KaKa Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I used to love Gouff when he first joined, and he was on the wing then. He's too good a guy man, as he listens to everything Pardew says, and it has ultimately ruined him. Tracks back so far, and so often that he is genuinely unable to impact the game in forward areas anymore, as he is just worn out mentally and physically.

TRon Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I like Gouffran but think Pardew viewing him as a wing-back due to his work rate hinders him. Use him as a back up centre-forward and I think he'd be useful. Can't believe he hasn't told Pardew to fuck off yet. Playing him as a left wing back for two seasons man. Unbelievable.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 First things first, he is being played out of position every single game and we are never ever going to see the best of him out wide, or indeed under Pardew. If Pardew insists on him being out wide then he should not be anywhere near the starting 11, he offers nothing and has offered nothing since December. The fact that Aarons wasn't even on the bench today proves how terrible Pardew is. No matter who we buy we will always be held back under Pardew, to some extent.

TRon Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Well I suppose you could argue we didn't concede any goals so job done as far as Pardew is concerned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is HBA getting excused for Pardew playing him "out of position" and not him? He's a forward. Play him upfront and he'll cause more problems for defenders with his running and will get you the odd goal here and there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I'm starting to hate this guy and it's not his fault, it's his buffoon of a manager who plays him in a role that is killing our creativity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 He's in the side to hold his position, take up space, run about a bit and help his full back. From this perspective he's an 8/10 every week, so it's no wonder he's a permanent fixture. No point giving him grief, he's just Jonas in a younger body thanks to Pardew.

Yorkie Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I remember when this guy was a very decent member of the side. He's a very decent player, too. Brings less than nowt to the team in his present role, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Gouffran is the new Jonas - play him anywhere there's a gap as he works hard. Sad thing he's actually a decent footballer but we're not playing anywhere near his strengths so the fans will start to turn on him through no fault of his own.

Ste Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I still like the guy but think he's never been that good at assisting, so once the goals dried up it's natural to start questioning his place. I want to see two genuine wingers on the pitch at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I appreciate his hard work and I understand how difficult it must be for him, as a former striker, to fundamentally change his game from scoring/creating to defending his FB but this is getting ridiculous. He's simply no threat any longer, this may be him playing poorly or the role he's been given but he looks a waste of a shirt and has done for quite some time now. I don't want to hate him but I do hate what's happened to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 We should be picking our wingers based on who is going to create and chip in with goals and assists. Instead we're selecting them on work rate and ability to protect the full back in our bastardised 4-5-1. Gouff's looked ok when he's been played up front but the guy just isn't a wide midfielder and never will be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
