Gabriel Obertan signs for Anzhi


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Was Abeid the only CM on the bench yesterday? I guess Pardew didn't trust him in such a big game.

 

Player who played in and won a cup final last season or the mutant offspring of an octopus and a bicycle pump?

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.
