Obertan is so fucking lazy.. doesn't even remotely attempt to get back and help out taylor.. you could maybe forgive him if he offered something going forward but he doesn't. I honestly don't see why we don't just play Ben Arfa there.. at least for the time being.

R.Taylor perhaps EVEN worse at right back. Honestly all the problems are coming down his side. Simple passes to Obertan going out of play FFS!

 

:lol: Every week, every highlight package. The opponent is attacking his side.

Ba is so much better than Carroll like.

 

Massive difference in ability, crazy.

 

Aye, Carroll would have controlled on the end of his knob, flicked it up for himself to do an overhead kick 40 yards in the sky, smashing it into the bottom corner. The ball would have went through the Earth's crust, through the mantel, smashing through the core, causing Earthquakes and Volcanoes to go off around the world.

Again, not even an exaggeration. Just pure, unadulterated truth.

They're attacking Obertan tbf. Raylor is up against two players.

This is canny like. Nee adverts, nee pundits, just continuous rolling highlights and stats.

 

The music gets old quickly. At least, listening to it week in and week out does. Halftime is always good for a little relaxing music for me these days.

Shocking first half. Pardew needs to take a long hard look at himself for this lineup..

 

???

 

 

He's chosen a gameplan and the personnel to suit, HBA wouldn't fit into this game because the ball has been pinged from one end to the other.

 

Totally disagree with HBA not being suited. We've looked good with the ball on the floor. We need people who can retain the ball not Ryan Taylor and Obertan passing it out to the crowd every few minutes. Get HBA on and get Best on. Two players who are technically more able than Taylor and Obertan. Then we can really have a go at Norwich who are actually wank

HT thoughts:

 

Really hope people see Raylor for what he is now, he gets taken out of the game so simply and quickly by just about any move, whether it be a run, dribble or simple one-two, partially because he is useless and partially because his positioning is shite. Simpson's done exactly the same job Colo does, only on the right, as he has to drift out and cover for Raylor's ineptitude and hope he can stall attacks long enough for Raylor to drift inside and cover for Simpson in turn. In conclusion Raylor needs to be babysat throughout entire games, whether it's Colo or Simpson doing it for him.

 

Perch has been pretty weak too, and Santon's made one or two big mistakes out there that hopefully have gone unpunished, though he's also had good moments. Can't believe how well Simpson's done, mind, including a terrific block.

 

In midfield we're being totally bossed - Gosling basically scarpers upfield any time we have the ball leaving Cabaye in there by himself. Not only is Cabaye deeper and having to defend, he's having to run around like a madman cos he's isolated. The couple of times Cabaye's had a moment to think on the ball he's forced a save and assisted a goal, whereas Gosling, for all the impressive surging runs, has flattered to deceive. Pardew needs to tell Gosling to hold back a bit more, play it simpler and, crucially, contribute to defence, which he isn't doing atm. On the plus side, he was helping to push Norwich's midfield back, which earned Cabaye some space to deliver the assist. Just harness Gosling's energy for the team rather than for his personal glory.

 

On the wings Jonas has not been great, but Obertan, fucking hell. awful yet again. how can someone with all the good attributes he has continually deliver semi-pro level performances? He does fairly well off-the-ball most times, but once the ball is passed beyond his immediate zone he switches off.

 

Up top Shola's been lazy, imo. seems to be in a foul mood. Ba's not been in the game as much as we'd like, but obviously did exceptionally well for the goal.

Reminds me of Vernon Kay for some reason. Not that you'll know who that is. You're laughing if you're a crappy indy band and your generic rock is picked up for sports highlights package.

Guys did you know Paul Jewell was born in Liverpool?

Nee wonder you know the ins and out of tons of shite managers.

There is simply no way Obertan should be given another 45mins. We cannot afford passagers today and that is exactly what he is. Would love Ben Arfa to come on but wouldnt mind Sammy either. And yes i was slagging off R.Taylor but as pointed out, he has had no protection either which we all know he needs.
