BrettNUFC Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Nothing new the press trying to put pressure on us and trying to create a bigger problem. Surprised they haven't ran a story about Ben Arfa on strike or summit or some huge bust up. Our own local press? who do nothing but lick the clubs hoop? Yeah man,typical. Come on man, you can at least admit its worrying. Rather than dismissing it completely out of hand Lee Ryder is a bellend. It's worrying for how bad our last couple of performances have been but to suggest our best player is getting dropped especially when he was probably man of the match in all our opening games, just can't see it at all. Think things are just getting stirred up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Love watching a rigid 4-4-2 with no attacking threat on the flanks personally, you all whinge too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Pardew seems to have this thing though where he must change the whole team and formation after a loss. It's no surprise if he does, he famously did it after the 4:0 wigan, he didnit most recently after hull and probably again ror Cardiff,. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 The manner of the Everton goals is a shame, because it really seemed Pardew had hit on our best team before that. As you say though, it's very possible he will now fold and revert to type. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're stupid enough to take over a season to play the formation that everyone was screaming out for, then you're stupid enough to change it because you don't realise that it works. He tried every variation of players and formations without EVER playing the one that saw us to 5th. The man is just an inexcusable, talentless cunt.

TRon Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Jonas will be back, no two ways about it. The only way Hatem will stay in the side is if we go with just one forward, and I can't see that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 For a brief moment we had genuine wide threat with Remy and HBA. Can't have that though, must go back to offering nothing at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishMagpie Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 after 'managing' the majority of the same group of players for some time now you would think he would have enough tactical nous to get the best out of each player, ie. what position suits which player best but it seems he's still in his "test, fail, tweak, re-test" mode.

Guest hatem garrincha Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 NUFC : 7 points. HBA directly involved in 6. Probably on the bench against Cardiff because he didn't play left back at Goodison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I would actually be amazed in HBA was benched for Cardiff. I'll be absolutely fuming if he's on the bench, but with Pardew sadly that wouldn't surprise me one bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 If the full backs were capable of defending this wouldn't be anywhere near a problem. Unfortunately they struggle massively in this department. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 One way to completely lose any remaining support he might have is to bench a potential match winner and fan's favourite. I fully expect him to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I would actually be amazed in HBA was benched for Cardiff. This. Just can't see it happening in the slightest considering Pardew has always known of Ben Arfa's lack of defensive ability, he would have been out the team a long time ago if he always judged him on this. One poor defensive game and he's out the side completely, not for me like . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offensively he was still looking our brightest spark, fair enough he lost the ball a few times but at least he was having a go at them unlike some. However he allowed Coleman to drive on past on a couple of occasions and Mirallas and Coleman were looking a threat for the full 45 minutes whilst Baines was contained to an extent with Gouffran on other side.

Mick Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I can't see Ben Arfa getting dropped for Jonas if that's what people are worried about. I think Jonas (has he ever been dropped by Pardew?) will more than likely see us go 4-4-2 with Jonas wide left and Ben Arfa wide right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettNUFC Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Remy Gouffran Jonas Tiote Cabaye Sissoko Dummett Colo Willo Debuchy I'm guessing a lot on here think the line up will be something like that if you're going off what Lee Ryder says.
