TBG Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Great interview. Glad we're signing players that understand the need for quality squad players in our push for the CL League Title f*** sake. Have some realism, mate. CL, assault on the League and FA Cups and now the title? Pardew out if we don't achieve all of the above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Would like to see him get some minutes on Saturday. I think we need to see what difference he makes to the attack instead of Obertan.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportnet Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 This is what John Carver said today: “We saw a glimpse this week of how much he’s improved condition-wise,” “That was a major factor when he came in. He’d had issues, and wasn’t up to speed.” “He’s worked extremely hard, and I mean extremely hard.” ” It’s been difficult for him, as he’s not been in the team.” “He’s not used that as an excuse. He’s rolled his sleeves up. He went to Bolton, and I thought he was superb.” “For me, he could do a job on either side. He’s got his mind focused on training, and he’s waiting for his opportunity.” “That’s what’s putting pressure on the two wide guys at the moment.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 The lack of first-team football is concerning. He could have made a big difference against Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 This guy more than anyone is the fella I would like to see play in the first team. Just looks an all round class act. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 The lack of first-team football is concerning. He could have made a big difference against Spurs. Literally the post above you has stated why there has been a lack of first team football. He's getting up to speed and is banging on the door. Pretty certain we'll eventually see him as a regular in the team. Also encouraging that Carver has said he can play on either side, as I'd rather not touch Jonas given his form. Edit: And to be fair our subs made a pretty big impact against Spurs... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NewFan Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I definitely want to see him start a game to see the difference between him and obertan. Perhaps Wigan game is perfect for him in place of obertan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 And he was injured all of last season was he not? What's the point in rushing him in whilst the team is doing well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 And he was injured all of last season was he not? What's the point in rushing him in whilst the team is doing well? Indeed. Just want to see him playing soon. Much better player than Obertan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnonel Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Its a good position to be in to have these players on the bench. No need to rush, long season ahead. Will get his chance. Just really glad he is working hard and putting pressure on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 He played two full 120 minutes and kept running all game in both, don't understand how much more up to speed he needs to be. really think Wigan should be the start of us seeing him, Ben Arfa and Santon start.

SiLvOR Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Agree. For me, he simply has to come in for Obertan. If only to have a bit of a different feel down the right side. Yes, I'd play him down the right, let him cut in cause a bit of mayhem playing the likes of HBA and Ba through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 We could actually become quite a dynamic and fluid side with Marveaux and Jonas. I would certainly line up Jonas on the left and Marv on the right, but I would also encourage them to swap over throughout the game. It would make it a lot harder for the opposition to deal with us as our playing style would most likely change as soon as they swap sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Still wary of making too many changes all at once, the mackems should be a warning about 'on paper' football. It is good to hear the staff consider him an option for either side as although I have nothing against Obertan, we can't drop Jonas and shifting him over might not be a good idea given his performances down the left. As someone said, It's a good problem to have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Marveaux has always looked a left-sided midfielder to me, but it'll be interesting to see him on the right hand side. It will however restrict Tiote and/or Cabaye going forward, especially if Simpson is overlapping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Think he'll get 30 minutes on Saturday and then play the full game Vs Blackburn. After that he should start instead of Obertan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Think he'll get 30 minutes on Saturday and then play the full game Vs Blackburn. After that he should start instead of Obertan. That's the way I see it to be honest. I think Santon and Ben Arfa are more likely to come in next game, and I think Pardew would be reluctant to make too many changes to a so far winning formula. I actually (surprisingly) have faith in how Pardew is approaching things and am pretty certain we'll eventually see our strongest line-up. He's showing good man management by keeping faith in those that are currently performing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I think in the past we may have rushed to give him some playing time but our good start have enabled us to bide our time with him. Hopefully he'll get some playing time on Saturday against Wigan, a start in the cup against Blackburn then he should be ready for a start, unless Obertan's form picks up?
