He's been trying to come back for months.

Still foaming about this. Those subs, man, absolutely diabolical.

Gouffran will definitely start. No way Carver will have the balls to attack, probably spent so long with Pardew that he was shitting himself after watching Burnley draw at City.

up to him to prove him wrong now. Well, it's up to someone to give him a proper chance, actually. Not fair on the lad that when he performed well in cameos that he was then dropped because he didn't rip up trees when having to defend against Chelsea for 60 minutes in his next game etc. He needs a run of matches to settle, as well as a manager to show confidence in him and his technical ability rather than constantly blithering on about needing English physicality.

I feel like I don't know what to do

Can't even be bothered to get annoyed anymore.

I saw one bloke on True Faith's FB page say 'shape' and 'balance' are irrelevant buzz words that people who don't know anything about football say to look intelligent. That's the kind of dipshit we're dealing with here, Pards is here to stay.

And taking Tiote off instead of Colback. I don't even like the bloke but a Colback-Sissoko central midfield is a disaster, as well as the total lack of width that followed the sub. Just a fucking shit mess.

I dunno why I did, tbh

PML I dunno like, he's just banging on about players having no bottle or courage...then uses Taylor as an example of player with courage and then gives Pardew partial credit because he 'went for it'...then says that Cabella was a waste of money...then starts banging on about the players being not good enough. Just spouts shite.

MOTD picking up on some of the real reasons for our loss. No direct criticism, of course, but better than the usual shite.

Cracking quote from Janmaat. He'll be abused from our 'pashun' lot for it, no doubt.

Or protect the defence. Their positioning is awful, like, both just chase the ball. Abeid is a huge miss as he actually picks up the central space.

He's not really been at the races for a while now, bar the odd flash. He does need to mix it up when taking on defenders, at least keep the full back guessing.

What a muppet this bloke is. Please, fuck off.

So chucking on all the strikers and losing any semblance of balance and midfield protection didn't work? I'm shocked.

Ahahahaha what a load of utter shit that is. Fucking coward.

I thought he had some potential but he just looks rubbish. Seemed to have some athleticism about him in that City game but that's disappeared now.

So dreamy on the ball, at times. His balance is great, so hard to stop players that can weave so quickly when dribbling. He could be seriously good, in a couple of years.

He's definitely not putting in his best, like. Compare him now to what he was doing a year ago, he was at least working hard then and seemed to want to get in the box occasionally. He just seems lifeless, now, like he'd rather be anywhere else than on a football pitch.

Haidara's been poor in possession.

Colback has been abomination. His positioning has been even worse than every other aspect of his game.
