Wullie Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Full strength and go for a win. Nothing else will do. Surely as long as you get through with minimal amount of squad damage, it's a good night. The aim is just to be in the next round, that's all that will do regardless of who is selected. The games don't exist in isolation though. The players need some goals and confidence. They won't get any of that from sitting at home whilst the reserves squeeze through. Quite possibly, but your also running the risk of injuring a Ben Arfa for Saturday or longer. Liverpool lost Toure/Allen/Cissokho though injury, easily done. Could have been a Sturridge or Gerrard. I’d prefer we went through with the kids out but obviously that carries a bigger risk of going out, a mixture of both would suffice for me. I don’t fancy seeing HBA playing that’s for sure though. When Ben Arfa's walking down the street, he could trip and break his leg, or someone could crash into his car. We can't make him a Bubble Boy ( "Moops!" ) I just don't subscribe to the theory that we must wrap players in cotton wool as much as possible. We treat footballers as if playing football is the absolute worst thing they can do for their health and I'm bloody sick of it. A risk ffs. I watch football to be entertained by my team playing good stuff and scoring goals, not to watch some blokes not getting injured. "Great game tonight, awful drab football but wow, they all looked fine at the end" Good God man. Certain players with a history record like Ben Arfa's don't need to play in games like this? Half the people on here were furious when he got injured in an away leg of the Europa Cup and sure enough Pardew took all the blame for it on here for selecting him, now he should be starting against Morecambe! Good God man. There is no winning with some, like. The club will always be doing something wrong. This doesn't apply when things are going well, I should add. Although, I'm not sure if that applies to Wullie, like. How utterly tedious. I was extremely happy when Chris Hughton was here and we were pumping rival teams by five and six goals. Just because you're happy with your main man churning out months without a goal doesn't mean that's right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Depends on the quality of the pitch for hatem IMO. If its league 2 standard and resembles a mine field i suggest keeping him for the weekend. God knows he could do with the run out though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 We're not talking about 17-18 year olds thrown in at the deep end in an injury crisis, we're talking about footballers on big contracts, under 21 internationals, players who've played in Europe, in the Premier League. They should be remembering how shit they were at Brighton etc, and using that experience to make sure they don't feel like that after tonight. Pardew deserves most of the shit he's been getting, but I think he's bang on there tbh. Too simplistic. Every quote has a hidden agenda, surely you know this by now. Praise poor performances and he's a fraudulent cunt full of excuses. Criticise poor performances and he's an evil cunt draining the confidence out of our brave young players like a big managerial dementor. I fully understand why people jump on every single quote made by the manager when we're playing shit, it's just tedious as owt. Aye, sadly there is no balanced debate and criticism of Pardew any more. Like you say when he speaks he's a cunt, if he stays quiet he's a cunt. He picks a full strength team he's a cunt, he picks squad players he's a cunt. There's a lynch mob mentality on here and every word he says will be used or twisted against him. Don't really mind the genuine NUFC fans who are out for him but it's obvious that there are some outside stirrers enjoying the ride as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
