Maybe thats because we are not playing him in the right position....... We are playing in a deep playmaker role in a 2 man midfield when all his life hes been furthest forward as a b2b mid in a 3 man midfield..... He's doing his best but we wont get the best out of him until we switch to a 3 man midfield IMO..... Luckily he's such a great player who is really the complete midfielder that he can play anyrole effectively.... It also has'nt helped that we havent played him with Tiote as much as we all wished, but make no mistake he's a great player and no way IMO he is overrated.

I dont think Man Utd genuinely want Clyne, more agents using their name to attract interest and get others to put a bid in.

Are people really complaining about lack of work rate and selflishness? I dont see the fans of Suarez, Aguero, RVP, Bale, Ibra, Messi, CR7, Robben etc etc complaining about selfishness and lack of work rate..... No because they make the difference for thier team and thier star players..... Just like Ben Arfa is for us, seriously some of the comments people make boggle the mind.

When you put it that way i probably would aswell lol.

Yh reckon we will see Perch and Guthrie in the middle tbh, unsure on Ben Arfa or Obertan tho.

I am game tbh.

Start cheering for Equitorial Guinea. I been doing that ever since Cabaye's appeal was refused

Awesome finds does anyone know if there is a Serie A and La Liga versions i just hope to god we aint all Barca and Madrid fans

He says some daft s**** about us, but that is just f***ing uncalled for, if I was a Villa fan i'd be seething at that, man Yh it was, but its true IMO sometimes the truth hurts Seriously tho, if i was a villa fan the pitch forks would be out.

Just went on BBC website, its as real as Shola is

It was never a penalty in a million years as far as iam concerned , as said before he's solid in defence majority of the team its just frustrating to see him in possession or going forward because he's very average at it indeed. Anyway i hope he stays, i dont think he's good enough first choice in the long term but like Obertan iam more than happy enough for him to be a squad member. Whether he accepts that or not remains to be seen.

f***ing hell, how mental does that seem? Especially when you compare it to the 3 points on Lawro's table

IN: Douglas, Clyne, Hoilett and a DM(not sure who) OUT: Lovenkrands, Smith, Ranger, Forster,Xisco and a clutch of youngsters. Dont know why i think we will keep hold of Ba, Tiote etc etc but i think we will

Real question is, what does he have against us lol? 19 points better off in the real table ffs 21 points above the relagation zone in the real table compared to 3 points on Lawrenson's table

What Hoilett did was disgusting and sums up what is wrong with modern football...... There should be a committee set up to review questionable dives after each round of matches and if they are found guilty they should be banned for 3 matches. Will make them think twice about it next time.

If we played this i would cry with excitement and joy and probably drool a bit aswell

Disgusting is what it was, dont want that sort of cheat near my club hope we dont go after him.

Krul Simpson Williamson Colo Santon Obertan Guthrie Perch Jonas Best Ba Cisse will come on at some point in the second half, btw the Obertan choice is not something i would do more something i think Pardew will do.

Absolutely awful performance, seriously how did we win that 2-0 ? Who cares we are up to 5th and Ba and Cisse back for next game and 3 of our next 4 games are at home HTL! Oh and Shola should never play again

Seriously tho we should have these, as much as missing Tiote, Cabaye, Ba and Cisse will hurt us thier team is dire at best and other than Hoilett they have no threat at all.. HTL!

Think we should switch to 4-3-1-2( that can switch into a 4-4-2/4-2-4) or 4-2-3-1 in the long term its what suits the players we have tbh...... In the 4-3-1-2 both Marveaux and Jonas atleast IMO can play in midfield as part of a trio with Cabaye and Tiote and because they are wingers can easily go outside wide to provide extra width should we need it. To fit these systems i would like to see a RB/LB, DM, CB and maybe a Winger so we dont have to play formations foreign to us because of injuries and suspensions.

He will start, Pardew learnt his lesson against QPR that with him the creativity significantly increases i highly doubt he will make that mistake again.......

Rather abeid in midifeld instead of Perch like Abeid has never started a premier league game. Yes i understand the want to play him, but i think perch could do a decent job. The three points for here and now are what's most important . Abeid will get his chance. Abeid started against them in the cup i personally would have no problems playing him tonight, Pardew is not me obviously but i dont see the problem with starting him.

Samba and Yakubu are out? I am confident again I'd like to see a midfield of Abeid-Guthrie-Vuckic with Best flanked by Jonas and Ben Arfa. Wont happen but id like to see it.
