DJ_NUFC Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Precisely. It's easier to teach HBA to defend and be on the backfoot once in a while instead of teaching Shola how to play football or Cisse the off-side rule. When Cabaye played that beautiful fucking curves pass across the pitch to Cisse I was fuming. Even if the linesman had it wrong, even they have come to expect it from him. Fuck's sake.

Guest toon01 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Cisse was born offside and is currently trying to still get back to the right side of the oppostions back for, unfortunately his compass is very broken and ends up get no where near onside!

The Prophet Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Players like Marv and Ben Arfa are redundant under Pardew, might as well flog the pair of them and buy two hard working wide men with decent delivery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I'd start trying him on the left, to be honest. I don't buy it that he can't play there, a lad as talented as him can manage, he just needs to adapt and use his brain more than he does on the right.

Cajun Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Don't see why he can't play on the right, he even had the tracking back thing sorted until Pardew tried to break what he fixed for some odd reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he can play on the right, I just think he needs a spell on a side where he can't cut in as much. I think it'd make him a better player.

His first appearance for us springs to mind, he was pretty damn good then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 There's more times he's played on the left badly than the one isolated instance he played well there when none of the teams in the league knew who he was. I'd rather believe he's just shit there and the debut was a fluke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather believe he's just s*** there and the debut was a fluke. I know, I'm just saying I can't think of too many times he's had a run there, the Everton games are the only ones that spring to mind for me. I do think his best position is on the right but I think a spell on the left would improve him, I think he needs to add more variety to his game and not always being able to cut in would help that.

Mole_Toonfan Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 He's not had a run there that is true.... but he has started the odd game there i'd probably say about 10 in his career here. He's been bad there every time other than his debut, all in all he just looks uncomfortable. Really its right side or nothing at all and i don't think work rate is the main issue its the lack of end product combined with the work rate. If he consistently would produce in the final third i think he'd start even against the big teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hopefully the time out will have him coming in guns blazing against Norwich after the break, something to prove here. Think he needs his chance again now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Drop shola play Ben arfa as a extra right winger lol I suspect Benny is finished at the club sadly, not playing the important games will lead him to be looking to move on, when he's let back in the side he really needs to work his socks off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Think Pardew is happy with the extra protection Gouffran and Sissoko gives the FBs, and Hatem will have to be at his very best to come in over the competition. Should be interesting the next few games though. We've got the 2 toughest matches over and have lesser teams coming up. Norwich is next and we should show attacking intent. Debuchy is suspended for that match leading to changes in team dynamics. And then we have 4 yellows a piece on Cabaye and Sissoko so two of our midfielders are likely to be suspended before the turn of the year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Don't see why we couldn't play the 442 from today and just put Hatem in for Shola. Shola offered absolutely nothing. Pele he isn't, but did he really offer 'absolutely nothing'? He held the ball up well a few times and brought others into play. He does offer something, even if you may legitimately feel that the package that others can bring would be better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, I'm not usually one of Shola's big critics but I just don't remember him doing much. With most of Remy's forward breaks he wasn't even in the picture.
