Start Anita instead of Ameobi and possibly Ben Arfa instead of Gouff and I'd say we win that game 9 times out of 10. Shocking line up and then I think what turned it from an inevitable draw into a loss was obviously Debuchy's stupidity.

The problem with Pardew is he frustrates OUR OWN players into mistakes and red cards with his negative tactics.  We don't frighten anyone as we never get out of second gear and just lump aimless crosses into the box for a striker with no league goals in 2013.

The game was crying out for Ben Arfa from the off today, all Shola did was foul Ollson or give him the chance to pretend he had been fouled.

 

That was it, we basically played 10 men and a hand full of fouls to West Brom.

He's a clueless manager, absolutely clueless.  He makes noises about having tired players so what does he do?  He makes one change and he brings in the most immobile player at the club who has the movement of a corpse, how does that change anything?  Shola's contribution today was to get called off-side, give away fouls and lose possession and none of that should be unexpected because it's typical of him, it's no surprise, or it shouldn't be.

 

People can blame Debuchy for his sending off but the manager should also share the blame because he set us up in a way which had us under pressure from a team who hadn't won in 10 games yet he did nothing to give us an edge, it was the reverse.  He allowed tired players to play while we had fresh legs sitting on the bench who could have given us a sharpness that we didn't have.

See all of last season. The bloke's a parasite.

I wish that was true, we frighten me quite often.

Pardew deserves the bile today. Poor starting line up, made more baffling by his pre match quotes about resting players like Cabaye. Trying to find a positive, sounds like Ameobi put in another compelling argument for how badly we need a new striker in the window.

It could be worse if Stoke hadn't got two men sent off last week we'd have lost three on the bounce.

 

As much nonsense as saying we would have won today if Debuchy hadn't been sent off.

 

Both games the teams were pretty even until the cards.

I don't get to many games these days but I was there for that one, and we were 1-0 down and second best until their player had a brain fart and got sent off.

We were second best by the score alone, there is no way we were definitely going to lose that. Both sides were just as bad as each other, one had just managed a very good goal which Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Remy etc.. are just as capable of scoring.

The first thing he'll say is "we wuz tired today" or somesuch shit.

 

We did look knackered tbf - the comeback is that he has a full squad of players to choose from, yet players like Sissoko and Gouffran are blowing out of their arse.
