don't change a team that got us where we are?

 

So you'd keep Ryan Taylor in even though he was shown up completely on Saturday?

 

Hold on a minute. This is the same Ryan Taylor who has gained us quite a few points recently? Drop him for a couple of mistakes under pressure against the leagues best team? Drop the fella whose done so well for the last 10 games for a young kid who is untried or tested in the prem?

I was fucking sure he was taking the piss when he backed up his argument for benching Ben Arfa was that we should go back to the undefeated side. What in the absolute fuck is he on? :lol:

 

So come on then, who would you leave out?

 

Best, Ba, Obertan?

 

Obertan.

Well when next game is against another game where he'll be pressured like that again there is logic, though ultimately it is also the wrong time to be testing out Santon, so it can go either way for me. I'd probably keep Raylor but tell Jonas to be especially defensive. As I've said before this is the flipside of Pardew's style of keeping together winning side in form, I approve mostly, but then you do get in trouble when you haven't bedded in a potential improvement when form dips when you least want it to.

Obertan.

 

But he has already made it clear to Pardew he doesn't want to play on the wing.

Depending on the opp and the form of Obertan (mostly shit) Best (bit of a plodder but has made the most of his limitations), Afra has to start games. We haven't even seen his real top gear stuff. IMO has to be in the side from now on...HAS TO. :)

Same lad that would have been a hell of a lot more exposed had it not been for the chap playing in front of him on the left wing.  Forgot his name again?  Who is it?

See this is a debatable point.  ;)

 

I get how Jonas was asked to do a job against Stoke and it worked. But......

 

He now doesnt attack at all (not that I think it was ever great).

 

If we had someone, him or another, attacking down the left, that would also ease pressure on Taylor because they would be defending against us and not us sitting back at defending against them.

 

Whether you agree with me, you'll have heard the phrase " the best line of defence is attack". Basically what Im getting at here.

 

And, because he is attacking we have turned very one sided with most attacks coming down the right either with Obertan or Sammi. Much better in my deluded opinion to have attacks going down both flanks.  :)

Place attacking player on left, tell attacking player to attack, opposing midfielders and defenders therefor helpless to infinite attacks.

 

:troll: Problem, fullback fags?

You do realise that you've just completely contradicted yourself here, right?
