duo

Tactics lost us the match as much as anything - we allowed them to dominate us - we had no midfield. Pardew also has this habit of constantly playing players out of position. Cabaye - too deep - we need him to play further up Jonas - left back was just madness, Ben Arfa out wide - wasted - he is NOT a winger - the lad should be pulling the strings in the centre of the park Marveaux out wide - again wasted - he is NOT a winger Tiote - should be the only holding player - and playing it simple I just could go one. We've been playing poor for a year now, results last year just masked over the cracks. With the quality we have in the squad now we should be comfortably turning over teams such as Sunderland. But tactically Pardew is utterly clueless. Doesn't play to our strengths.

Never wanted Wigan to go down before....but Come on Villa !!!

Worst ref ever

He's not seen that. Looking forward to the FA doing the c***. Doesn't help us though. Feel so sorry for the kid. The FA have never ever done anyone for a bad tackle and won't start now. That's not a bad tackle...its assault.

He should be banned from refering another game after that decision. Disgusting...the lads career could be over before its began

Still amazed he didn't get booked yesterday - lost count the number of fouls he gave away.

Remember thinking at the time it's stupid idea playing someone who is coming back from a hamstring injury on a fake pitch. Whether he would have still needed an operation is anyones guess but it cannot of helped. I think the club as a collective need to analyse that decision. As for selling him... I'm still pinching myself that he plays for Newcastle - the lad has not even hit his prime yet. He's just been unlucky.

Still not committing long term.... Come on Ashley give this lad new contract.

I think we can only really judge him this season once Ba left. Up until that point he played many games out wide in a position he was unfamiliar with and clearly uncomfortable with. The lack of goals as a result is clearly on his mind as he seems to be snapping at his chances. But he is still creating chances and I am convinced the goals with start flying in before the season is out.

It was both their faults - they were too far apart and Taylor played too high up - perfect for Bale to run inbetween.

We missed him badly - the lad has a great work rate. Just pray it's not break.

Shola should have buried that.

Don't remember seeing a stronger bench. Be even better when Benny comes back.

lol

Anyone see Cabaye nearly take Kruls block off during the warm up? Krul respond with the V's - was funny.

What a great game. Had everything. Cabaye since he's been back from injury has been phenomenal. We've missed him.

Yep - up until that point it was Sissoko destruction of Cole but that block at the end by Taylor was outstanding.

Am still buzzing. WHAT A PLAYER !!! Got speed to burn, comfortable on the ball, can pick a pass, can tackle and can finish. I knew he was good but NOT this good. Utter quality.

got it in one

Can't see it being that if QPR have activated it. Why not ? Fernandes is reputed to be worth over $400 million, and he is bankrolling the club. We have a multi billionaire owner, means nothing tbh No we don't, Ashley at most is worth £200m He's worth slightly more than that... http://www.forbes.com/profile/michael-ashley/

hurt the bone? what does that mean?

I think he was planning on playing him in Midfield and just moved him up field when Marv got injured. He loves the player. But the team is carrying him - adds nothing.
