Think we'll be fine, to be honest. Mid-table again, around 11th or 12th. We'll do well in games where we're the counter-attacking team. The problem remains when sides come up here and we can't break them down, it's something we've been terrible at for some time. If only we had an accomplished dribbler to complement our new playmaker and goalscoring attacking midfielder. The annoying thing is, we were actually close to having a decent blend in our forward line. Obviously, we are lacking a top quality forward but a 3 of HBA, Cabella and de Jong would've been great and provided enough ammo for even a half-decent striker to get 10 goals. Good mix of talents there. Banking on Aarons to basically fill HBA's boots now, I reckon. Oh well, cunts.

He's used to carrying a club, at least. Feel sorry for him, comes here with it all to do.

It was decent, until yesterday. Cabella and de Jong were really good purchases, the former especially and I'm confident he's going to be as massive for us as he was for Montpellier. However, we're now left without any cover so we pretty much need to go injury free for the next 4 months... f***ing hell, man. We needed to add to the early buys, not weaken ourselves.

How can one person need so much money? Joyless cunt.

Fucking weirdo freak, going to a proper club.

Hope he waltzes through Colo and Williamson, in a few weeks, scores a blinder, runs up to Pardew and reveals a MYM t-shirt. Then turn around and give him the finger, just for good measure.

I used to think it was odd that people hated him so much that they wanted him dead. Now, I'd do it myself.

what a sad way for it to end.

Destroying NUFC, the cunt.

Steven Taylor is still here :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Matterface I've not forgotten this tweet he sent out “for 430 ish….xxx mIss you sexy lady with the most gorgeous face in the world… and the sexiest boobies I have ever seen…. so hot xx”

Glad he's going to a proper club, like. He's got a lot of talent, just needs a run of games and a manager that believes in him. Not our fucking shit plank.

We'e so fucking stupid

Away games are better suited to his shit tactics, I think we'll actually win a couple of them...

Thrown into the deep end, and then some. It'd be nice if Pardew told him to get defenders on the turn rather than having to be the bloke that constantly has to show for the ball and try to play teammates in from dinked long balls. de Jong should be the link man but he was seemingly told to push right up, yesterday. He displayed a great touch and acceleration at one point in the second half., if he's going to be a success here, we're going to have to play to those sorts of strengths. That means a proper game plan would be needed, though, so expect more aimless shit for the foreseeable.

Spot on. This is why now Pardew is truly f***ed. Yep. I mean, Cabella is a very different player to Ben Arfa, he's a wide man in the same sense as Silva, Nasri or even Mata (at Chelsea). He requires a bit of thought to get the best out of as he's not the type that's just going to get the ball and beat loads of players.

He's best coming into that space. Could be a neat tactic to have Riviere play the channels, de Jong pushes up and Cabella drifts in to the hole. Would need to encourage movement and would leave gaps, though, so won't happen.

I do despair, like. Cabella was an incredibly effective player at Montpellier, he's not just some daft show off. He's not Ben Arfa in terms of dribbling but there's plenty of good in his game, both on the ball and off it. As usual, we need to play to his strengths and not allow him to be doubled up on. Let him drift and give him support and he'll create and score plenty.

It's almost as having at least one proper winger is good.

3 games, man

Positioning was rubbish, as was Sissoko's. Neither plugged defensive gaps or got forward much.

A couple of positives but totally outweighed by some absolutely massive negatives. Namely some of the most comical defending I've ever seen.

What the fuck's he doing with our central midfield? They were here nor there, today, fucking oceans of space in the middle.

He took Clichy down the line against City, if I recall, so he does have it. Just seems to be a little lacking in confidence and not baiting his man enough to make his move.
