You probably haven't noticed but he gets sucked inside when Coloccini gets sucked out wide, it's called covering and Pardew has just been on ESPN with the biggest grin on his face I've seen today. He overcovers at times but that doesn't excuse his lack of passing ability, he cant even clear the ball, he kicks with same pace and strength of my 6 yr old, simply he isn't good enough and never will be. I'd love someone to make a compilation of all the times he touched the ball today because it really is shocking how bad he is with the ball. Plus his lack of pace is a real problem. Gets done by attackers and then when going forward the balls that are passed to him constantly go out of play because he can never get to them. Normally you would blame the passer for that but each example were acceptable weighted passes.

What does Simpson need to do to get dropped??? --------------------Krul------------------------------ Perch--------willo ------Coloccini----------Santon ------------------------------------------------------ Ben Arfa------Tiote--------Cabaye---------Jonas ------------------------Ba------------------------ -----------------------Cisse-----------------------

Scary that he has played the most games for us this season.

Our right side is really weak. Williamson, Simpson and Obertan.

disgusting defending, particularly from Simpson but everyone has given the ball away dangerously. Adebayor and saha are bringing the ball down with an unreal about of ease and their whole team just have too much pace. Every attack is basically a goal.

Clearly not aware how many points behind we are

John Barnes is fucking horrific. Thought i'd seen the end of his "insight" when he left channel 5

Come on Obertan. Do something today please we need you!

Agree.

Sewelly saw your avatar in another thread and it's awesome. Great use

My Dad sat and watched the game with me for the first time in ages yesterday and was getting so frustrated with Obertan. Kept moaning when he didn't knock it out his feet and run (when he was 1on1 with Dunne) and taking too many touches before putting a cross in. I was like "dad this has actually been one of his better games but at least now you understand how frustrating he can be"

i think we should learn our lesson from the liverpool game. Just go for it and show no respect rather than the cautious approach because we simple don't have the players for that but we do have most of our attacker's fit.

No other manager would get away with the stuff he was saying about that linesman. Reminds me of when he did the same thing when we played them and said "I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't get a game again"

Bring him on with Cisse after about 65mins.

Our midfield will struggle against their 5 men. We always do.

Didn't expect O'Neil to turn them around this much. Derby is looking tasty now.

He was so loud on the touchline. Must piss off the opposition fans that sit near him.

yeah but he was basically guaranteed a start the last few games and has been lazy as fuck. now he isn't and it would be typical of him. Would also be typical of him to be shocking again though too. I hope he isn't needed again for the rest of the season personally.

Shola will probably play his best game of the season in this now that he has competition.

Just caught a summary of harry's evidence. Really annoyed me hearing what he was apparently saying. Stuff like; "I don't remember signing that, we were playing man united so i was probably more concerned about who was marking david beckham hehe" It's so obvious what he is doing and annoys the hell out of me that people lap it up cus he is a "cheeky chappy" oooo and he knows david beckham wow.

Yeh and we'll get that from Gabriel '16% Crossing Accuracy' Obertan. Nope but enter Mr.Ryan Taylor

Pards did say the reason we lost at Brighton was because there weren't enough "percentage balls" put into the box. So you know what that means.

Tiote still won't be back by the time cabaye is. Big period in our season i think. Hope the lads who fill in can do a job.
