Not only Marveaux in for Obertan, but Pardew needs to get Santon into the side, RTaylor has done good so far, but if he can be turned by Wigan and QPR what happens when we face the likes of City and ManU. Our new fullback needs games now to get up to speed for those games, we can not play a fill in player against the top sides.. they'll sherd him and us if we do.

RTaylor is not a left back, he has done on ok job but we need to get Santon in, we could also do with a solid right back Simpson is forever being caught out of position.... great start but thats what it is a start AP needs to know how to kick-on when your winning not to wait untill we begin to lose. beat Stoke and we could be second next week....hwtl

Agree0 Disagree0

We need to beat stoke and everton really, because we have 3 really hard fixtures in a row, and a point from any of them will be amazing.

Agree1 Disagree0

I think Raylor will stay in the team either as LB with santon coming in at RB or moving over to RB and santon going in the left. Either way I think we will still bring in another full back in Jan.

No not a great showing by any standard, however it was good to see Pardew bringing on Ben Arfa and changing formations. The 442 wasn't working, just lobbing balls to Ba and Best. Wigan were running the midfield and Cabaye was having a hard time influencing the game. Once Benny came on the link up play was much better (yes his touch was a little heavy at times, but he needs minutes to get it back).

And not that it should have to be said, but Marveaux MUST start next game. His touch and final ball are light years better that Obertan. Marveaux effected the game more in 15 minutes than the man he replaced did in the first 75.

This win and first half performance are perfect reasons/chance to change the starting 11 for Stoke. Normally you wouldn't change anything on a winning streak (we haven't for weeks). But because of the poor manner in which we won today, hopefully Pardew will use the opportunity to alter things slightly (don't wait for a loss).

I do not want to hear "the same 11 start this week that started and won last week".... Because the starting 11 did not get it done today, the 11 that finished did!

Marveaux's touch always seem to be spot on. But I noticed Ben Arfa seemed to pull out of challenges I hope this is just temporary however his run and shot shows he still has his ability.

One thing that's abit worrying for me is it's not just Tiote picking up bookings Cabaye is picking up quite a few aswell every game Tiote doesn't pick up a booking Cabaye does.
