Ameobi -

 

Basically Cisse with the worst performance of the season by any of our players, while the subs made didnt work. Harper with his best performance in half a decade, still getting very little out of Cabaye.

Papering over the cracks a little, but unlike the mackems you're getting the point tally to make up for it. +3.

 

I think that at times - particularly in the first half - you shown glimpses of where you want to be, like Everton second half. So the potential is there.

 

:thup: 20 minute spell where we played some decent stuff.

The good and bad side of Obertan there. Started well then fell to pieces over a funny five minutes.

 

Absolutely awful performance from us at home again. Can pass, can't keep possession and bar Ben Arfa we are clueless coming forward.

 

Good performance from Perch, Williamson, Ba, Harper, Anita (at RB), Santon and Ben Arfa. Average at best for the rest.

A very lucky win for us, but a win is a win and I'll happily take it. Ba and Ben Arfa magic, again to save our arse.

 

What was lucky? We defended solidly & shouldve scored more.

 

Clean sheets arent lucky if the opposition cant outplay your defence.

Suppose you can't ignore the fact we're still missing Coloccini, Krul (and Simpson).  May have been a bit bolder going forward if more confident in our back 4.

 

Wouldn't bet on it though. :lol:

 

Simpson? That's a fucking advantage.

If Holt had started they would have scored at least 3, no question in my mind.

:lol: Well I think so too, Pardew might not when he's setting up the team though.

That pen fiasco changed the whole mood. We were really going up the gears at that point. Madness to let Cisse take it.

Based on what? The endless chances he created?

We definitely are missing Captain Colo's influence at the back both Taylor and Williamson both looked like lost chickens sometimes although I though Williamson had a good game overall.

Both Taylor and Williamson were like lost chickens there at times and we were riding our luck.
