Disappointed not to get the win. What planet does this man live on.

You have to create chances to win games Alan.

Why not play all 3?

                    Anita

            Cabaye  Moussa.

Our best midfield imo.

Pretty much the same as most home performances last year. We've seemingly learnt little and worked on nothing.

 

Thought people are being a bit harsh on Debuchy. Wins as many headers as I've ever seen a 'proper' full-back and gets so little cover from the midfield it's unreal. Yeah he got done for pace once or twice but didn't think it was a particularly bad performance.

Debuchy had a sold game for me.

Jarvis beat him a couple of times but that's to be expected imo.

So tired of the last minute hail marys.

We look like a team bereft of confidence to me.

If we do sign Gomis, it would have to be Gomis and Remy together. Cisse and Shola are just awful right now.

We aren't signing anyone.

Marv did ok for a guy who was basically benched all pre season.

Have we even had a shot on target?

Booing on the first home game of the season.

I think the tide is turning for Pardew.

FUCK OFF PARDEW

It's depressing, Southampton have Osvaldo and Ramirez on the bench,

I guess that explains why they are losing 

He has to be telling Sissoko to get up into the box as much as possible. Our lack of creativity stems from our lack of movement.

I think it's more down to a lack of natural width personally.

We haven't attacked the byline once everything comes inside and the game ends up being played in the width of the penalty area.

Sick of seeing us play them long balls from every set piece we get in our own half.

Especially when Cisse is the one attacking the first ball 

Baines and Fellaini in Evertons lineup. No heads turned there. Cabaye not playing just feels so unprofessional.

 

Someone needs to call the c*** out about this in the post-match press conference.

 

"So Alan, with Baines and Fellaini playing for Everton after they rejected bids and said they didn't want to sell them and actually seemed like they meant it, is Cabaye not playing just further proof that you're protecting him from injury to ensure you can sell him after hawking him round so blatantly all summer?"

you make it sound like he has a say in the matter rather than just being a victim of meddling from above

 

He possibly doesn't. But I'd still grill him. If he doesn't have a choice then he can quite easily say that. "No, it's Mike Ashley's decision. I'd love to keep Cabaye and have played him today.". Simple. Needs to grow some balls and start telling the truth or else be called out on his bullshit that he peddles.

and then he gets sacked. Would you do that in the same situation when trying to protect your job which you enjoy?

If i was going to get a fat pay off hell yes.

Bit worried Anita will be muscled out by a Big Sam side tbh

 

Yea i'm a bit worried about playing Anita as part of a central 2.

 

Central 3 yea, but central 2? :/

 

 

Me too. Possibly the least suited to 4-4-2 out of all of our players.

 

Not happy with the formation (or Ameobi), but pleasantly surprised to see Marveaux and HBA on the pitch together.

Given the actual players we have available a Brazilian box would make more sense.

                      Krul

Debucy  Colo  Yanga  Santon

            Moussa  Anita

            HBA        Marv

            Cisse      Gouff

Would actually suite our full backs to as they could bomb forward safe in the knowledge Anita & moussa are covering

So about 20 mins into the game will Pardew realise we need 3 in the midfield to compete and end up putting Cisse .........on the wing

This is what i fully expect as well.

It's all well and good Pardew naming a seemingly attacking team from the start, but as soon as the game unfolds he'll revert to type.

What has Cabaye done over the last 6 days? Has he been training?

 

On his own apparently.

Good Game NUFC. Good fucking game.

Club bids for player and we send player to train on his own.

 

Sorry was being Sarcastic.

 

I also don't buy this head turned nonsense.

 

 

Apologies. Sarcasm is hard enough to detect on a forum at the best of times. And there's not many of us would claim these are the best of times....!

I'm 100% with you mate.

The fact Cabaye isn't playing is a joke to be honest.

Head turned or not, If he goes out their and we see him doing fuck all and not being arsed at least we can then see it for ourselves.

What the hell had Gouffran done to be dropped?

Nothing but this is Pardiola we are talking about.

 

Can someone go and turn Cabaye's head the right f***ing way please?

 

 

Nothing wrong with his head. We just can't jeaopardise his sale that we're so obviously desperate to push through by playing him, in case he gets injured.

Surely if Arsenal were serious they would have increased their offer by now ?

 

They won comfortably midweek, and we have no intentions of replacing him. Both clubs will be happy to wait.

 

Yea but to be fair Fenerbache aren't as good as their reputation would suggest.

 

That being said though I think Arsenal fans have really blown their situation out of proportion

 

After the game against Villa it was a worry though. A fair few here wrote Arsenal off against Fener, the pressure was definitely there. It wasn't an easy trip at all.

I agree it wasn't easy given the speculation and pressure they were facing but if we look at the likes of Emre and Meirelles are way past their best imo.

I've no doubts he'll take the move shall it come along however what we do know is that Pardew dropped him from monday nights game. Hence we have no indication he's actually refused to play.

We don't know Pardew dropped him. For all we know Cabaye refused to play. Pardew said his "head wasn't right" to play. He may just have been "protecting" Cabaye.

 

Protecting him from what ? Playing badly i assume if his head is turned. Not a problem that, Cabaye played crap most of last season along with the rest of the team anyhoo

Protecting him from the criticism he's getting anyway?

Have we docked this c***'s a week's wages yet?

 

There is no indication that he's actually refused to play.

 

Why would we dock his wages?

 

Did I imply that? He didn't play Monday and is unlikely to play today due to his own reasons.

 

Anyway, bimpy474 has a fair point.

 

Why do you want to dock his wages then?

Maybe he is refusing to play and is on strike until he gets the move he wants? People can't defend him no more than people can accuse him. We don't know what's happened. Going by his performances last season I think it's safe to say he will be happy to leave.
