Scotty66 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 How the f*** does Jonas get a start after his performance against Villa. Didn't Pardew say the players have to perform to keep their place? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 It's one of Pardew's things isn't it? Doesn't change a winning team if possible. Disappointed he's not starting MYM, Taylor will have to throughly play himself out of the team before Pardew will drop him I expect. Jonas instead of Marv I can understand, Marveaux may not be up to starting after his knock. Of course when he does come on it'll be for Gouffran, not Jonas, regardless of how they both look. Don't mind Perch playing if having a designated sitter allows Cabaye more license to get forward. It's a shit thing. Play your best players*. Aye, didn't say I liked it. Just not surprised. Same with Raylor and Santon last year. Raylor had to basically go out and puke on his own face before Pardew dropped him. Ben Arfa and Obertan too.

Tooj Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Perch I'm not bothered about, it's not starting Yanga-Mbiwa that is pissing me off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I don't necessarily agree with "play your best players" as a given either like, but when the gulf in quality is so apparent you're an idiot not to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Everyone chill the f*** out, there was the same reaction before Villa and we won, with the first half being some of the best football we've played all season. When it doesn't work, slate him then. Is what you meant. Did we lose to Villa? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 People expected different? No. But it's still worthy of pointing out how shit and horrible it is. No way should you accept shit things just because they become the norm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I don't have any hate for Perch, or Taylor, or even Jonas. The problem is that we have considerably better players on the bench, to varying degrees. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Perch I'm not bothered about, it's not starting Yanga-Mbiwa that is pissing me off. Ditto. I have no idea what Anita has done to deserve dropping, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Jonas is starting Chelsea. Marveaux is allergic to defending. If there is one thing you can say for sure with Pardew, it is that he values defensive shape above all and in a match like this, you cannot expect him to play Sylvain. The only thing that truly annoys me is Yanga-Mbiwa being on the bench, but I believe I understand what Pardew is thinking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 People expected different? Nope but it still doesn't make it anymore of a joke tbh, i still think we can win the game but even so that really isn't the point is it. We went through this before with Obertan and R.Taylor and Pardew would never drop them, because we win the game doesn't make it the right choice.

TRon Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Play Perch by all means. Play Jonas. Just playing both together is maybe a bit too defensive even against Chelsea, at least when we are at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Makes me laugh people talking about quality on the bench. Shola will be on after an hour regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Colo and Saylor have a good understanding of each other. As much as we'd like to, you can't just lob a foreign CB in and expect instant results. Understandable selection. Jonas is the only choice that worries me, still strangely confident though.

Surely there's justification in expecting exactly the same of Pardew again if he's started the same team again then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always expected Jonas to start, Santon has been better with Jonas back nomatter how shit Jonas is. However, playing Saylor over MBiwa? WTF? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
