Yes I would. Replace Debuchy with a good CB and I also would. Give the lad a chance ffs. We haven't even signed him and you're already calling for him to be replaced.

I disagree. In my opinion the way were were set up allowed and encouraged us to play a decent passing game.

Just happy the 'scrap 4-4-2' bit came true tbh

Good result and performance. Credit to Pardew for changing it up tonight Thought Marveaux looked really good and Anita is impressing too. I think he's much better in that role than in the Tiote role he has been pushed into. Imperative now that we don't go back to that rigid setup we have been playing this season.

Get in there Fergie lad.

Christ almighty Would you care to add anything or is 'LOL' and 'Christ Almighty' the full extent of your capabilities?

Never a penalty. I'd be fuming if that got given against us.

Nice from Marv

Looking good, so much better than recent performances. Santon's having a good game, nice to see him getting some crosses in.

Our most in form striker playing as a striker, it's literally mental. When putting one player in form (which is debatable anyway, how many in the last eight?) handicaps the rest of the team it is mental.

This hour is taking an age to go by.

It's very easy for a footballer to say all the right things because they have agents and all sorts who will say the wrong things on their behalf.

Fed up with this bollocks. Get in a decent striker who can play wide left.

I'm worried about Bimpy, she might have eaten him.

It was bloody stupid to start with. Now they need to get to work on that 'man of the match' copyright bollocks.

4am here but thankfully no work tomorrow (not that it usually stops me ). I'm swinging between a pessimistic 0-3 and a vaguely optimistic 2-1. Think they'll definitely get at least one so i'm hoping we attack them and try and impose ourselves a little. An early goal for us would be a bad thing I think as I can see us trying to shut up shop and defend it and against an open, free flowing side like Wigan and with our shambles of a defence right now I don't think we'd be able to.

What the fuck? I sincerely hope that isn't true because every bugger else has known for the last couple of years. That doesn't fill me with hope either. Maybe he's playing things down for the press to manage fans expectations of the window?

We've got 14 points from 14 games and we've had a relatively easy run of games. We're struggling after playing games which we needed to win and we're looking at games which our current form over the last 6 games is the 2nd worst in the league. We are about to face a series of games where we'll be lucky to come out of with anything like a reasonable goal difference never mind points total. Of our 14 games played we’ve faced Chelsea and Man U away, apart from that we should be able to expect to get something from the others. We’ve vastly under-performed so often that we have no right to expect anything positive from any team either at home or away. How Everton performed under Moyes at any time is irrelevant to our current position. Of the games we have played, ignoring Chelsea and Man Utd away we have also played 5,6,7,8,9 th placed teams. They didn`t get there by just picking up points off us. West Brom and Swansea are both playing way above what we are used to them playing. Both of them have won bigger games than us. Your talking like all we needed to do was turn up because we are Newcastle and Pardew has made sure we lost. 2 games I think we would have won we ended up with 10 men. Out of all of the games this season West Ham and Southampton were disappointments. So have those teams overtaken us now? Their squads don't seem any better than ours so why are we consistently losing to them? I really don`t know the answer to that other than games are not played on paper ? The same reason Arsenal lost to Swansea or Chelsea lost to West Brom or Man City only getting a draw at home to Everton. There are too many varibles to place all the blame on Pardews Tactics. West Broms sqaud do not look like a 5th place team and Arsenals squad do not look like a tenth place team. Is Wengers tactics to blame, should he get sacked ? There are plenty of Arsenal fans who are saying so. City and Chelsea having a blip can't seriously be compared to losing 4 games in a row against some of the supposed weaker teams in the division. West Brom, Swansea, West Ham, Norwich. Four teams with squads weaker than ours who are outperforming us at the current time. Could it be our bad form this season has coincided with these so called weaker squads having a good run of form. Swansea beating Arsenal shortly after beating us. West Ham beat Chelsea shortly after beating us. West Brom have had a good season anyway. Possibly but we're 15 games into the season now, things are generally shaping up by this point. Swansea and West Brom have had good seasons and they've been playing good football along with it. Norwich are scrapping out results for the most part and getting draws instead of what should be defeats and West Ham are based on a fairly solid defence. We've played 14 games so far and I can't remember many good ones, if any. Maybe 90 minutes of decent football in 14 games, that's not bad form in my opinion, thats something else.
