Geordie Ahmed Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Everyone thinks they're a body language expert after Enrique left, bit embarrassing IMO. He says he's happy, why can't we just leave it at that? Exactly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Demba played well yesterday and looked a lot sharper than Cisse. Amazing goal. Demba missed the last two pens hasn't he so I was expecting Cisse to step up. I am surprised that someone wasn't given the pen taking role before the game though. I don't like the squabbling over pens, it adds extra pressure to an already pressurized situation anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 As far as i'm concerned with Demba's demeanour in the post match conference and in general it can't be easy to act more joyful etc when you haven't eaten for so long. I know one thing if hadn't eaten for as long as Demba has i would be grumpy as hell. Definitely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tisd09 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I didn't see that I just remember him taking some top pens on a famous video site after he first signed. Pity we can't do special teams and bring wor Shola on for pens (I know we couldn't have done that anyway yesterday) I assume now the HBA will be on pens at least until he misses?

Mick Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Saylor should take them if Shola isn't on the pitch, iyam. I was over the moon to see Ben Arfa stepping up to take the penalty because it’s a pressure situation and I doubt Ben Arfa would ever consider missing one so he’s already half way to scoring. I doubt any of our players has more self-confidence than Ben Arfa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When someone steps up to take a penalty, there just seems to be a "he's gonna miss" or "he's gonna score" aura about every taker. An on-form Ba would have such aura about him, but Hatem seems to be one who I really cannot see missing a penalty. The fact that he volunteered to take it ahead of Ba alone pretty much confirmed the success for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I knew right when Friedel went sprawling it was going in, love when a premature celebration is successful. Also, the touch to bring it down and line up the shot was top class stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Delighted he got a goal yesterday, will take the pressure off him. I do fear his reluctance to play out wide may become a problem in the coming months though. With the players we have in the squad we absolutely should be playing a 4-3-3 as our main system, but it seems that Pardew still views it as our 'Plan B'. If Pardew has promised Ba he'll be played primarily in the middle then he's made a mistake IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I just remember him taking some top pens on a famous video site after he first signed. It's called Youtube. As far as I'm aware, saying Youtube isn't (and sure as f*** shouldn't be) a banning offence. Look: "Youtube Youtube Youtube". Seems I'm yet to be struck by lightning.
