Aeris 0 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Spurts got themselves some nice buys at the end, Lloris and Dempsey particularly good signings, kept Bale. Some points lost in the beginning, but they are definitely not shite. Top 4 contender indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Also think Pardew was daft to talk about players heads been turned. Keep it in house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 On the wain? I love Pardew more than most, but why the fuck does he keep playing Gosling? He's shite. That is all. (Btw, my Wain forecasts while scoffed at are all coming good. Enrique and Tottenham waining away). On a long enough timeline you'll be right about everything. I predict man u will be on the Wayne. Bound to happen one year. You were saying they'd sink before last season.....which was one of their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I said something along the lines of they'd struggle to get back in the champions league and end up having to sell their star players. Anyway enough of this, I don't argue you with mods any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Btw, my Wain forecasts while scoffed at are all coming good. Enrique and Tottenham waining away). Pardew has made a lot of below average player acceptable - Perch, Guthrie, Simpson, Raylor, Best. Very finicky to expect more - moreso if its just because he plays Gosling in games we dont lose. Maybe you could be more specific about what you think he should be doing?

My issue is that Gosling is shite and those around me watching him also seem to comment on his shiteness. Surely Pardew too can see this and therefore should play someone else. I worry in case Pardew does not see said shiteness. Tis all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 31 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 He's only played a handful of games, you have to give him a chance man. Perch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 It's not a question of what you see of Gosling in the brief appearances he makes and Pardew not seeing it, it's a question of what Pardew sees in training which you don't, you tit.

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Goslings shite. Even Everton fans new he wasnt the real deal when we got him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 6 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Goslings shite. Even Everton fans new he wasnt the real deal when we got him. My point still stands. He played Gosling to rest others. We didnt lose in any of the games Gosling took part of, so what more is it you want? Hardly a reason to the the manager is on the wain? fwiw, Gosling was highly rated at Everton because he had a good engine on him and could get up and down the field. Injuries steeming back from his last season at Everton have meant he's never got his fitness back, so the Everton and Newcastle fans that dont rate him, arent really giving him a fair account. But to reiterate the point, we got the results we wanted with Gosling in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2bias 3 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I don't understand all this anti Gosling stuff. He is a good player and still young, I seem to remember Everton fans being pissed off when we got him and he seems very versatile when I've seen him play, can play in the centre of the park and was even used to play off the striker against Atromitos.

Phil 6 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'd rather get more convincing results with someone better in his place. So you'd have played Cabaye in 30 degree heat on the Thursday, then again on the Saturday away to Chelsea. Then this week play him on the Thursday and Sunday? What if the had he played him on Thursday and the game run 120 minutes? He had Cabaye on the bench and could bring him on, if needed. Moreover, In the first game he took Gosling off after 64 minutes and in the second game we were 1 nil up. So the risk was always minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy 12 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 How about some people getting real about the players we have. First of all, we are not Title contenders, yet we have come a long way in just a few years with the players Pardew has brought in. Some have hit the ground running and some have took a little bit of time to bed in. There are some that have been on the sidelines for the majority of their stay...Gosling being one of them. James Perch has been crucified in the past as being absolute shite, yet look at him now. If Pardew picks players for certain games, he picks them because he believes they can do a job and he is 100% more qualified to assume that than we are isn't he. Some fans seem to take the bad points from a players game and discard any good points during the game. We might not have the squad quality of the top 4 teams but then again we haven't got their squandering millions have we. Our squad build is a slow process based on bringing in the quality that fits this club and not just bringing in players who MIGHT give us a boost but on big wages and on a big transfer fee that cannot be recouped. Gosling hasn't really had a good enough run of games yet to cement any regular place in one position and until he gets a little run, then we can see if he will cut it or not. If Pardew decides he plays, then that's good enough for me as we haven't done so bad have we, since Pardew took charge and we have actually edged forward all the time he's been here. Trust in Pardew.

Gemmill 34608 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I must admit, I've seen nothing from Gosling to convince me he isn't shit. However, suggesting that Cabaye should have played the other night to get a more convincing win is utterly stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 He had a canny srious injury that left him out for more than a season and since then has only played a handful of competitive games. Give him a chance man, plus he scored a few important goals for Everton when he was there aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy 12 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Against Atromotis, that's the fittest I've seen Gosling, so if he can keep that fitness up, I think the rest of his game will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio 0 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Pardew's job is to pick players from the squad to get us a result and not go the way of MON by playing his best 11 against Morecambe. Rotating the squad is what the bigger clubs do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
