Risk vs reward. Good luck scoring goals with sideways passes

He created a very good chance for Cisse in the first half and occupied defenders with some good hold play. We need a player who can link the midfield the attack as Pardew has been employing two midfielder who stay deep throw in our deep defensive line and it creates a gulf between midfield and attack

Don't think he was that bad today he linked the play well some nice one twos etc. He's clearly a link player who could probly play in the hole, to get the best out of him we need players moving in advance of him exploiting the space he's created

Pardew will take the credit for it claiming he threw the gauntlet down and Ben Arfa responded

bout fucking time.

He just needs some confidence lads, at least he's getting in the right positions.

Godsmacked by such non sense. I bet that Tweeter is a Pardew backer

What did you tell me mate?

Shola

How Hatem isn't the first name on the team sheet I'll never know.

Because they realise he's low on confidence and are trying to spur him on? Aye, cretins. Whilst lining Fat Mike's pockets

It started out with " we aren't creating any chances for him" now it's moved on to "he's getting into the right positions"

Mugs singing his name as well

Cisse is anguish

Don't you back Pardew though mate?

Getting torn a new one by palace

Solid teams ffs. We're playing Crystal Palace at home; not the Inter under Herrera.

Yup We manage to make Palace look dangerous

Yes we do. It's just sitting on the bench rotting away

He hasn't, his link up play is excellent and movement. Just not a goal threat. Yup his movement creates a lot of space especially when he drops off and palace get tight to him but no one moves into the space he vacates

We are so static the Lack of movement is a joke

Cisse and moussa need to start exploiting the space De Jong is creating for them

Decent effort but straight at the keeper

Might allow us to bring someone more creative on but who could possibly be creative on our bench? Hatem and Marveux Pardew won't allow that, at least wait with 10 minutes to go then make changes I'm sure the Pardew supporters can give you a valid reason as to why that is

Fixed
