One of them actually said O'Shite is better than Coloccini...?! Deary me.

You know Ben Arfa will get shit for losing the ball, but how many times did he have a genuine option to back him up? Pretty disgraceful showing after half time, thoroughly deserved to drop points playing like that! Gutted.

Up against the powerhouse that is Stephen Ward, surely Ben Arfa is the logical choice...?

I fully expect Ben Arfa to be replaced on the bench by a Sports Direct sign before too long

With the amount of times Obertan lost the ball or wasted possession yesterday, it just doesn't make sense for Pardew to say he's not playing Ben Arfa because of his ball retention!

Has Jonas right and Ben Arfa left been tried yet? Can't remember it being used like.

That fucking Spurs chant, shut the fuck up man

Obertan and Simpson auditioning for the fucking Chuckle Brothers or what?

That thread is amazing!

Amazing haha! What program(s) are you using to make these?

If he gets off with it I'd love to hear how that's the case!

Very disappointed with him last night, he just needs to learn when to use the ball. That said, I did think a couple of times people gave him the ball in awful positions hoping he was going to weave his way between players, so it was inevitable he was going to lose it at times. I do think with a longer run in the team we will really see the best of him, but I just can't see where he fits into Pardew's philosophy, especially now Cisse has been brought in to inevitably partner Ba!

The only reason he's still in the team seems to be the fact Pardew likes him defending set pieces. Its been such a long time since I remember being able to say "Shola played his heart out today", he just never looks fucking interested. It was embarrassing that he played a full game yesterday, but hopefully with Ba and Cisse back we won't have to suffer him for more than 10-15 minutes at the end of a game in the future.

We managed to win that match? Surely not?

Shola nearly cost us a goal then, how can he not be taken off, it's a fucking outrage

Ameobi has to come off, been an absolute disgrace to the shirt tonight

The frequency we get caught offside is embarrassing

Any benefit in playing something like: Krul Simpson Williamson King Colo Santon Guthrie Jonas Obertan Big Ben Best Strolla Slightly apprehensive at Best being played wide left, but I thought Jonas played really well in the centre the other week so he could potentially move out wide and allow Best to run off Strolla when he can be bothered to move/win a header/not fall over/stay onside

Playing a stupidly high line makes the game much harder for Williamson, he doesn't have the pace to get back and his composure doesn't seem the best. People saying that Perch is better than ANYONE in our squad is laughable.

I thought Elia looked class in the last world cup but haven't really followed him since he went to Juve; for the right price surely the move would be a no brainer and add some welcome depth? That said, a centre back has to be our priority regardless!

Did Ben Arfa not pass the ball to Guthrie for his goal?! I swear he did, yet he's not been credited with an assist online!

3 times in a row now Stroller hasn't won the ball up top and they've taken it and gone straight through on goal, wake the fuck up Pardew man.

Whoever said this was our best away performance in a decade should probably retract that statement now...

We're not retaining possession up front at all this half, a change of some sort is almost certainly needed
