Written off in terms of can contribute? No
Written off in terms of can score 20 goals per season? Yes.
The vast majority of players in the league won't score 20 goals per season. Anyone thinking Riviere could do that is mental.
MYM should be our first choice. On par with Colo right now and the only defender we have that will likely improve.
Colo, Willo and Saylor are all getting worse and the 127 goals in two seasons conceded with mostly those 3 is pathetic.
Our main problem is Pardews inability to organise the defence, no matter who we have.
Would be nice to have some better quality than the shit we have though.
May have been able to do better for the first. No problem with him other then that. He also made some key saves to keep us in the game.
Anyone blaming him for the 2nd is crazy..considering Colo was blocking his view and he stupidly tried to get out of the way of the ball (well defended btw) and the ball took a deflection off of Colo.
Tactical mastermind:
Pardew: “I think when we score it will be from a penalty or a set play or maybe a shot from the edge of the area or a ricochet. Hopefully.”
