Deuce

Handles in the box (unintentionally), puts on a show like a 10-year old to plead his case, immediately follows it up by bludgeoning Aguero about the head. Couldn't script those 20 seconds better.

Love to get McCarthy here.

Krul. But yeah.

The bar will never be set lower for him coming into a match.

What's wrong with Gouffran? i thought he played all right until we took him off. At least he can link play. has good movement and not be pushed off the ball with the slightest bit of contact If we had anyone else capable of playing LW, I'd drop Cisse for Gouffran up top. It's clear he won't get service and Gouffran is better at dropping to pick up the ball.

Taking Tiote, Jonas and Taylor out the team should improve us straight away but you never know i suppose. Pardew will still do his best to prevent our best XI taking the field.

Bollocks, like. There were worse performances towards the end of last season. One of them was even Debuchy himself. I was on holiday during the Liverpool and Sunderland debacles tbf. You picked a great time to holiday.

That's what it *should* be.

Nothing to do with having no experience of the Premier League? Give over, man. Nothing personal, you seem like a very decent chap but you just don't understand the difference between English football and whatever laid-back crap you've been brought up on. Another weak as piss argument. You're full of them today. Explain then, in all your infinite English wisdom, how MYM hasn't looked nearly as poor to that extent while playing fullback, despite having fewer PL games under his belt than Debuchy? Or, why our seasoned English defender of 230+ appearances in English football looked even worse than our French RB until he was mercifully sent-off. Seems to me he doesn't understand English football either. MYM's just a far better defender than Debuchy, but he's also struggled with English football in his first 6 months. Certainly never looked anything like a captain of a title winning side in the middle of the defence. He has the time and the talent to adapt. And Taylor looked worse than Debuchy before being sent off? Have a word. Debuchy's been a liability since January. MYM also has 110 fewer top-flight appearances than Debuchy. It takes young defenders from any league time to adjust. If he were Debuchy's age, he'd have slid into the squad with far more ease. Taylor was abysmal. He's only saved by the fact that he wasn't allowed to play the second half and Debuchy was.

Newcastle- nline is back

Come off it, it's a lazy argument. Debuchy had a nightmare performance because of Mathieu Debuchy, not because of his nationality. He was lazy, disinterested, and clumsy, which has nothing to do with being French or playing in Ligue 1.

I was just taking the piss.

I think you may have misunderstood what i was saying Nah man, it wasn't in response to your post.

Nationality has zero relevance to this discussion.

Ban this sick filth. For the thread, not the sentiment.

Anyone who hounds you for that is a retard.

'French' is a race now?

He had a decent debut, but let's not get carried away. Santon's still better at LB and not very good at RB.

The modern fullback then. Absolute fucking bullshit. Just take it easy Dr. Banner.

Yeah he plays in the Championship mate.

The modern fullback then.

Dozed off for the last 5 minutes.

Do you think we can get Tulisa's ex-boyfriend back?
