Kanji Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 He is by far the most frustrating player to watch given he has the mental stability of a child. My goodness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Fergie should have come on instead of him. Peculiar decision by Pardew, surely he can see the lad isn't the most confident of players? Not the right game to throw him in to, what with the crowd on edge and players looking shaky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Just waiting for the fans to get blamed for his poor showing again... Cisse showed him up with his running/closing down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 He's a fucking coward. It's astonishing that a player as timid as him can get anywhere near the premier league. It's like watching Sheila off Shameless trying to play football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I'm not even buying this 'good games in Europe' thing tbh, it's the same as when Simpson played that game against Chelsea a while back. There's a difference between putting in a good performance and just not being totally shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 He can't even get the basics right; positioning, closing down, passes under 5 yards in a straight line and so on. He's hopeless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Awful decision to bring him on in that environment. Pardew must have known he'd freeze. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Think I prefer the Europa League Obertan to the PL Obertan. We just need to get Derren Brown to hypnotise him to think that every game is an Europa League game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 He doesn't do himself any favours mind. There's moments in the game where he could at least appear to be pressing the ball to get the crowd onside, instead he's standing there with his hands on his hips looking puzzled.

Disco Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I didn't think he was that bad when he came on, got round the back a couple of times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Much like Shola, the Europa League group stage is his level. He's not good enough in the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I didn't think he was that bad when he came on, got round the back a couple of times. He was terrible and kept giving the ball away, he did some things well which were outnumbered by what he did shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I really saw a different game to the rest of you i thought he did well when he came on unlucky not to set up a goal or 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 The most depressing thing is that after he came on he was probably our main attacking threat. The only one moving. I thought he did alright personally. Added a bit of pace and movement and created a couple of chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyeyzzon Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 The only cross in his locker seems to be that low cross. Which he rarely gets to do because it's as if he were crossing the channel trying to get past his man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 His idea of crossing seems to be to fire the ball 100mph across the box. The lad has a massive, empty head. Annoys me that someone so thick gets paid large amount of money and almost certainly rogers delightful females. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, what the fuck was the point in that?, at least give someone the chance to get on the end of it. Everything about him was awful today, right from his first touch. Marveux has had 1 poor game for us and hasn't been seen again, this guy does it game in and game out and still gets in the squad. He's been here nearly a year and a half now, it's not working for him, time for him to go. Routledge was better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 3 moments of the match summed him up for me... 1) Jonas played him a through ball on the left wing and there was a good chance he could have full sprinted and crossed if he slid for it - instead, he stopped running. 2) THAT 100mph cross that hit Cisse when all he had to do was drive it to him for a simple header 3) Cisse chased down Ridgewell in the box and Obertan just sat and watched Cisse when he could have helped close him down He looked like a fucking coward out there today. "Crowd gets on him so it hurts his performance" crap that we hear is some of the worst excuses I've ever heard for a player clearly unable to handle this league. The amount of times he was not on the same page as the rest of the squad is mind boggling given that he's not a new signing and has played this same role for quite some time.
