What is this tucking line up? Why change what worked at vvilla? Get Ben arfa back in his best position ffs

So bad.

Really nervous about this for some reason. Keep expecting Baines to smash a free kick into the top corner Really hope we don't have a shit line-up tonight. If Remy is injured then Gouffran has to come in for him.

Martinez seems to have a good record against us. I think the team should be more or less the one that played villa but if Remy is out I sort of expect Pardew to react to Hull and do something defensive like this: Krul Yanga-mbiwa Taylor Colo Santon Tiote Anita Ben Arfa Cabaye Sissoko Cisse

Hopefully Ben Arfa can't be as bad as he was against hull so that's a positive I suppose.

Remy is apparently injured Mole. Incase that affects your prediction in any way?

These fuckers are going to wait till just before the derby to appoint their new manager hoping once again for that new manager bounce for the only game they really care about all season

"family newspaper"

Swear every striker has a great record in Holland

Sneaky feeling he will put Mapou to right back and Taylor in at Centre back for this. Mainly because neither were involved last night and Everton's much talked of left side.

Least it's at home I suppose?

fuck

Every time I see Jaime Redknapp he is talking some kind of crap. Terrible pundit. Glad Mourinho put him in his place on Monday.

superb ball Sammy

it wasn't poyet who did the shit

Don't forget Harper would have given Hull an in-depth scouting report on all of our players. May have had an effect. They definitely knew our weak points and marshalled Ben Arfa well.

lots of people bought Ozil shirts?

I think saying he doesn't want to be here etc is reading way to much into it and quite frankly I think giving Cisse too much credit. He's just in really poor form and doesn't seem to know how to turn it around.

I really don't get the idea of setting a deadline by which he must score. Suppose he's crap against Leeds but manages to get a tap in? That would be fine. I really think he just needs a goal, tap in or not, just to get some confidence back. That chance he had with a header that he mistimed yesterday is an example of that.

To me it was pure arrogance and complacency. When you see Ben Arfa not being arsed to track back, midfielders not getting tight on their players etc it reeks of not showing enough respect to Hull. It became obvious at 1-0 when people started dribbling out of defence etc. I'm not surprised if the players got cocky though because their manager seems to think he's the shit after a couple of wins and started boasting in the press this week. I'm sure his arrogance seeps through to the players as well.

Forgot to say also, Cisse must play and must score vs Leeds or else i feel he needs dropping for Everton away. Sounds harsh but it's got to that point now where he's not contributing anything to the team really. Too many times the ball was played into him today just to simply control and link up the play and he either lost it or tried to simply pass it back and sent it out of play causing the whole team to have to move back down the pitch.

I know it looks doom and gloom but as we see a lot, there are always surprise results in the prem, just look at today. We got a draw against an inform Everton away last season so it's not impossible but obviously a very tough task. I've got a feeling we may be better suited to play away with the current lineup this season also. So Cardiff and Sunderland aren't out the question for potential wins. I'd guess maybe 4 points from that is realistic. Just shows what an important 3 points today could have been though.

Wouldn't mind him switching with Sissoko from time to time to allow Moussa to push further forward.

Fair play for him coming out in the interview on sky but didn't like that he couldn't remember how the first goal came about and had to be told by the interviewer. It was your lack of tracking back Hatem how can you forget? I know you have to accept he isn't likely to go defend much and Debuchy arguably should be staying in his position but for the good of the team he needs to make the effort to run back those 15 or so yards. Would like to know what was up with him today, was really looking forward to the game with all his soundbites leading up to it but he was really poor in everything he did near enough. edit* think he also says in the interview that they spend 30 minutes in the shower after the game talking about it.
