I cannot beleive that you have watched the same game as I did! He was a footballing coward tonight, every time he got the ball he took the negative route or the easy pass without actually stepping up and trying to create.

I have liked him the last three games but tonight he was abysmal...heart of a pea

Aye, we all watched Newcastle - Everton, you were probably watching the Fiorentina - Parma game.

You need to watch it again seriously. Tonight Vurnon Anita iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssssssss Scot Parker at his piroueting negative best.... Take it away Vurnon!!!!

Yes he completed many a pass tonight but they were all bland and wet in my opinion. He had about twenty opportunities to make a run into space or to carry the ball and draw players in before releasing and he always took THE EASY OPTION. This resulted us in being toothless in the middle of the park. second half he had a five minute spell where I think he suffered a bout of shame and knew he had to make an effort.

As long as it was a one off ...

I thought he was lost in the first half, too nervous on the ball, not able to impulse the rythm forward, refused too many times a pass to a free Ben Arfa in the left  etc. (don't get me wrong Hatem was shit each time he confronted Coleman, but it was really just 3 or 4 attempts to take him on)

He was better in the second half before Pardew took him off...mainly because Cabaye took the keys of the game in the middle.

Anyway, The midfield 3 should always be : Cabaye - Anita - Sissoko.

Wasn't at the game but going off the extended highlights, I'd say the improved performance probably had more to do with Cabaye than Tiote. I think Pardew will always go back to his tried and trusted combination of those two though. It's unfortunate for Vurnon but just how it is.
