  1. Best deserved to get back into the team for how him and Ba linked up earlier in the season. He's been there on merit.

     

    However, he's now put in a couple of very poor performances in a system that is no longer as efficient as it was. Pardew has annoyingly stuck to it even though teams might have sussed it. See Swansea, WBA games and first half at Bolton.

     

    Just like fucking Obertan he now deserves to be dropped. Hopefully we'll see what we saw from the 60th minute at Bolton start against the Racists.

  2. Obertan has had 18 games. How much more time does he need?

     

    There are fundamental flaws with the way he plays. Not only does he not produce much, he also has the annoying habit of slowing down our play to a halt. He doesn't really tailor his game to the runs of our forwards or players around him. He is adamant on having his 5-6 touches of the ball no matter what.

     

    Not a question of giving up hope completely just yet, but he's deserved to be dropped.

  3. He might not track back much but it never stopped Keegan playing Ginola and Bobby playing Robert.

     

    And the crazy thing is someone like Obertan or Sammy doesn't offer anything more defensively anyway. He very much is a luxury we CAN afford. Given the recent results and especially performance we can't afford not to play him.

  4. Daliglish has become such an embarrassment. He's come out with utter biased nonsense all season, even before all this.

     

    Not surprising he was leading the way over the whole t shirt thing. Several anti racism have criticised the stunt yet there's no backing down from anyone over at LFC and especially not their senile king.

     

    "I think that is the least he deserves," added Dalglish, who said Suarez had been "quite emotional and very grateful" for the support he had received.

    Suarez was his usual self against Wigan judging by MOTD. Claiming for everything, diving about, crying and getting people booked. Something is really messed up if he is still getting away with it without adding a racism charge in the mix.

  5. How come? Although I have noticed that when I put all the basic contract cards I've got in packs straight up for 'buy now' 250, they've gone within seconds. Missed out on a bit of dosh then.

  6. I think, given Cabaye's absence, Pardew will be tempted to play Abeid/Vuckic just in front of Tiote. Whether that means he'll want the creativity lost through Dreamboat's absence to be supplied by BenArfa, is another matter. A worry for me is if he were to play Tiote as a lone central midfielder with Ben Arfa behind two strikers the opposition midfield would overrun Cheik (or pass around him). Personally, I'd play a 4-1-3-1-1 with Tiote behind Abeid behind Ben Arfa behind Ba. However, Ba has played well alongside a physical striker like BEst. Doesn't mean he can't play well with a slighter, more dynamic partner, but I get the impression Pardew doesn't like to tinker

     

    We should certainly not be looking to break up Best-Ba and especially not at home.

     

    Playing Ben Arfa next to Tioté isn't necessarily the only answer, but it's just Pardew has defined HBA as a number 10 and because we don't really play with a playmaker if Cabaye is there, hasn't put Benny anywhere. Wednesday seems like the very definition of a situation where he'd use HBA. If he doesn't it would just continue this worrying trend.

     

    And for HBA to be behind Sammy and Vuckic seemingly at any position in midfield is frustrating.

  7. If Tioté is fit the next game, it means the player picked to play next to him could be in the position defined by Pardew when talking about Ben Arfa as a number 10. Higher up in the centre and behind the strikers.

     

    Might he start then?

  8. He brought on Vuckic too to play in midfield. :lol:

     

    So he's decided Benny's not to be played in central midfield either?

     

    It's pathetic. One the best players we can hope to attract being systematically and deliberately alienated.
