Aeris

I'm speaking of the last two matches. He's been dissapointing. We're probably just lost in translation...per usual..

Jonas on the right? but aye, other than that, that's a side I'd like to see turn out. And sufficiently robust to permit Ben Arfa and Vuckic a bit more freedom. Has he proved himself being worthy the left side lately? Not very...

True Ba has absolutely no use of having Best as a partner atm. They might have had some minor romance in the beginning, but I guess that was just pure luck... I'd also like to see Jonas play on his right foot side for once, maybe he can manage some more crosses like... Vuckic has definitely proved he can be made use of, and Obertan needs to fuck off for a while. I hope also this was the last we've seen of Perch in central defense.

what?! how can you live with yourself

http://www.dailymail...ess-streak.html Yohan Cabaye will return to the Newcastle squad for the Boxing Day trip to Bolton. The Frenchman missed the 3-2 home defeat by West Brom on Wednesday evening through suspension, but is likely to go straight back into the team at the Reebok Stadium. Full-back Davide Santon is being assessed after limping out of the Baggies game with a knee problem at half-time and midfielder Danny Guthrie (groin) is still a doubt, while striker Peter Lovenkrands could be sidelined for up to three weeks by a calf injury. Central defender Steven Taylor (achilles) is expected to sit out the rest of the season and midfielder Dan Gosling completes his three-match ban. Provisional squad: Krul, Elliot, Harper, Simpson, R. Taylor, Santon, Ferguson, Perch, Coloccini, Williamson, Kadar, Tiote, Cabaye, Obertan, Ben Arfa, Gutierrez, Sammy Ameobi, Abeid, Vuckic, Smith, Ba, Best, Shola Ameobi. A 6 game winless run now. Will this finally come to an end? Do we have what it takes to beat the next to worst team in PL? Tbf I'm not sure, but I would say playerwise yes, tacticalwise no we need changes. So let's if Pardew can conjure up something fresh to get us the 3 points we desperately need to keep us safe inside top 10 and close to the top flight (which I do hope everyone expects after such good beginning of the season). Feel free to post your predictions and analysis of whatever aspect of the match you find suitable.

We've got Obertan's dribble and pass "precision" and non-ballwinning effort, Perch's man-marking-alzheimer, Best's 100% pure baffling juicelessness....and Hatem is on the bench as a luxury player.

point is, we can do with a more offensive style play, and it's not luxury just because we play 1 player who doesn't have a backtracking role. what the fuck... jesus wept when he heard about pardew...

Jesus fucking wept. you have to read my posts like I was a crappy stand-up comedian. To be fair to me, it's hard to tell when you're being serious or not. Your posts all blur together. I'm here to test your intelligence, dude.

Jesus fucking wept. you have to read my posts like I was a crappy stand-up comedian.

it's africa's revenge on european colonialists... we're sorry but you can't use our players for this abysmal period of time, because we like to fuck up the teams depending on them.

They've got at least half a team who's totally reluctant to defensive work, and you mean our team is so bad we can't even have one or two?...

You're #1 on my hatelist now, cunterhead. By lack of defense, I mean the defensive sacrifice of having good offensive players tracking back. I'm pretty sure I've got proof that none of those 4 players I mentioned tracks much back. A good offense is the best defense, haven't you heard?...fucking dumb fag.

I don't think someone like David Silva, Sami Nasri, Balotelli, Aguero etc. track back that much either. Doesn't really seem to matter in the team picking since they all play at the same time, and they contribute to great attacking football, and isn't a good offense making up for lack of defense?

they should be nicknamed "the rednecks" from now on.

and david n'gog left to bolton... I really don't understand why

If Obertan only had the support from us, like Suarez gets from his Livercirrhosis supporters.... who am I kidding, he'd still be utter garbage :/

Are we suddenly comparing a Vuckic with a Tiote now?...

How many times does this specific discussion repeat itself weekly?...it's a bore to read this bitching over and over in every god damn thread

of course, one bad game leads to another.

He set up Ba's second goal. He'll get the assist, but he played it 2 yards behind Ba, that goal was all about ba who controlled and laid it off, then reacted fastest to the loose ball. It was played into space to be fair though which was much more than best managed. ben arfa's ball to ba couldn't possibly have been played in a better area atm, he was just lucky it was ba because the way he changed his direction and almost neglecting momentum couldn't have been done by just any striker. feckin amazing striker.

Best looks like he is on his usual "I don't give a shit"-run. Couldn't really see a man who deserves playing football at a pro-level... worse than Obertan even. Would've at least been 3-3 without him seeing his most involved moment was when he was cancelling out Ba's hattrick.. if Ben Arfa had played from start he would've kept West Brom busy and on their back foot a lot more this match. Could've been a two-man show instead of a one-man show.

with the shite display he's had last two matches maybe we'll get to keep him.

yes he does, when he's fully fit and back in form he definitely does.
