Away games are nowhere near as good as they were 5-10 years ago. Now just full of pissed up radgies who are more concerned about getting mortal than backing the lads.
In fact he doesn't even have to play on the left. Just tell them to play as a 3 and do whatever the fuck they want. They're all good enough players to do it.
Utterly horrific once again. Pardews insistence on playing 442 because he doesn't have the bottle to tell Ba to play on the left of a three or fuck off is infuriating.
It's sad when you want a 50-50 decision to go against you because there's more chance of them rolling it back to the keeper and him falling on his arse, than there is of us actually scoring from it.
I'd start Curtis Good. I know it's a tough game to throw him in, but we simply cannot afford even a niggle to Williamson ahead of the West Ham game. We're missing enough players as it is: Tiote, Cabaye, Perch, Colo and possibly/probably Ba.
I'd be much more confident in us being successful in operation Anfield exercise if Tiote was playing, despite the fact he's been a liability this season.
