Mick Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Ryann Taylor, Perch and Best is a poor line up against a mid table team at home. Pardew really is spineless, we should still win but it might be a stinker to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Banaloona Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Starting to get worried about his reluctance to accomodate Ben Arfa. Why accommodate him when his performances haven't been up to par never mind above par? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I'm almost expecting Cisse not to make it onto the pitch... It's the Pardew way. Cisse is his player. Much the way Obertan was his player. Ben Arfa was, is and ever will be Hughton's player. Pards signed him? Not in the same way like all the other new signings, though. It was more a case of keeping him rather than signing him. He's alrady been here... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best will be back uptop where he has played well this season and Perch will let Guthrie play the playmaking role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Why the fuck wouldn't Cissé come on? I must be missing something here. He's fit, that's why he's on the bench. If we need a goal he's our best goalscorer. If we're already comfortable then he'll come on to be welcomed to the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

healthyaddiction Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Ba works well with Best and Perch has been doing well in the holding role so I can understand those. Ryan Taylor on the right I think is a big mistake though. Only thing I can think of is Pardew is afraid of N'Zogbia so wants lots of effort on the right.

Theregulars Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 As I've said a lot recently, pares has us challenging for Europe, so gets the benefit of my doubt. I love hba but last 2 games he was shit like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Also raylor is an obvious inclusion for dead ball situations. Need someone on free kicks and corners with cabaye out. Makes sense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that house, there's a TV, that isn't your real favourite but you can't go out at the moment and buy a new one straight away. Do you keep the TV? Yes you do.

If Ben Arfa can't make the first XI when we have Cabaye + Tiote back, then we have a problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the things continue for him like that. On what evidence? If Ben Arfa can't make the first XI when we have Cabaye + Tiote back, then we have a problem "If things continue for him like that" If he plays when Cabaye and Tiote are back than of course it wouldn't have continued for him. But he won't stay here if he isn't an automatic first choice player come the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
