It "opens-up the whole pitch", according to Pardew.
Still don't see it.
The pitch doesn't need opening up, it's not a f***ing tin of beans.
We need supply to our strikers, and they're not getting it under the current 'formation' because 3/4 of our wide players are on the wrong side of the pitch and the other one is incompetent when presented with a football.
made me giggle that.
Agree about supply btw, it's the crucial factor here, Santon cutting in and then not really making his mind up what to do isn't helping this problem. Still think he's the least of our worries btw.
