Bad Boy Barton should be ashamed of himself for getting slapped.

 

Marvellous use of alteration; reminds me of a young Melville. [/barton]

 

Taxi! ;)

 

Damn autocorrect. Of course I mean alliteration.

 

Wonder if our philosophy-loving Joey has recently read The Fall by Albert Camus...

Still can't understand why Ba came off instead of Shola.

 

Shola looked in slow mo compared to everyone else on the pitch.

 

Because as poor as Shola was in the first half, Ba was worse.

 

Can't have had the ball more than 3 or 4 times.

 

They both were poor but that was more about the midfield being overrun

Krul- 7- Felt confident with him

Simpson-7- Still the issues in his play but was dependable (seemed to have picked up a bit of speed this year?)

Taylor-7- Strong.

Coloccini-8.5- Brilliant. :aww:

Raylor-6- s*** but tried.

Barton-6.5- Heavily involved. Set pieces as usual were poor.

Cabaye-7- Improved as he got further forward, lacked a bit of sharpness.

Tiote- 7- Good. Was tired.

Jonas- 7- Lots of effort and commitment.

Shola-7- Did well.

Ba- 6- Average.

 

Obertan- 7.5- Very impressive

Best and Loven- 6

What?  :lol:

Shola was decent in the first half (as he was in the second). Ba on the other hand..

Love it when Shola falls over and then decides to have a nice sit down rather than get up and work. How many more years of that to look forward to?

Ratings

Krul        7    A little bit uneasy under the high ball but good reflexes and kicking game

Simpson 6    Solid, cleared one off the line

S. Taylor 7    Excellent defending, good physical presence.

Colo        8    Fast, cool and collected

R. Taylor 6    Out of position, but stuck to his task

Barton    7    Should have left Gevinho on the ground and let the referee book him for diving.

Tiote      6    Not at his best but not for want of trying

Cabaye    6    Looked better when he pushed forward, will be a good player when he's up to speed

Jonas      7    Worked his socks off

Ba          5    Doesn't look fit

Shola      7    Again worked hard, lots of skill at times

 

Obertan  6  Obviously fast, faded after a good first 20 minutes

Best        6    Shola, Ba and Best all look very similar players which is probably not a good thing

Lovenkrands 6

Barton is quite a man like  :lol: Best sending of I've ever witnessed.

 

We desperately need Ben Arfa back and to bring in a respectable striker.

 

You mean going down like a tart? Yeah, something to be proud of. (If you're a woman.)

Penalty my arse

 

f*** off savage

 

It clearly was a penalty, the ball was still in play when Barton manhandled Gervinho. We were f***ing lucky to get a point.

 

Hadaway man. Worst dive I've ever seen.

 

That's not what he meant.

 

(You avatar is brilliant, by the way, but you need to Photoshop Pardew's head in there! :lol:)
