playing attacking free flowing one touch football and alan ask them to stop and tighten up

Pardew'd

Southampton excel at tactical fouls.

Aye we are going to be back to having massive gaps between our lines which will lead to us being pinned back. Remy and Cisse are way too similar to play together unless we are shoving remy wide left.

Shola coming off because playing with 2 poachers works well.

Cisse coming on so we are limiting ourselves to 10 men.

I didn't think Tiote and Anita could play together but I've been way off the mark so far.

Anita bringing back memories of Beardo like

Hope not.

If Krul doesn't Hoof it williamson would. Don't forget Pardew is a cautious man.

Anita makes such a difference to our play.

And some on here believe he couldn't play as a central striker

Gouffffffffffff Fuck me we scored from a HOOF freekick.

We should fancy ourselves regardless of who they have in their line up tbh. It's Southampton FFS not Real Madrid.

Speed was a typical British midfielder 100% blood and thunder get up and down the pitch all day type. Saying speed had more footballing ability than Cabaye is just incorrect. I can't see Roma having the money to buy Cabaye as it would cost them in the region of 25 million euros. If De Rossi leaves I guess its a possibility but he seems he will follow Tottis lead and end his career at Roma

Hopefully Man United are as bad in the second half as they have been so far.

All you can hear him shout is "Keep it" Wish he'd fuck off, he's the biggest factor holding back the club IMHO.

by being solid in defense and midfield away to the champions? Champions who are currently beneath us in the league? Playing against a team reputation is such a stupid idea, anyone with an ounce of football knowledge can see this is the worse Manchester united team in a couple of decades.

I hate how commentators praise this lifeless performance of ours. We haven't offered anything in the way of an attacking threat so I fail to understand how we've played well so far.

Our mentality is so defensive. Really turgid stuff.

Losing to a piss pot poor Swansea team and playing atrocious football. I didn't think our form would last

I wouldn't do it, three seasons without the CL is a lot for someone who's played in it regularly. If we can get a fair price for him next summer then we can look to replace with a player that has the same mindset he had when he arrived. I think this is the best case scenario personally, given he has no ties to the club I can't expect loyalty. 3 years of service and a healthy profit is the best we can hope for. Sad really

Hope Cabaye doesn't get slagged too much when he leaves for a club with ambition

He's earning it atm to be fair. 5th place, cue the nose bleeds

He's bottled f*** all, man. He's made a choice and stuck with his club captain who has served him well and obviously still has a lot of faith in. Colo has been poor this season and Mbiwa is hitting form as was Anita before he found himself warming the bench. Pardew plays his favourites regardless of form.
