One paced totti does fine for Roma. Cabaye is such an easy target now I'll judge him when I see him player under a manager of some ability like rudi Garcia. Oh wait he did that and lead lille who were under dogs to a league championship.

I cross my fingers but i doubt it.

Pressed him much higher up the pitch and he slowed things down too much too. They did bimpy but that's because we reverted to our usual sitting deep nonsense. We didn't push up the pitch or press at all, everytime we lose the ball we retreat without tying to win it back. We need to get the whole team to push higher up the field and have Anita pick the ball up from the centre backs and let him dictate the tempo.

He just started with Sissoko-Anita-Cabaye ffs. My post was in response to bimpy saying Pardew will want more bite

Typical Pardew: I'm sure if he had his own way he'd buy Cattermole and have him and Tiote playing central midfield.

Sounds like Pardew logic this. Anita did fine today the issue is how we actually defend. We drop off and sit deep but we don't close down nor do we we get right on top of that we don't even take up a compact shape. We have to address how we defend as a team before we worry about the personnel doing the defending, we have no defensive shape whatsoever it's a disgrace.

The hoofs don't work Alan.

You know your a shit manager when Steve Bruce gets one over on you. Notice how Hull defend deep narrow and very compact and they close down and double up a stark contrast to us.

Tiote lost the ball, then closed down the man who won it and we won it back! I've been preaching we should do this all fucking day. We haven't put the man on the ball under any pressure all day.

I think if we are honest any good result we get is papering over cracks. The club is rotten from top to bottom.

Nowt to do with players being s*** at all. Funny how these players weren't shit before Pardew got his hands on them.

i'd have liked him here. only £4m wasn't it? too english, probably He's shit, players for Hull for a reason. Anyone in this league should be able to hurt you if given time on the ball.

what a joke but thats what you get back when you sit deep, don't press and don't get right. Shocking defending as usual.

We have no shape at all since Cabaye went off.

Aye back to aimless lumps now.

Sub Cisse for Marv and go 4-2-3-1.

Cisse off please, he offers nothing at present.

We really lack a vocal leader in our team. the organisation has been appalling.

Does it irritate anybody else when we lose possession and just trudge back? I'd like to see us be a bit more aggressive and at least try to close down the first man.

This but I don't rate him all that highly personally. Just another chugging english central midfield who doesn't really excel at anything.

Couldn't agree more It's great how Chamberlain takes a back seat and lets them both get into a good debate.

How long can we put up with his bad form though? Gouff came off the bench and scored surely he deserves a chance in the starting 11, it would also give us more flexibility as he and Remy could interchange positions.

Can do aye, but we need to start it at about -£200m so it could be a long one. Aye the fat fuck is going to make us for his mistakes.

We didn't really play through Anita yesterday hence his lack of touches also he pushed forward quite often which I prefer he didn't personally. He does the simple things well and I think with Remy, Ben Arfa, Cabaye & Sissoko playing ahead of him keeping it simple is all we need.

The Clown who hosts 606 was trying to pile the credit on Pardew for our signings. (Ben Arfa etc) It's quite shocking how poor most football journos are in this country
