Has he ever been booked? Can't remember him ever picking up a card.

 

 

He got booked against Sunerland :lol:

 

:lol: Of course he did.

Ah man, imagine having a good manager that helps develop players. Santon could be so good with some decent coaching.

 

Tbf a determined like Cabaye did improve.

 

Hmmm ... not sure I believe that at all. I honestly believe Cabaye was always that good, just needed to get used to the pace of the league. I would venture to say that he would have shown even more, in a team that was setup better to attack, than Pardew will ever manage.

Aye, but probably entirely of his own accord. None of our younger players seem to develop whatsoever under Pardew.

Anderson leaving for Florence has taken a toll on your brain...

Clearly. I turned it off at 2-0, but I can hardly remember anything.

Like I said the other day, the thing I can't forgive with this lad for is his jogging back when he's out of position, and for not putting more than a tame foot out to try and block Adam Johnson. I've this feeling he's been awful for ages with this goal line scramble type stuff and generally always loses out. Could just be supremely clouded judgement based on that sorry excuse for defending on Adam Johnson's goal.

I don't rate him offensively either. Doesn't contribute to any assists or goals. I really don't see the point of him. I used to forgive him b/c I thought he was OK defensively with his height and ability in the air and carrying ball forward - but he's weak as piss when he's having one of those low confidence days.

Offense isn't all about goal and assists, he does contribute in other offensive parts, but I do agree with you. Losing hope with him, and do think Haidara deserves his shot now (unless he's injured again).

Offensively he's useful for bringing the ball out of defence and carrying it forward. That's about it though, as he won't go outside the full back so never gets behind the defence to put a decent cross in.

I'm not a fan of Haidara defensively either, but if we are going to play Anita, Tiote, Sissoko - then AP needs to drill into those 3 that Debuchy and Haidara are going to be push up to create chances and they need to be disciplined in their midfield roles to cover for these full backs.

He does have some good qualities but also a lot of flaws which overshadow them. He lacks pace for the PL, is scared to tackle and can't shoot with his favoured foot. He could be more effective if he learnt to overlap properly like a good fullback would do (Debuchy) instead of just wandering aimlessly forward with the ball . Moreover he could make some runs into the box like Debuchy has done in recent times to offer us some firepower ( :lol:) which will be much needed in the coming weeks
