Jack Flash Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 “Gabby has a chance of being involved on Saturday. When we don’t have Gabby, it does affect the opposition because when he’s in the team their left-back does not go anywhere. “We’ve had problem with that in recent weeks in terms of the opposition left-back getting into our box and creating goals. If nothing else he will stop that and if Gabby plays as he has done in the European matches, then he will affect the game in a positive manner as well.” Nothing to do with Simpson being a storm drain then?

Zero Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 HBA rarely bombing down the line during counter attack though. He will go through centre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 He has a point but at the same time i think he's just trying to build up the lads confidence as well. Obertan bottles more often than not and any decent left back will know that he can give Obertan a head start and catch him up when he runs out of ieads and stops to think.

Tooj Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Nothing wrong with a manager bigging up his own players in the press to give them a confidence boost. Keegan was the master at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlelunchbox Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 If we have to play 4-5-1/ 4-3-3 I'd still have this meat head outwide rather than one of our strikers like Ba or Cisse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's genuinely what he feels Obertan gives us why didn't he play against Everton to nullify Baines? Pardew just says anything. I doubt there's an attacking left back in the division that is scared to push forward because Obertan is playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would claim Bigi was Rudolph if he thought it would bring on his performances. Honestly, if as you are claiming all he wanted to do is big up Obertan's confidence he would surely talk about him in a more positive light rather than in terms of merely nullifying the opposition fullback.
