Is it unfair to say Pardew is going to get criticised either way here? Rest players => what are you doing Pardew? Play strong team => what are you doing Pardew? There will always be a few "what the fuck are you doing!?" "Typical Pardew" posts in the pre-match thread. I would have done a few things different but it's still very http://gifsoup.com/imager.php?id=100077&t=o Fer me lyke! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entirely believable as Pardew's rationale. We're at home looking to press our advantage, let's prioritise the defensive qualities of an attacking role The most bizarre thing isn't that he prioritises defence over attack, it's more that he thinks Obertan tracks back well.

Hanshithispantz Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Pardew is a fucking froot loop like One minute he looks like he will never veer from a rigid 4-4-2, the next he's playing 3-5-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Obertan has looked good in Europe to be fair to him, I'd rather him on the wing than Marveaux. Really cannot see the problem here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Tbf many have said on here Marveaux doesn't look like a winger and I have started to agree. I think his competition is more likely Sissoko than Jonas or Obertan. That's why we need a winger/wing forward in the summer to compete with HBA and Gouffran.

oldtype Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Disappointed that Haidara isn't getting a start and flabbergasted that Jonas isn't getting a rest. The rest of it makes sense I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While i agree, i would rather see Marveaux and Jonas or Obertan but none the less i'm to bothered about it tbh it is his reasons that bother me. I think the team overall is pretty strong and i'm quite happy to see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given what we've got, he's probably the best RB in the Europa squad. No problem at all playing him in the position that he'll probably need to play the rest of the tournament at Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
