I respect him for wanting to play 2 strikers and was curious to see how it would work today but we simply don't have the right players for it. There's not enough width or delivery in the squad and we desperately need a second striker to link play effectively, Shola is just way too slow to be any good in that role.
-
I know he's not a winger but I expected more of him, in all honesty. I was looking forward to having a left footed player on the left but he drifted in too much, making us even more narrow, and I don't remember him crossing the ball at all in open play. He simply just doesn't have a winger's mentality, he's not direct enough. Sammy was more dangerous when he came on but his delivery is absolutely woeful.

This. He was solid, him and Anita were pretty vocal as well.
-
How did he last 90 minutes?! He's just too slow, both physically and mentally. Tried daft things far too often too, like trying to Cruyff turn 3 players on the edge of the box.

Vurnon Anita (now playing for RKC Waalwijk)

Played some lovely passes and was solid. He was my MOTM. -
Just doesn't have the physicality to compete in a midfield battle, AM is the only position he can consistently play in this league.

Decent team (bar Shola) if that's what it really is. Going to be good having a left footer on the left and 2 creative midfielders on the pitch at the same time. -

Probably Giggs but Williamson's injured, he doesn't start training again until Monday. -

Well for now yes, but once Remy is fit and if we sign some more players i wouldn't be adverse to dropping Cisse at all. That's why I said come Saturday I'd be delighted with: HBA Gouffran Remy -

We need as many goal threats on the pitch as possible, Cisse and Gouffran are our only true goal-getters, they both need to be on the pitch come Saturday. -

Marveaux and Ben Arfa supplying Cisse and Gouffran's movement should be a real threat, I really hope that all 4 start this weekend. -
I didn't catch the second half, how were Colo and MYM at CB?

Pardew will only get stick if he fucks up the starting 11, which he could do. The team pretty much picks itself at the minute but it wouldn't surprise me if Shola and Sammy start with Gouffran and Marveaux bench-warming. -
Official: Yoan Gouffran signs new contract with Goztepe

From what I saw, he should have stayed on last night. As always, he was a willing runner and was economical with the ball. Really underrated player. -
Gomis and Thauvin?
-
Didn't realise he'd said we need more players in the squad and he hopes the chairman spends money. Fair play for saying it in public.
-
Cabaye's a better footballer than Nolan, no question, but one suited the team and manager far more than the other.
-
He's mint, need to get him and Marv on the pitch at the same time, desperately.
-
Scared and intrigued as to what he means by 'more positive team' against West Ham. He surely must mean Marveaux.
-
I'm not too worried yet but if we don't get 4 points minimum from the next 2 league games, I will be.
-
I agree with his comment that we looked OK before the sending off but threatening the goal was a load of bullshit. I thought it looked like the same old, we have some comfortable footballers in possession and therefore had some nice interchanges but we lack balance and cutting edge in the final 3rd.

I suspect Jonas will be out on Saturday so this lad should get his chance. It will be unbelievable if he doesn't start, perfect game for him.
