Revolution Number 9

Liking his play more and more Puts the effort in and he's a better technical striker than we give him credit for I think.

he's the founding member of Shola's fitness club. Stay unfit your entire life for £13 a month.

That would be fine if Raylor had properly f***ed it up in the games he's played so far. He hadn't really; is just really poor at it. Santon in next week. We can stop the bickering It's been pure luck that he hasn't though, surely that's plain enough.

Look, I could understand your reasoning if we actually had a left back to play instead, but we don't, it's him or shoehorning in a shit out of position stand in and surely for that reason alone he absolutely has to play as soon as he can.

Enrique knows the league. Santon doesn't. Simple. Good job Agüero read those Rothmans before his transfer. Started from the bench mate. Difference being he actually got to come onto the pitch.

I thought he wasn't too bad tbh.

Raylor is a huge liability. He was awful. Why not give the natural left back, who also happens to be very talented, a shot? Just give over - you don't have a point. At all. I remember when Man Utd signed a superior highly-talented left-back, and he was torn apart by Sinclair (probably a similar standard then, to SWP now?) and was brought off half-time. Less of a risk playing a (somewhat) unknown quantity than playing a left back who you know is shit and is being targeted though isn't it.

Seeing as he was bypassed by our long ball tactics it's hardly a surprise. We can't expect him to have cracking games every week if we aren't going to play to his strengths.

Did someone forget to tell QPR? Completely missed the point there. They're the home team, new owner, newly promoted, new team... Why should that make us resort to Stoke tactics though? Especially considering a whole none of the signings we brought in this summer are suited to said tactics meaning playing that way could be seen as actively handicapping ourselves. Pardew himself has said we weren't good tonight. Do you think that's how he set us out to play? Sometimes though you have to adapt and with SWP & Taarabt running us ragged you can't always play the way you want. He could have fooled me if it wasn't how we were set up to play. Also, their winger and playmaker having good game = we can't try to pass, lets hoof it? That seems to be your point? I'm saying on a night where their main two threats were better than Jonas & Cabaye, I can't blame us for being more direct. So we should revert to Stoke whenever someone has a good game against us then? When key players like Jonas & Tiote are playing poorly, two key factors to what would be our best style of play, what would you suggest? For starters, no Shola, instead put a man (Marveaux or Sammy perhaps?) in the hole with one up front. Have that man drop just a little bit deeper, thus giving Tiote and Cabaye more options when on the ball, hopefully freeing up some of the pressure on them and letting them play a bit more whilst also providing somewhat of a link between the midfield and the box. As for Jonas, I think most of his problems could have been solved simply by playing our new supposedly competent left back, in the hope that some of the defensive pressure on Jonas will be lifted and giving him a reasonably effective option with regards to link up play (which is IMO how he was most effective last season, when he was linking up with Jose). Just my tuppence like.

That's one way of looking at it.

Every game should be the sort of game to play free flowing football with the kind of players we have.

Are you happy with that performance and style of play? Nope, but I can see why we played like that. I think less resilient sides would have lost. Are you suggesting our gameplan was to play that s*** and keep giving the ball away? Are you suggesting that it is Pardew's fault that the players kept giving the ball away? When it's players like Ryan Taylor and Shola Ameobi, yes. What about the other 9? I think their performances could very well have improved considerably if the aforementioned two weren't on the pitch.

Ever considered supporting Stoke City? What's that got to do with it? Because if results are the ONLY thing that matters to you, they might suit you better. Why go to the game, or watch on TV when you can just look on Teletext? If you can't see why we'd perform like that when QPR are on a buzz after promotion and half a new team out, I'm baffled. So whenever we play a team that's 'on a buzz' we should just give up on football before we even start and revert to Stoke City MKII?

Are you happy with that performance and style of play? Nope, but I can see why we played like that. I think less resilient sides would have lost. It had nothing to do with resilience really though did it, it was pure luck and their shit finishing. People just want to see some proper bloody football being played after we brought in all the signings to do it. That's all. If we wanted long balls and spoiler tactics we could have just kept Allardyce.

Are you happy with that performance and style of play?

Just to clarify Newcastle Fan, you were watching that match just there aye?

You can, and you should. What more could we have done in these last four games like? Win them all? He could pick our best players in each position and he could do something about us hoofing the ball up every time we get it. This, basically.

Our success literally hinges completely on him.

Disgusting style of play. It better not continue.

So who was it that said he shouldn't play? Lets all chip in and buy them some common sense.
