Typical performance, fantastic first half dominance, movement on and off the ball but second half we just sat back, at least the pressure didn't get to us when we conceded.
Yes it did get to all of us fans thinking here we go again but the team held out
Fortunately if Anita is happy to come on as sub the thing is working & the decision to leave Cisse on the bench is a good one but we have to decide
what to do about HBA as he is our best footballer
WBA will be a tester & Pardew needs decide the back 4 as Collo did not look
match fit but perhaps a weeks training will help
Vida, i'm not sure about coloccini, he's got his head turned, he's a limited defender like williamson, whereas m'biwas got pace and is a ball playing defender. Debuchy needs to come in for cool I think.
For colo*
JToon your kidding right? Colo is by far our best defender and easily one of our best players in possession. Mwiba is getting better by the game but to say Colo is limited is crazy. He want to go back home fair enough but don't use that as excuse to call him limited.
He's getting on, didn't you see him against norwich? He was took out the game way too many times. He's not the player he used to be where he could bring the ball out of defence, was very tidy in possession, he's just not that anymore. Why change a back four of debuchy, willo, m'biwa, santon that kept clean sheets against chelsea and spurs?
