I'll second that

Definitely not a full back!!!

Was actually quite painful to watch, he really looked to be struggling.

Looking at the teams, we really should be able to control the midfield for large spells today. Even with Colback playing

i think that is the best we could have hoped for really.

I cant pick one type of player to put here, but loved watching Ronaldinho all through his career, so id say that type of player now, before him it was Ginola when playing for us and then before that Gascoigne and Ian Wright.

Not surprising really, I can't remember a bad game from him as part of a midfield 2. Not at all surprised, just thought id say it as his thread hadnt been bumped yet and he was a clear MOM for me.

great header, needs to strengthen his core so he doesnt bounce off so easy all the time though. Looks like he could become a very good player

Was a beast today, looked very good 2nd half in the deeper 2 in midfield

i keep logging on, hoping to see he has been sacked. Need something to cheer me up a little

No mbiwa at all is a very strange one.

Extremely excited about his one, get De Jong back in and we could see some very good stuff going forward. I wasn't very optimistic about this season , but all the signings look to have abit about them and some of the play today has made me abit brighter about it

I prefer him to tiote going off the little i have seen of him for us, wins the ball well, not as rash, has a better range of passing, a better shot and cross. Not as strong, but he was against 2 strong cms today and didnt get muscled out from what i saw.

Thought he did really well with hold the ball up and trying to bring others in when he had the support, but was extremely rash when shooting and crossing, Hopefully that was because it was his debut at home against the champions, a goal or 2 could change that.

Seeing him so far, i think he will do very well for us, works hard and is neat and tidy. Rarely gives it away, plus now and again will get a goal. Him, vurn and De Jong as a middle could be good to see.

A promising young player, i just hope we can develop the raw talent he clearly has into something useful for us. For once!!

Looks like this one could be a surprise to most, seems to have no fear and abit of talent to back it up. Hope can get him in a 2 up top and see how we do.

At fault for both goals in my option, not solely at fault but more at fault that anyone else i would say. Did well other than that, but being a fault for 2 goals turns a decent game into a poor one,

I normally hate pardews left back sub every game, but dummett is not good enough at all so far today. Can't see why haidara hasn't started

I've not read through the whole thread, so not sure if already mentioned. even though they had pretty much nothing going forward, i was impressed with Haidara. Did all he need to well and kept things neat and tidy and then also got in a few good crossing positions going forward, sometimes delivering a decent ball in.

looking at some vids and reading what some have said on here, it seems he will be similar to Bellamy (if i'd have to compare him to one of previous strikers). Might not score a hat full of goals, but will be effective in a few positions across the front line. Hopefully we can get a goal scorer in as well as him.

sent

im in

I been thinking or a while that Curtis Davies at cb next to Colo or Mbiwa would be a great partnership. Yesterday just made me think it even more.

Anyone else thinking the back four on the bench would make a better starting back line?
