TRC Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 He also said something along the lines of "we had 3 of our first choice midfield missing" in his post match comments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Well it's pretty clear that Ben Arfa isn't first choice, so I don't see how people are so suprised at Taylor getting a mention considering his only competition appears to be Gabriel Obertan. Personally i'll be estatic to see Taylor back in the side, he's a massive improvement. Against Wolves Obertan would be a massive improvement on himself, it's a lot easier for mediocre players to get by against mediocre teams. We will probably win against Wolves whether Obertan or Raylor play, the result will probably hinge on the strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novocastrian Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 We are missing Steven Taylor far more than Ryan Taylor. Raylor is a solid utility man who can put a shift in, in numerous positions. He isn't even the best player we have in any of those positions, bit of a strange comment from Pardew. Sounds like he was just trying to play the old 'we are missing player X,Y,Z' to cover his arse from the shambolic defensive display. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Been on an island with no electricity for a week. Looks like I picked a good one to miss. Glad to see that cunt Ben Arfa didn't get a game, that's some consolation at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Radio Newcastle was sickening this morning, with one of the presenters (Alfie Joey) being a mackem, making all sorts of jokes, and quips about the 5-0 scoreline. Strange, I thought it was Tottenham who beat us, not S*nderland, who we are still 9 points ahead of. Its a disease over there, they just cant help lining themselves up for humiliation ahead of a Derby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Defies belief doesn't it? Considering what happened last season AND the fact we've already beaten them at their place this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Pardew's comments are baffling at times like. Absolutely. Can't understand any manager of a team in contention for Europe saying 'its a game we could afford to lose'. Surely you don't give your opponents that much respect. We ought to be competing, even if we've our two first choice CMs out. His comments post-match do nothing to boost the confidence of the players that played on Saturday either.

loki679 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Buy young, sublimely talented, five times league championship winning french international. Play Ryan Taylor and Gabby Obertan. Does not compute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
