If Gouf isn't injured then i'd like Pardew to explain his methods. Take Gouf off, shift Sissoko over to his position for 10 minutes then sub him? what's that all about? Sissoko wasted on left and never touched ball. I may get hammered for this but to me Ben Arfa is a 10 minute impact sub unless he loses a stone in weight. Ameobi should be allowed to leave in January to a championship side to get game time. If Ben Arfa had not been selfish, he could have laid it to one of four players to smack home instead of finding the side netting. Good fighting last 15 minutes but let's face it, we never really looked like a goal.

Thought you looked dangerous a couple of times, especially our back pass to the keeper!

Your midfield battled hard and fair sometimes but just lacked that something special up front as Per and Kos were beasts

Good luck for rest of the season - would be nice to see the Toon do well

Tough game today!
