Guest neesy111 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 His fitness at the moment is, as Bernard Manning would say: "a fucking disgrace!" It's never been brilliant if we are totally honest, he's good for the first 65 mins of the game but then drops off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not a good rate for those minutes like. I'd introduce the impact sub in this period but I don't think he'd take that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ba is a problem, demanding where he plays and when then he should be moved on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 He was pretty useless at the start of last season. Let's see what he's like after 6 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penn Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 He should be doing exactly as he's told. If Ba is a problem, demanding where he plays and when then he should be moved on. Urgh. Completely cringe-worthy how people on here take random snippets of baseless speculation like this and treat it as gospel/remotely credible. Demanding that he isn't substituted for fuck's sake.

Completely cringe-worthy how people on here take random snippets of baseless speculation like this and treat it as gospel/remotely credible. Demanding that he isn't substituted for f***'s sake. Not entirely baseless. Last season I think it was Bolton home when we had a frustrating game and we took Ba off for Shola. Ba angrily refused to shake Pards' hand iirc, and while I think that's just one of those "heat of the battle" things it still wouldn't surprise me sadly if he shows the same attitude towards being subbed.

He hasn't been useless this season, he has scored 1 in 3 which contributed a big part to us getting 3 points.

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Outside of Ben Arfa, Ba has been one of our better players. Cisse, Cabaye and Jonas have offered f*ck all going forward so far, at least Ba has looked like doing something. All this is clearly due to the fact Ba is comfortable in the 4-4-2 and the rest are not but still. I want Ba moved to the left of the front 3 as much as the next guy, as i truly believe his lack of goals last year was not due to playing on the left but confidence and fitness. but he's hardly been the worst performer. I really do hope we are not playing 4-4-2 just to keep Ba happy though, as no one is bigger than the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Aye. I'd actually drop Cisse for the Everton game with Ba central and Marv out left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yeah Cisse is the player I would 'drop'. I would think of rotating a front 3 between Marv, Ba, Cisse & Ben Arfa with Ben Arfa being ever present and Ba altering between LW & ST depending on who and how we're playing. Cabaye just behind.

Hanshithispantz Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Either way it would be disappointing if Pardew feels he cannot bench either, it's pretty clear that Marv will bring more to a game at the moment but as he isn't a big figure in the side he'll always be the one to make way.
