KaKa Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Did okay when he came on, as did Aarons. Neither really saw enough of the ball though. Can be useful this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 In all fairness, as useless as I think he is, he wasn't stand-out-shite. He stuck in a decent cross and worked one or two close passes in his time on the pitch. If it wasn't for the fact that we all know he has no bottle when it counts, you could say he deserved to have been given a chance after his pre-season.

loki679 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 It was the wrong change to make. As soon as he came on for Vurn we lost our shape and started giving away possession. Would much prefer for Abeid to have come on (possiby with Sissoko dropping back next to Colback and Abeid pushing further up) and Obertan to have replaced Gouffran if he absolutely had to come on.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Was Abeid the only CM on the bench yesterday? I guess Pardew didn't trust him in such a big game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Doubt either of the two clubs supposedly interested in him were impressed on yesterday's performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'm not saying I agree, but he wouldn't be the first manager not to throw in a youngster against a team like Man City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 He probably would be the first manager to bring on Obertan to change a game though. Probably yeah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_Taylor Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Also you don't bring on Youth players against City I assume because of the impact a poor performance might have on their confidence. Same could be said of Obertan. He brought Aarons on... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Obertan's rubbish but he can be useful now and again. He wasn't one I was absolutely dying for us to sell because he's the only winger we've got. Stick him on for ten minutes at the end, ideally when we're already winning, and he can give you something. Any other scenario and he's useless. Of course, every second he spends on the pitch defaults as being a total pisstake, given HBA's situation.
