Same but we need to cut out the hoof and defensive mentality that goes with it. All goes hand in hand tbh and its my biggest worry, buying players and having fit stars again is fine and dandy but whats the point if Pardew keeps using these abject tactics.

Tiote's actually has more bad games than good at this club and has got away with it for far too long because he tends to do well in the televised games against the big teams. I'd sell him in a second. I'm not convinced players coming back and signings being made will fix this mess either Pardew will just limit them like he limits everyone else.

Yeah, we was shit but quite frankly the main reason we didn't get anything was the ref.... Don't usually say that but Atkinson was a f*cking joke.

Agreed.

Sums up the game tbh.

To be fair, Everton could easily have scored 5 goals in the first half. No they couldn't.

Not just that but i'm convinced we should have had a pen....

Yet if the ref was doing his job we would be winning.....

That's frightening! Can't see our subs impacting on the game at all. Bigi for Shola, Cisse central in a 4-3-3. Would make a decent impact imo. Honestly what i would have done.

This season has shown its Cabaye he is the glue that holds us together and the brains that direct us..... But from the players available id say its Marveaux or Colo.

Aye i'm not going to get angry just yet, but i will do if he plays Cisse on the wing in our next game

The Looney Toon ‏@The_Looney_Toon Reason cisse is starting out wide is because that was the original game plan which included ba . Cisse to start up top in next games Hope he's f*cking right hasn't steered me wrong so far but twitter is twitter.

Didn't think about that, if Shola starts the next game though

Blatantly going to lose now.

Pardew :facepalm: :facepalm:

Yeah, on the bench.

My biggest concern tbh, Fellaini as good as he is IMO is easier to stop than Baines and Pienaar.

Blatantly Vince McMahon to renew his interest in buying the club. Cena will replace Ba.

Thought you was including replacing Carroll in that my bad.

Hope so, but we have been burnt too often before to actually be confident about anything. Tbf, since Carroll left, when we've sold someone they've been replaced. Yes but it took us 6 months to do so Ba has to be replaced in this window. We can't be waiting till the summer ( again)

Depends who we get in and how Pardew sets up the side in the foreseeable future but potentially he could be right.

Don't think Ba is the problem, rather the people he surrounds himself with. So he is the problem, then? I don't blame him tbh, he has been ill-advised and is easily influenced..... i wouldn't mind signing a character like Ba again as long as he's not represented by the sort of c*nts Ba is represented by.

Don't think Ba is the problem, rather the people he surrounds himself with.

Oh ffs piss off.

That is the current situation though It's pointless looking to the future when it's massively uncertain for a number of reasons. His current situation is the same as any other starting striker in world football, though. If he doesn't score the team will fail. I'm pretty certain he's a good enough player to not find himself permanently stuck in horrendous form. The key difference is other teams have a few players who can score. We currently only have Cisse who can regularly score and after that it's Ben Arfa who is out for another month. xx We have scored 6 goals in our last 2 games with Ba getting 2 of them.... when we actually pass the ball and create while playing a system that suits us we score goals. Don't think we will struggle to score if we persist with the system and style of play we have used in recent weeks. Problem for most of the season has been the style and system has been so rigid so very few got into goalscoring positions and now they are....
