With a smile on his face to boot. The cunt just doesn't get it.

Yup. Am I the only one who expects him to get a new contract at some point in the future?

Give over, you've seen the other teams in this league man.

Not sure we will be in relegation trouble but it is obvious we need a goalscorer and a dominant defender. Pardew basically said nee-one else will be signing so a tricky few months lie ahead. We won't be in relegation trouble for me. The amount of dross in this league will see to that.

He used to praise Hatem too.

Had Taylor done that they'd the pitchforks would sharpened before the ball hit the back of the net. It's another wtf moment from our supposed leading cb. We desperately need a top class cb brought in, we can't afford to go in to the season with these 4. Mike f***ing Williamson is our best bet ATM, it's a tragedy. Travesty that we shipped as many goals as we did last season and didn't bother to improve the heart of the defense.

Hart didn't have a save to make. Some threat that. Against a team for the most part looked half fit and half arsed. Great stuff Shut your deluded geordie mouth Roger. We gave it our all today and deserved the 3 points

He isn't a "good" all rounder.

I'd rather see him play instead useless Gouffran tbh. rather see Ayoze personally.

I wasn't being critical of him to be clear. I was referring to the possibility of this happening.

This is what Gouffran would look like if we played him up front btw.

We need to get players around him much quicker so he can lay it off much easier. It's a big ask for him to hold off two centre halfs and wait for support.

Looked very raw today. Great to see him make his debut though. I Think he'd benefit from a loan to a good championship side who play football if possible.

So does a newborn baby. Let's give him some more realistic targets first man! Like what? We're only going to have him for a season and a half. By the time he learns to properly cross, he's either going to be Pardewed or off to Chelsea. He is our only hope now without HBA Gillespie / Solano He's 24. If he can't cross (which I won't discount on the basis of one showing of him), he ought to learn soon lest he go down the route of Jonas! Promising start I agree. Liked his skill when he drew the foul from Demichelis. Skill is fucking useless without end product he can do all the tricks he likes but if he doesn't do fuck all when he has the ball he may as well be Nani.

Knew this was coming Did he say " we made a good account of ourselves"?

Tiote could be a good again I think. Just not with Pardew as manager as he asks far too much of him. Tiote was brilliant at breaking the play up and distributing it simply and nothing else, it all went to pot when he was asked to do more.

Hart didn't have a save to make. Some threat that.

Milk another lot of stupidly loyal fans.

Also bare in mind how little interest Yaya shows when it comes to defending as well. I don't think I've seen anyone really say Colback is total crap I just think people want us to aim higher and buy someone who maybe can create something from central midfield like Cabaye could

Silky skills but he's going to need to provide a lot of end product to be a success. The team are going to be practically solely rely on him to create chances.

That's what I saw as well. Didn't think he was as spectacular as what people are saying. Battling is maybe the word I'm looking for. Certainly didn't see anything of outstanding quality that's going to take us on as a team. Because he wasn't just a run of the mill run around play it safe player. Perfect for Pardle.

City won in cruise control for me. We did the very least you'd expect which was run about and try our hardest not going to get fap happy when we couldn't muster a shot on target. Hopefully we can create some chances next game.

Same as the one we are playing today.

Zero shots on Target in the first half btw. I think one of those came from inside the box? albeit from an impossible angle. And I agree the basics of being able to retain possession and keep a shape shouldn't warrant praise.

Hope you starting posting on here more regularly. I don't think Anita has quite been fantastic though although with Colback looking to break forward from deep he's got a lot of ground to cover.
