LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Not his best performance for sure but totally deserving of a starting berth next game, will he get it though? Is he fit enough to start? If not, is it better to start him and he lasts one half or would he be better coming on in the second half as a sub? Also who do we drop? Like I said, Cisse could also have scored from Sissoko's passes. Ben Arfa and Sissoko both play best on the right. Someone to replace Gouffran on the left would be best but I wouldn't want to put Ben Arfa on the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Bloke in front of me refused to clap him onto the pitch, declaring he was absolute shite. Didn't say a word about Ben Arfa after the goal like. Not one bit of praise, the auld cunt. Someone behind me also said he loved Pardew because he's a passionate bloke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like Sissoko but he was having a good game and Ben Arfa was off his pace yet I thought he offered more when he came on. Gouf would be the best to replace as he needs a break, clearly looking jaded and didn't offer much today, but I wouldn't play Sissoko or Ben Arfa there. Still think when Remy is back Gouf should get a rest with LDJ playing up top and HBA/Remy playing right/left of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 As much as I love BA he is currently a disgrace as a professional footballer. He is so unfit it is laughable; it's time to get serious with him, he still has a great change of pace of 10 yards but fuck he's blowing out his arse for the next 10 minutes. I thought I was going to run on the pitch with oxygen for him at one point. Honestly, he should be embarrassed with the state he's got himself in.

bowlingcrofty Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Doesn't play because he doesn't do enough defensive work. Yet Sissoko, surely the laziest cunt at the club, starts every game. If that doesn't highlight how much of a cunt Pardew is, nothing will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club should be embarrassed for allowing him to get in that state as well. He is a passionate player, I think he needs to be loved. He wants to be lauded as the best player and I think he needs to be told he is amazing on a regular basis. If he isn't he loses interest, it would not surprise me if he suffered as a manic depressive. Just hypothesing, I love him hr had all the talent in the world and under someone like Keegan hes be a world beater. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Ben Arfa's inconsistency might hold some weight if he wasn't dropped every other game and we had an alternative to come in and impact the game. Fact is the alternatives are not worth talking about and his treatment compared to some others are a joke. Personally i don't really care if he is inconsistent, he's still now Cabaye has gone our best attacking option along with Remy by far. Fact there's even a debate about him on here, among the coaching staff or anywhere else is a joke IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I wouldn't say Sissoko is lazy. I would, certainly up there with the laziest we've had in the past few years. Numerous times he lost the ball today and just stood there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Strange performance I thought. Some good running and dribbling to put them on the back foot, a good cross for Cisse's header over the bar and again for his goal. But 2 passages of play stood out for me on a more negative note. 1st one was when HBA did very well to win the ball meaning Cisse could break from inside our own half on the right hand side touchline but when he did so HBA stood still and didn't bust a gut to break with him. 2nd was when we had the ball for quite a long period and no one would pass to HBA even though at times in the move he was free, in space and made himself available. Players in question were Anita, Sissoko and Tiote iirc. After the move broke down HBA went towards the touchline with his arms out wide complaining to Carver about it as it was visibly obvious they had appeared to deliberately not pass to him which was very strange.

I was going to say that as well it did seem like people were avoiding passing to him. Thought I was imagining that. You didn't imagine it, at times he looked half arsed and not fit but at that moment he was looking for the ball and no one passed to him. I think carver then told him to go looking for it as he went in the middle more and made it hard for people to ignore him and he made a couple of runs with the ball but didn't pass to anyone himself!

ponsaelius Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Ben Arfa did do well to create the chance for Cisse, otherwise before that it was a typical performance from him. Neat tricks, loses poessesion after being too ball greedy etc. It was the change in formation that helped us more than his sub imo. Yeah, neat tricks, try things, set up the goal and other chances. What a cunt he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 There's unrest within the squad about BA's attitude and unless he bucks his ideas up he needs to go for his own good. He's a fantastic player completely pissing his best years away. If we can't motivate him we should move him on. I'd rather watch him be brilliant for some other team than be a fraud for us. It's criminal what's happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's looked quite motivated when given a run of games and you mentioned his fitness earlier, odd isn't it that a player who plays games can be fit and motivated but isn't when he doesn't play. I wonder what we should do about that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just what I've been told and looking at him, his performances and his team mates it strikes more than a cord of truth from what I've seen on the pitch. He's the size of a young Gazza now or Tommy Cassidy on a bad day. You can't let yourself go like that and keep respect within the squad. I love the bloke, but he's having a laugh at the moment .
