Today showed why we need a Quality striker
and that was the only difference between the teams
we played well but again that final 3rd was a problem for us

Bad decision for free kick that led to the goal
but we both needed a bit if luck and they got it

Agree about a change at LB apart from
that we were unlucky

Benny pass the ball man

I think someone like Gomis would be good to partner REMY because he is very strong and REMY is fast.

Agree0 Disagree0

Scoring 5 against Stoke and able to push up on the last part of the pitch but then we go defensive at home. Crazy
Never mind it was Arsenal we have looked better going forward for a long time and we did not do it until the last 20 minutes. Pardew has had the plaudits but that was crap we have proven we can compete when we attack especially at home. We gave them very little to concern them and yes it could have gone both ways and yes the free kick leading to the goal was dubious to say the least. But this guy gives daft decisions.

Thought we set up very well against a team which is he most in form in 2013, Anita was awful though today and Sissoko wasn't amazing either. Fans who are giving stick to Benny should eat their words, when he came on we did very well.

My Team For West Brom:

Krul
Debuchy--Collo--Willo--Haidara
Tiote--Cabaye--Sissoko
Ben Arfa--REMY--Gouffran

I would like to see M'biwa come back into them but I just can't see it happening for a while.
Also Santon will start ahead of Haidara but I think Haidara is a lot better.

What Team would you pick?

Anita was not awful. played wrll against very accomplished midfield. cabaye was a disappointment but can't be expected every game over xmas. sissoko was starved of the ball. 3pts against brom

Agree0 Disagree0

I just thought Anita had one of his bad days but we should go out and attack against west brom. When we brought n Ben Arfa we were dominant we just couldn't find the equaliser.

Agree0 Disagree0

Unfortunately Ben Arfa is a player that will never reach the level he should have.
Also gained respect for Pardew for the way he changed it up at the end but surely Marveaux would have offered more coming off the bench than a LB but yet again he's nowhere to be seen.

Agree0 Disagree0

Totally agree about that team, i'd push tiote and sissoko back a bit then cabaye more into a free role. Maybe swap benny with santon.

Agree0 Disagree0

You say put Ben Arfa LB?

Agree0 Disagree0

No santon maybe right wing

Agree0 Disagree0

Would prefer Haidara as LB and Ben Arfa as RW with Santon on the bench.

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!

Ben Arfa is just so bloody greedy. he had a fantastic game against stoke but he's just let himself down today. But I still think we are contenders for top 7. This was an arsenal side today who are the most in form side in 2013, and we pinned them back in the last 20 mins so there's not much else we could do. It was a dire game really. Although debuchy and tiote my man of the matches, debuchy especially, he was an absolute grafter. But ben arfa just needs to learn to make the right decisions where and when.

On to the next game though.

When we brought on Ben Arfa we played a lot better

Very nervous for this game Today worried we might be about to be turned over can see Walcott having a field day against Santon but there's always hope in football and fingers crossed the lads can do us proud like they have been doing the last few weeks.
