Are we fighting agains relegation because Vurnon Anita isn't physical enough? No, move on. No we are fighting relegation clearly because we don't have enough strong players like jonas that dont get brushed off the ball like. Lol

Lets talk vengeance , salesman Pardew have got all players talking about revenge on mackems and such today, very engaging stuff.

We need to sign more Jonas type players for him clearly.

Some here clearly still stuck n the dark ages like Pardew lol 'We need them tackles!'

What the f*** do you expect when the blokes 6'4", a great header of the ball and his physicality scares the s*** out of defenders. Worth £10m all day long imo, but he'd have to take a pay cut to come back here. Yeah, but I think there's a limit to how good a player he can become and therefore what level of football he can play. He's not good enough for Liverpool but good enough for West Ham and us at the present moment. The question is - is he good enough for where we're aiming? He'd be a useful member of any squad, but I wouldn't want to build our team around him. It's not that he isn't good enough for Liverpool, its he doesn't fit into what they want to do. If it was about just being good enough they wouldn't have loaned him in the first place, they are trying to have a team which is built around Suarez and he doesn't fit into that. Think he would add another dimension to their game, it's all nice playing a passing game but they will have to mix it up at some point. Not sure what Rodgers is playing at, but I think it's not just the playing side that he sees Carroll not fitting in. Those late night outings and lack of full commitment to fitness may have more to do with it.

Don't mention the spies man for fuck sake

Speaking of arsenal is our central midfielders that far from theirs? Our defenders a lot worse than theirs? Giroud that much better than Cisse? They should clearly be above us they have a better team but how are they so far away from us in the league? Wenger is suppose to be the press whipping boy as well, apparently he is a s*** manager according to them . Selling everyone left right and centre, signing turds .

Pardew will be scared shitless if he had to field those players

its very desperate stuff from Pardew.

lol its crazy, just what is he selling now.

latest from the salesman Pardew. "Next year we have to prove that we're a bigger and better club," he told the Newcastle Chronicle. "That's in terms of our Premier League position by finishing well above them (Sunderland). That's what we are going to try to do next year." But despite his long-term ambitions, Pardew admits that Newcastle are not out of the woods yet in this season's relegation battle, with his side five points clear of the drop zone. "First we've got to make sure we play well in the last five games with good, solid performances," he added. The former Southampton manager had previously blamed European duties for their lacklustre performance at the weekend. But now with a clear schedule, Pardew is looking forward to integrating the likes of Hatem Ben Arfa, Mathieu Debuchy and Cheikh Tiote back into full training. "We certainly can do a week's work with Hatem and Debuchy, who had his first game (since being injured), and Cheikh," he said. "We'll do more work with him. We'll give a rest to some of the other guys." http://www.sportal.co.nz/football-news-display/pardew-wants-bigger-and-better-230934

yes!

if he is suppose to out for the entirety of next season, could this injury even retire him? sounds extremely serious.

Still like him, if we can get him back for pittance i say deal. he's more than a target man.

would that not possibly mean tiote getting far too much possession ? He needs to win it and then give it; look what's in-front of him! i was more thinking of when we play the ball out from the back 4. that central pivot gets more of the ball and that would be tiote, if not it drags cabaye basically back into the position he has been the last few weeks. Well, considering that we've got 2 good footballing CBs at the club (or at least one from next season), you should expect them to be able to carry the ball and look for options ahead of them. Tiote covering. easy said but look at most teams, they play it to that central pivot in the hope it drags a player in and creates space in behind. also it means we have tiote in there purely to win it and give it, nothing else ? but of a waste of a space on the team sheet imo. Look at Mascherano when he was at Liverpool, Busquets now at Barcelona. Winning the ball, breaking up play and keeping it simple with a pass is their job. And it's very effective. We have players ahead of Tiote who are capable of hurting teams and it's exactly what we should be doing. I think tiote can do that, technically, but he just needs to sort the mental side of his game out.

Tiote can bring the ball out of defence he just doesnt know when to pass the ball, get rid, or no one around to pass to. the way our team play doesnt help. lest not make out jose's chelsea played like barca, they werent exactly past and move team.

whats the matter ronnie still upset from earlier? yes because one man will make chelsea

Did the same thing at madrid before he went to chelsea. Won almost everything.

Like it or not , this physical league has nothing to do with it, the way Pardew sets his team out Anita would struggle even in Eredivisie.

Me too, but I know what people mean about a player who could make more instant impact and be more physical etc. I think Anita may still come good though, at the end of the day he's a classy player. You've pretty much described Sissoko there yet three months down the line, he looks utterly ordinary. Pardew hasn't got the best out of a single player this season so I don't know why Anita should be any different, only he also has the excuse, unlike most, of never having played in this country before. Last thing we should be doing is criticizing individuals under this nugget, especially central midfielders, brought in under false pretences, told they'll play a passing game then when they get here told to chip it into Cisse and cross their fingers. sad thing about this bit is, do they even practice this in training, if they do, the fact is its executed so badly during games tells us the players really does not want to do it for this manager. At least not anymore.

set penises could have done with raylor to be fair.

Agree. Could imagine him flourishing in a setup like Swansea. Agreed Anita should be our Britton, Cabaye should be our Allen and Sissoko should be our Sigurdsson. Unfortunately this is not possible under Pardew. This very much so.

I think so too, just because the boy dont fit in the current system he gets made to look bad on rare occasions that he gets.

Retard think before you speak lol who signed these players? It's the third time you've called me that recently, is it not? Take it to PM next time on the off chance there's someone offended by it. Doubtful, like, given it's unlikely someone will take you and your mangled English seriously. you certainly do as youve taken special notes on every time i called you a name haha

I f***ing wish we hadn't gone anywhere near Anita. Pardew wanted Adam adam Lallana fwiw. We could certainly have done with him. because you'd believe what pardew tells you what he wanted.
