mrmojorisin75 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 by the way, given the amount of criticism i throw at pardew he probably deserves praise in a sense for his handling of marveaux if it turns out he's fit long term...seems to have resisted throwing him in too much, maybe it was an injury thing not a tactical thing that we'll see the benefit of now if so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Marveaux deserves praise for his recent performances. He is creative which is something we've desperately needed with Cabaye and Ben Arfa not fit. He's not been perfect though. His corners weren't the best yesterday and he lost the ball in midfield, then fell to ground which directly lead to an Arsenal goal (although he certainly isn't alone in costing us a goal yesterday). Marveaux's best position seems to be in the middle not on the wing. Ben Arfa's best position seems to be on the wing and not in the middle. I've not been impressed when Ben Arfa has played behind the striker/s. Marveaux hasn't really impressed when played on the wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 why do thay have to be in the middle or on the wing, could thsey not have the freedom to do both ? Ben Arfa tends to be 'based' on the wing but doesn't stay there rigidly. During the game he's rarely on the wing, he cuts in and roams about. I'm just saying when he is 'based' behind the striker/s he hasn't been as affective as when he is 'based' on the wing. Marveaux has been more effective when he is 'based' in the middle behind the strikers. He may be OK on the wing now he seems to have found form and fitness but in his previously wing appearances he hasn't impressed me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I knew it would be only a matter of time before he shows why he's got the potential to be nicknamed the "Marfox". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 What a player, absolutely class. That pass just made me laugh in the same way as when Cisse scored his second against Chelsea. If Jonas or anyone else comes in for him someone needs to be executed. Wow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 He seems a more natural AM than either Cabaye or HBA. He can carry the ball unlike Cabs but seems more open for the pass unlike HBA. Agreed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 He simply has to start after that amazing performance. He probably would've got MOTM if Walcott hadn't suddenly become an overnight god for that match. That pass, his goal and general contribution was just immense. We need to hold on to this guy for a long time if poss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/sylvain-s-a-magpie-marv-el-now-1-5267898 Some positive words about him from Pardew . Even commends his work rate, which seems strange to me as he's a bit of a lazy fucker at times. Also says he will play tonight. Good job we've got that fence.

Ishmael Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Shola should be taken with any England squad and brought on in the 119th minute so he can take a penalty. Nigeria, as per usual, say no! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I would have Tiote take the penalties actually just for the extra entertainment and amusement. The goal keepers would all just dive well out of the way to avoid getting maimed. The only problem would be ensuring he actually hit the target, rather than continue to donate footballs to the Ivory Coast via air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
