duo Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Why did he come off? absolutely baffling. Did not get that at all. Was our best player today imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Surprised to be saying this, but he was class today. Should now start on the wing with Cisse central. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes23 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Fair play. Looks a lot better on the left. And again. Think I'm becoming an Ober-fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Should never play anywhere but the left side in a front 3. He's been awesome there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 What's weird is that i said about 100 pages ago this guy should only play on the left. Didn't take much perception. You could see he wasn't suited to anywhere else. Whenever he looked half decent at Manure, it was on the left too. Why does it take our manager so long to see that? It really baffles me.

themanupstairs Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Yup. Hopefully we set up right for Brighton and he tears them a new one. He looked confused when he went off and sat on the bench having just produced one of our most dangerous attacks up to that point. I'm sure the players start to wonder if their manager knows what he's doing in these situations. Been brilliant the last few games. Keep on keeping on Gabby son!

KaKa Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Really great to hear the crowd encourage him when he got the ball too. You could just see him trying more things everytime he got the ball, as he got more and more confident. Probably the worst decision ever to then take him off. Pardew is grossly inadequate.

Jill Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Why did he come off? absolutely baffling. Did not get that at all. Was our best player today imo. Yeah I thought this too (in line with just about everyone else, it seems!) Was a bit surprised to see him go off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 How crazy is it that for almost the entire time that he's been here, we've almost all thought he was absolutely shit and that someone else should play ahead of him, he shouldn't start, he shouldn't come on or whatever, with Pardew sticking with him through poor performance after performance. And here, finally he's showing something worthwhile, not just in the match, but in his form, and Pardew brings him off, at 2-1 down, for a defensive midfielder. Pardew is not just bad, he's just so specifically bad that, more often than not, he completely astounds me with how baffling he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I thought we looked better when Bigi came on. Our midfield was shambles yesterday until the point he came on and Obe wasn't really having a great game. Right before he was subbed off he had the only really good run of the game. It's just to easy to defend him, lacks intelligence and Jagielka was showing him inside and then outside all the time as he knew Obe would try to make a terribly slow dribble on him. It's just too easy, and doesn't really deserve to be starting. A 10-15minute sub apperance is where it's at. His speed can be great for counter attacking and when there is more space on the field to attack. In tight areas he just lacks the natural talent to succeed.

Bring Bigi on was a good decision in itself, but it should definitely have been for Shola, not Obertan, who was one of our bright spots and only minutes before had almost equalised. Bigi on for Shola with Cisse moving to the middle and Marveaux out wide on the right was where it was at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
