Agreed, that would have been a good performance for Butt or Smith

Played well, has one hell of a shot on him BUT does not appear to be suited to a central midfield slot, needs to play higher up the pitch

It seems like Obertan was his own signing so dropping him would probably be seen as an admission that he bought a shit player

We need about 3 players BUT I think we will only sign 1, a centre back

Agreed, though that is not saying much Would kill for Robert and Nobby on the wings :love:

It is obvious the side he will pick, which if we were winning/playing well you could understand BUT we are struggling so things need to be changed This is the side we will see (maybe Santon for Raylor) Krul Simpson--Perch--Colo--Raylor Oberturd--Cabaye--Tiote--Jonas Bes--Ba Perch and Krul (when he doesn't slice it out for a throw in or straight to their midfielders) will keep lumping it towards Best BUT Knight will win the aerial battle all day long. Obertan whenever he gets the ball will run towards Robinson, do 10 step overs and then have his cross blocked. Pardew will then bring on Ben Arfa with 20-30 mins to go, expect him to win the game all by himself, when he fails to do that he will talk about him needing to step up a level even though he is being kept out of the side by a guy who does not even have a level, never mind stepping up. Oh and he will bring on Shola with 15 mins to go, who will then proceed to fall over numerous times and fail to control the most basic of passes [/rant over]

Needs to stop being stubborn and drop Obertan asap

Aye, such a s*** crosser, just floats them in which get gobbled up by the defenders/keepers most of the time. If they do manage to get to one of our players then they struggle to do much with it because it lacks any pace santon done a fair bit of that tonight. i'll check his thread and see if he's getting the same reaction. harsh i know but true. Don't recall Santon putting any crosses in In any case the comparison is hardly fair considering Santon has hardly played for us whilst Simpson has played almost a 100 games and in that time his crossing has been mostly shite

Was poor tonight BUT he was poor at the start of the season before the class performances followed LOL at the doilems saying we should sell him, that too for £15mill

Needs to start the next match, did more in 30 mins than Jonertan have in the last 2 matches combined He did lose the ball badly in the middle once today BUT the rest of the players lost the ball time and time again so not fair to just highlight his error

Obertan was always going to start Hope Vuckic plays well and HBA gets some decent game time

Obertan score?

The free kick after a couple of mins was close, also the one where Colo headed onto the post was canny BUT other than that it was poor, failed to beat the first man far too often on corners

I would go with the following, never gonna happen though Krul Simpson Williamson Coloccini Santon Jonas Tiote Abeid Hatem Best Ba

Did well, needs to stop the long balls cos they were poor

A must win The team that will be picked is kinda obvious, only question mark is who will play alongside Tiote

Very good. Defensively was solid, got tight to Routledge and kept him quiet. Also going forward he was excellent

Awesome. The bit of skill when he was near the corner was quality

Thought he was very average yet again. He needs to be dropped BUT clearly Pardew is fond of him so that won't happen any time soon

Should have been Ben Arfa instead of Obertan. Happy enough with the rest of the side

fair play to SAFC for resisting the urge to put 'FTM' on it. Must have taken some doing. or 'EDL' and 'Brucey MON ONE OF US'

No way dont, its an airport that happens to be in the newcastle area. f***ing hell, i dont know a single mag who thinks the airport belongs to NUFC fans. MASSIVE f***ing CHIP ON THE SHOULDER HALF A HEED c***s DOOON THE ROAD MONGS can't believe anyone could have that mackem's point of view. a sign begging people just to notice sunderland - in another city's massive international airport - and they think its some victory. what the hell is wrong with them? Apparently seeing that sign will put nufc fans in a right mood before they go on holiday http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showpost.php?p=11408793&postcount=65

They really are small time and obsessed with us, this banner just further highlights that

I like the guy, think he is sound BUT he is an average player. We can and should get better. Preferably someone who can control a ball and offers a decent threat going forward
