Yeah O'Neil has done a fine job. His transfer policy may be another matter based on his history, but doing very well.

Should win, doesn't necessarily mean we will, typical stupid slip up

I said 8 and immediately thought maybe a bit optimistic

ahahaha on bbc feed "starting to think I exist inside Pardew's football manager save"

Pards said he was injured... Said he thought he'd be ok though...

Krul - 7 - Kept everything out, one hard save, everything else think was routine Simpson - 7 - Pretty good performance, didn't hoof too much, but did maybe back off too much at times Williamson - 8 - Another good game, never looked too much in danger even after getting the yellow Perchinho - 8 - Solid. Santon - 8 - Had a good game, hopefully can be more attacking against bolton Tiote - 5 - Thought he looked a bit lost, maybe picked up injury early on (Raylor - 3 - invisible) Gutierrez - 6 - Started badly but thought improved into second half when he started to retain ball better Cabaye - 8 - freed of some defensive duties meant wasn't as ever present as often, but 2 great assists, the reason we won (gosling - didn't see enough) HBA - 6 - First half wasn't doing much, second half improved and held the ball very well Ba - 5 - Hope he's not discoraged and is patient, lost form, wants to be in the middle Cisse - 9 - What can you say?

Good today, want to see more.

Best thing about his second goal is that if he'd missed a bit probably would have gone into the arms of williams and got him red carded or something lol

Cabaye again

Get in!

The problem for ben arfa is when he doesn't do something jaw dropping everyone says he's had a shit game, think he's been alright, not quite his day though.

French International though Who broke his leg. Much as Gosling had long-term injury. It takes time: game time. I'm not saying he's Ben Arfa cause he's not, but he's better than he's playing at the moment. Thats why i posted that he should go out on loan off him on loan him to everton

Ferguson's sub wasn't expected, well done Pards, shored up that side and we had more possession since. Excellent tactical change.

They're tired and getting sloppy

Ba's now looks a bit out of form. He'll be fine, needs a rest maybe, probably starting to lose some confidence though, hence misery.

CISSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Scary double sub imo.

Settling in better now, Ferguson sub was a goodun imo

They look more dangerous this half

terrible clearance

worst thing ben arfas done in a month

We have been very poor in possession, giving it away far too easily. Defending wellish though.

Disagree, they can easily nick one, need another.

Oddly would approve of Shola on for Ba at this point, just to hold it up more.

Just so frustrating how we give it away when we do have a chance. Poor, and williamson on a yellow is terrible
