Ronaldo Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I think Cisse's without doubt a top 6 player. Cabaye too, but you need to play in a very certain way for him to be one. As for Tiote, not sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 How can you finish fifth with four "top six" players in the entire squad, one of whom didn't play until December and the only striker didn't score for three months? Just seems to me to be a desperate way to defend Pardew again - the idea that Cisse wouldn't get in the Arsenal team or the Spurs team (or presumably the Everton team seeing as we've apparently been dumped out of the top six) for example is just astonishing.

Guest Chubby Jason Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Cabaye wouldn't get into a Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea or Man City side. I think Tiote would be a solution to many of Man United's problems despite his poor use of the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 We're not playing to our players strengths and they don't seem motivated enough. If we were playing hoofball because we had Stoke's squads fair enough (though good god I'd want to hang myself) but we aren't, it's mystifying. I'm starting to think he's got the training all wrong and the more the squad train the worse at passing it they're getting or something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliMag Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I am a fan of Pardew but this season has been puzzling - I am not annoyed or angry just mystified. He is clearly trying new things and tweaking our formation every week - this is not entirely a bad thiing, but it isn't good either. I see that there is a lot of criticism about the players in this thread but I think we have a pretty good set of players right now and it's down to Pardew how inconsistant and poor most of them have been this season. Shola had a crap game today and it was entirely Pardew's fault for putting him out on the wing and trying something different well beyond his capabilities. Simpson had a poor game and was at fault for the goal but he had it all to do on the right as Shola did little to help him as an outlet and instead spent most of the time on a quiet stroll with WBA's LB. HBA was inconsistant today and this was because he was constantly adating to changes clearly made by Pardew. Play left wing, now start cutting inside more, now play on the right... meanwhile the rest of the team also has to adjust. As I mentioned in the match thread the changes he made in subs and formation were better but caused all sorts of chaos and it took time for the team to adapt. During that time they were running into eachother and trying to anticipate everyone's new roles but getting it wrong half the time and giving away possession. It was a mess. I would say the players coped well to what was clearly a confusing day at the office thanks to the boss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Starting Shola mind as a wide man was little short of baffling. Fair enough start the big man, but as a player he can only play in one position and it ain't as a winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I can't get my head around his decision making this year, today's set up was laughable. I really don't know where he's trying to take the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Tiote does not pass the ball quick enough to be a Man U player, sure he would do a great job off the ball but on the ball i'm not sure he's good enough for what they require. As for the whole top 6 thing.... i genuinely believe we have a top 6 team the issue at the moment is the manager is using what he has incorrectly. Is there 6 better XI's than this? Krul Simpson Saylor Colo Santon Tiote Cabaye Jonas Ben Arfa Cisse Ba I don't believe so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
