Dont exactly see a lot of goals with Pardews footy like.

No coincidence at all that we became shockingly impotent in front of goal as soon as Ba left. He was a striker that made something out of nothing, and it papered over many a crack, including Pardew's asshole.

Our squad is crying out for a straight up and honest 433, and he's too much of a pussy to play it. It's the only way he might have a chance to salvage his career here.

Did well enough. Only got done by Jarvis because he was standing square on to prevent Jarvis cutting in onto his stronger foot. When Jarvis opted to go down the line he could only pop the ball up, couldn't cross it with any pace. Wasn't Debuchey's fault the other 3 made a meal of floatied cross travelling at about 12mph.

This

He clearly hasn't got everything, least of all pace. But he was intelligent in those 1v1's.

Not seen anything of the game, but it sounds like more the same. Which considering we have the same manager, same players and same tactics is certainly a surprise.

Good thing you didn't watch that. If you'd seen Shola barge over a WH defender while Cisse has just won the header you;d have gouged your eyes out.

Sick of the sight of Gerard's w*** attempts at hollywood balls. So 2001

Dat away kit

Seriously suggesting that we should play Sammy ahead of Gouffran?

on the left side of a 433 yes. He has a lot more pace and can beat a man. Gouffran is a central striker imo.

4 consecutive PL games at SJP without a goal. Is that a record?

I believe it is. Someone mentioned it earlier.

Our worst football came under Fat Sam. Simple as that.

Nope. This is the worst I've seen us play. At the time of Big Sam we had a team of prima donna mercenaries. We finished 5th with a blistering end to the season before last with a very good style of play that has never been seen since.

Sammy was pretty good when he came on.

Wish we would revert back to the pure 433.

Sammy      Cisse        HBA

              Marveaux

      Anita              Sissoko

Until Remy returns from injury

Hopefully this was a good start to a lengthy spell in the starting line up. Such a tidy and uncomplicated little player. Exactly what we need in midfield. Play him in a 3 with Sissoko and an advanced Cabaye would have been the way forward this season.

 

Cabaye's no advanced midfielder.

I prefer Marveaux there, but seeing as Cabaye is (was) one of our purples, playing him in the advanced role would have made a lot more sense than playing him deep with Tiote and Sissoko ahead of them.

Looked like they'd never met before, again. Picked a team at home to neutralise West Ham. What's left to say?

I disagree tbh. I hate Pardew and his "football" more than the next guy, but to be fair, the 442 was to attack WH and give us some balance rather than to neutralize them. IMO.

 

Santon : Got 90 minutes, played ok 6

 

 

 

He made some excellent headed clearances in the box late on.

Much more solid defensively today. Tried to get forward a lot but was largely ignored. When he wasn't, he never received the right ball that would open up the space in front of him (see his goal in preseason). Hopefully this will come with time.

According the the beeb we were lucky to get a point, didn't watch it so don't know:

 

"Newcastle, who were awful, pick up their first point of the season. The Hammers remain unbeaten but will feel they deserved more."

They were at least as bad as we were. Not as much daylight as that tripe suggests.

Wasn't an easy chance for Gouffran at all that like, an unpredictable bounce off the post like that requires almost f***ing bullet-time reactions to guide it precisely. Could've went anywhere.

This. Gouffran is the last person i'm blaming for this.

0 shots on target in 91 minutes at home. fuck off

If Ravel does some damage do not f***ing give me s***.

 

If you'd have kept your trap shut maybe no one would have. But you can't resist the goading man such a WUM.

 

I've goaded once in three years on this forum like, after we beat Newcastle in a thriller. I actually never give anyone s*** like. Not even wumming I'd like to see Newcastle win this.

Nah you're alright

Pardew get fucked you mackem cunt

Much better from Debuchy today.

Truly unbearbale ... the worst manager in the league.

By a country mile.

Right. Fuck off you cockney cunt. Unacceptable. Marveaux is in my FF team ffs 

This sub will define Pardew

Two number 9s = no link between midfield and strikers. I don't know why Pardew keeps making the same mistake.

 

We're getting into some decent situations, but then snatching at them.

Seriously?
