Aeris 0 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Who will be the first to come off and on for us? The person who'd like an early Shola must've had a recent stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Excellent first half. Whatever the result, Pardew needs some credit for getting the new lads and Jonas playing superbly. Can't believe that yellow for Perch, so harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrossthepond 878 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Brilliant first half. Poor delivery from Jonas but apart from that he's done everything right. Gouffran and Sissoko look incredible, Cabaye dominating the game, back line solid, great assist by Santon. Only Cisse let us down with what should've been a simple finish. Let's not see another second-half collapse. Chelsea will probably come out swinging and we have to be ready for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4857 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Holy christ what a difference Cabaye makes - what a solid performance from all of them. Apart from that silly tackle even Perch has had a blinder. He really is immense when hes fit, shows what we've been missing with him not being 100% earlier in the season Having Sissoko with him covering so much of the pitch with quality is making a big difference to him as well I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Cabaye really showing the player he is in that half, completely dominant. Everyone looks great so far need to come out and dominate the midfield like we did there no sitting back please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack 9927 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Perch booked so in howard webbs mind that was the same severity of misdemeanor as ramires on Jonas Said exactly the same thing to my lads, bloody ridiculous isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinh9 0 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Cabaye is a player of the utmost quality. I've literally been laughing at some of the stuff he's done. World class and we are a totally different team with him in the first XI. Cisse should have 2 by now, really. And the much-maligned (by me) Jonas with a great finish. Fantastic first 45. Hope Ba is alright- that was some nasty shit- at least a concussion I'm sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 4222 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Brilliant so far. Cisse really should have scored one at least too. Cabaye has been superb. So happy for Jonas too, although attack wise he's been poor generally. Good to see all the lads go him to celebrate too, they appreciate the stick he has taken for the team this seaon. Lets hope we dont do what we did against Villa, sit back and we could still lose this. Test for Pardew. Need more of the same, good calm stuff in midfield. Not sitting back and inviting pressure like we usually do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4222 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Cant help but feel sorry for Ba, wish he handnt been booed while going off because by then it was obvious he really was injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinh9 0 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Gouffran by the way has been the 2nd best player on the pitch behind Cabaye for us. Omnipresent, causing trouble, playing smart football. Pleasure to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4821 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Very impressed with Goufran. The outcome of the game depends upon the words Monsieur Pardoo is whispering right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loonyTOON 10 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I reckon Cabaye is playing like a trooper recently because he's playing with his best pal! We look so good - I love watching Cabaye, Sissoko and Gouffran on the ball. Gouffran is like a silent assassin waiting to pounce. He just does his job (well) and I can't recall many times he's lost the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 4222 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Yup Gouffran and Sissoko seem so settled, like they've been playing here for ages. More of the same please! Agree with CT that the outcome of this game depends mostly on how Pards sets us up for the second half now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinh9 0 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Let me tell you though, I'm just pleased to have had that 45 minutes of pleasurable football under our belts. Been a while since I've smiled and clapped so much watching our match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
