Guest neesy111 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Man Utd signing him was a terrible, terrible insult to footballers the world over. Us signing him should have been the end of football transfers. Don't say we're going to replace him with fucking Bebe. Don't give Pardew ideas.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 He won't start against Norwich, he was just an option to provide some pace against a very quick Arsenal team. I know he's poor like, but I think that was the theory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 So.........what did he do tonight? He was pretty much anonymous. Bad touches here and there as well as a lack of anticipation/movement. It has to be said that a footballing brain would do him a lot of good like. As much as I would like to give him a chance, I have to admit, he's fast becoming a lost cause....

gbandit Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 You take a look at the whole season and it's criminal how little he's given us.in terms of wingers I'd play HBA,Jonas,ferguson,marveaux,raylor ahead of him.sick of his complete inability to control a football then do nothing with it.the biggest waste of a shirt this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Five o Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Crazy to play Obertan, he is shit. Can not see what Pardew sees in him. Cisse should have played in the hole, at least he will put in a shift. He have worked his socks of the matches he have played for us. Pardew was so close to fielding my dream XI.

Shayno Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Ran the most in the first half by some distance... Would rather play Vuckic if we go with a similar formation next game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugoinufc Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 he will never become good enough to deserve a start imo. very frustrating player to watch....sadly! Liked what pardew did with the formation....it really worked to start with....but obertan isnt good enough! Think we should have had cisse on top and ba in obertans position. we played some long balls....ba doing ok for flick ons...but obertan didnt manage to make the runs + he cant hold up the ball. Can easily see ba playing the role that obertan did...playing deeper and switching with arfa....cisse always in the box! obertan only have a role to play as sub coming in on the right to making runs a at a tired RB.

Elliottman Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Dont ever let this abomination play for us again. Ali I apologise to you because when we signed him and you were giving him grief I was one of those who said give the the lad a chance. Well fuck me, I was wrong.

Skirge Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Did he win a single 50/50 ball yesterday? he pulled out of a good few, where had he shown a little bit of bottle and nicked it first we could have been away in behind. Makes me so angry to watch him play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He have worked his socks of the matches he have played for us. Pardew was so close to fielding my dream XI. Why would Cisse play in the hole? I wouldn't choose to Cisse there either, however, why would you play Obertan there? What qualities have you ever seen him display to suggest he's be effective as a link between midfield and attack? The answer cleary is NONE so you have to wonder, why not try Ba there given Pardew himself has said he's put him some great 'number 10' displays and try Cisse up front?

BaltimoreBasedMag Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 While I don't think Obertan was horrendous against Arsenal, given the space Arsenal gave him and decent positions he was in he was extremely wasteful. If he had a bang on performance- winning an occasional 50-50 and run at their defense once in a while, I think we could have won that game. I had been holding up hope that he could do a Bale and just figure it out, but I have just about given up on that happening. He really lacks the brain and seemingly the grit to ever maximize his pace and come good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlelunchbox Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 he had some really neat touches and quick first touch passing in the first 20mins, was playing well and then arsenal stepped up their game we went into a shell and obertan turned back into a turd.

TRon Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I have to say I was impressed how he managed to chase back for 45 mins without putting a single tackle in. You'd think he'd win one challenge just by the law of percentages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
