I'm loving the look of that.

 

Look at that defensive record. And should really have been another clean sheet tonight.

 

i just wiped my nob on my monitor.

Krul - Considering how he did nearly a year ago at home to Stoke, this shows how far he has come. Obviously the odd 1 or 2 scares but when you've had to deal with 6 giants throwing themselves at you for 90 minutes, I think he stood up well.

Simpson - Much better than usual, no ricks of note.

R Taylor - Very good, brave performance. Helped out a lot by Jonas.

S Taylor - Nout of note, performance wasn't altered by the mask.

Colo - King

Jonas - The hardest working man in showbiz

Guthrie - Impressive, grafted like fuck

Cabaye - Likewise, grafted, barely passed half way

Obertan - Put a cross in! Great opening 45, faded badly second half but nearly scored. Better than against Wigan - a great outlet on the break away from home

Best - Holds the ball up well, Ba will get the headlines but Best was impressive

Ba - Loves a goal.

 

Perch - :lol: Loves a yellow

Sammy/Gosling - No comment. Sammy Ameobi do do do!

 

Pardew - Brave decision tonight, going for the old combed on one side/wild as fuck on the other. Clearly worked as the players observed his game plan to the word of the sexual maestro. FIST PUMP.

 

Now...don't lose to Everton.

Krul.......7 A few blunders and poor kicking, but coped well wnough with the barrageof crosses/throwins entering the box

Simpson... 7 Lacked some common sense positioning himself and gave the ball away needlessly at times, however Etherington hardly had a sniff.

Coloccini... 8 What a man! Composed, Strong, Intelligent and set up our second goal with a peach of a cross for Best

Saylor... 8 Strong performane from the man in the mask, won alot in the air and was composed with the ball at his feet.

Raylor... 8 Took an absolute battering and didnt put a foot long, developing a good partnership with Jonas. Great Performance

Cabaye... 6 Kept things ticking well in the first half, but ultimately ran out of gas

Guthrie.. 7 Excellent at retaining position and also looks to be alot fitter this season. Ran the most out of any player on the pitch by a country mile

Obertan.. 7 Finally using his pace to scare the shit out of the opposition and a well taken assist

Jonas.. 8 Defensively was an absolute rock.. ran himself to the gorund.. good at retainign possesion

Best... 7 Fantastic physical presence and a great touch.. and assist and won us a penalty

Ba... 9 Man is a goal scoring machine and full of confidence. Took 3 players on by himself a times

 

Sameobi.. NA didnt see much of the ball

Gosling.... Na likewise

Perch... 6 Came on to do a job and got a yellowcard afer 10 seconds of being on the pitch. Whats new

 

Pardew.. 9/10 suberp tactics

Loved it at the end when the whole team got behind Krul and Ba and stood up to those big fuckers, trying to bully a goal.

Do wonder if narrowing the pitch actually helps Stoke, their wingers seems their only competent players.

 

Dan raised a good point too earlier, the ball drifted out needlessly loads from their stylish centre backs lofting it over the top.

So chuffed

 

Was sticking my new kitchen together and totally forgot about the game.  Old man called us to tell us we were 2 nowt up, well pleased we beat the scummy bastards that are stoke.

 

Can somebody issue this man a ban, were playing for third and he's putting a kitchen together  ;D

Krul 8 - Dealt with the set pieces and throw-ins brilliantly.

 

Simpson 8 - Kept Eitherington quiet and always looked solid. Easily his best performance of the season.

Colo 9 - Absolute class act, flawless performance.

Taylor 8 - Brave, never looked flustered.

Taylor 8 - See Simpson. Pennant barely had a sniff.

 

Obertan 7 - Much better today, looked dangerous on the break and generally put in a decent shift.

Guthire 8 - Did the job you'd expect Cabaye to do, great use of the ball.

Cabaye 6.5 - Quality first half, sloppy in the second.

Jonas 8.5 - Brilliant defensive shift, without looking too dangerous going forward.

 

Best 7 - Grafted his bollocks off. Defended from the front and remained a pest throughout.

Ba 8.5 - Great application, great effort, great hattrick.

 

Pardew 8.5 - Got his tactics absolutely spot on, ruined it by bringing Perch on for Cabaye, outragous decision.
