Jagten Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 There is a picture from training today of pardew speaking directly to a group consisting of: Krul Simpson Colo Williamson Santon Raylor Cabaye Tiote Jonas Ba Cisse ...Starting XI? Most would've guessed that so it's likely. Yes... The selection of raylor saddens me a little. Becoming fairly evident where ben arfa's future lies..

Dr Venkman Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 The thing is, Ben Arfa's the sort of player we need to take us up a level next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I appreciate people's disappointment and share some of it myself, but in fairness it's the same side that beat Man Utd with Cisse in place of Shola... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embarrassing if we let Ben Arfa go yet keep Ryan Taylor around the first XI next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagten Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 This is hardly the first time pardew has been prone to keeping good players out of a team, in favour of shit ones. Just ask mascherano. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I know Obertan hasn't done very well but I liked the idea of pace and athleticism in our side. Raylor isn't any of them, as much of a hard worker he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 That first twenty minutes against QPR with Taylor right of a four was as bad as we've been all season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 While I take Rich's point about that being the same side that beat Man Utd (apart from Shola for Cisse), this will be more of a Swansea or Wigan type game where the onus will be on us (excuse the pun) to break them down. With Ba and Cisse we certainly have a good chance, and in fairness to Raylor - for whatever reason - he's been getting assists all season. Personally, whilst I'd be upset to see HBA miss out on the starting line-up, I think it'd be a tenable decision - if not one that I would choose myself. If we don't get the rub of the green and we fail to pry them open, or if we're profligate in possession and get done at the other end, he'll deserve criticism if he subsequently isn't bold in his choice and timing of substitutions.
