Deservedly awarded MOM today, closely followed by Best. He's looking like the player I thought he could be when when we first signed him. He looks a lot sharper and fitter than I think I've ever seen him.

He's been one of the success stories of the season. He looked washed up last season but this year, he's stepped up whenever he's been involved.

:thup:

 

As others have said, he looks so much fitter and is all over the pitch where as before he was a player who could ping a ball about when it came to him but when it didn't he wasn't involved at all.

Has anyone noticed the strange Danny Guthrie quirk of him making arcing-shaped runs? It looks mental to me, but it seems to scare opposition from stepping-up against his limited pace. :lol: :lol: Good for him. Decent psychology.

The fact that when we've been without Tiote we havn't really missed him, is a testiment to how much he has improved. When you can fill the shoes of someone who's as valuable Tiote so seamlessly you've got something about you. Would like to see him as a centre 3 with Tiote and Cabaye. Well done lad, really pleased for him.

:aww: Used to be one of my favorite players in the Championship season and glad to see him playing well in the big league.

 

He was basically my favourite player in the Championship, but he disgusted me with his attitude and application last season in response to Hughton's admittedly woeful mismanagement of him. Been a completely different player under Pardew. He's lost at least a stone, looks very sharp, motivated and aware of those around him.

My favourite toon player atm.

 

Definitely should play in a three when we have Tioté back. At least in some games.

 

Ba is perfectly capable of playing up front on his own. He may not get as many goals, but we should control games a lot better. Hatem should chip in with a few goals if we play:

 

                    Ba

Jonás                              HBA

            Guthrie Cabaye

                    Tioté

 

With the standard back four. Cabaye should get forward and score a few more playing like that, too

Not that again. It's no good controlling games if we don't score. 4-4-2 is out best system - especially for Ba - with everyone fit.

 

We've barely even tried anything other than 4-4-2 though, so how do you know?

By your own admission you think Ba will score less goals in that system. We simply can't afford that.

Thankfully pardew knows this.
