Ameobi - 4.5 - Not great at all.

 

Given the captains armband and even that can't spur this gormless excuse for a footballer to step up a gear.

Ba looked pretty slow yesterday, but I think it's just fitness.

 

Shit myself when Cabaye and Ba went down.

 

I think Sammy and Vukcic can be really important for us and I'm looking forward to see how they progress.

 

Cabaye's corners were great btw.

Simpson's technique is atrocious. He's one of those players who generally does the defensive basics without asserting himself. If the MOTD analysis bunch ever get their hands on him they'll have a fucking field day. Under pressure he's awful, absolutely awful.

Spot on. The lack of good quality depth at the back is rather concerning.

Vuckic played really well when he came on yesterday. Even though he was playing a bit deeper, he always had his head up and was picking people out with ease. Has to be a contender to play the 'Ben Arfa' role against Arsenal.

 

Won't happen though.

 

Loved his celebration as well.

That's good to hear. IMO Barton's corners were quite often terrible last season.

Cabaye's set pieces were great was a bit of a shame when Barton started taking set pieces in the second half. Cabaye's a great little player, you can just tell. Looking forward to him being our 'attacking' midfielder, his ball behind the defence for Ba was almost perfect.

“Fitness is massive and we want to be taking the game to Arsenal.

 

“A few years ago we would try to pass the ball about against teams like that, now we will try to take the game to them.

 

Eh?

ALAN PARDEW has revealed he will be treating tomorrow night’s friendly with Gateshead as a “first-team fixture” as he looks to give the Tyneside public an earlier than expected look at his Magpies line-up following the aftermath of Elland Road defeat.
