Just thought I'd do a list

Hatem always had such good passing as well. Been a really good watch so far.

I agree that would have been fine as well. The midfield were terrible today, we desperately need a central midfielder who can pass in January. The couple of times Wijnaldum tried to do a one-two and then go running off on a counter attack Anita and Tiote just screwed up simple passes.

Worryingly Pardewesque sub with Cisse there. Surely anyone who's seen Cisse play would know exactly what he gives you when the team is struggling to do anything with the ball. Offside, ballbouncing and stopping the counter attack. If we had put Thauvin on and kept Perez up top a little longer instead we might have ran at them a little bit at least. Perez isn't quick or strong enough to run through defences by himself down the wing.

I like Perez the most behind a striker, and if Gouffran is up-front its fine by me. He used to be able to score goals once in a while before he got leftbackpardewed. He is not a winger by any stretch but he was brought in as a backup striker if you ask me, and with Cisse out its either him or Riviere., Shouldn't be too much of a difference, hopefully he can make some runs to make space for the more gifted players like Perez/Cabella

Up there with classic Pardew matches such as the west brom 3-3, and the Wolves 2-2

Alnwick Janmaat - Colo - Dummett - Santon Tiote Sissoko Ben Arfa - Perez - Cabella (Derek Wright?) Hat trick for Ben Arfa, job done. Aarons, Papiss and De Jong will come back. Champions League beckons! Pardew out!

Gonna get raped, and he knows it!

I've run loads, just surprised they all got matching dirty-looking underwear.

You'd think footballers could afford boxers.
