Kevin Carr's Gloves 3193 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I dont think he's a good player lacking form and when he plays he's largely a passenger leaving us 10 vs 11. Plus there's no need to play Shola as Remy, Gouffran & Ben Arfa have been doing a decent job in the last few games. No they haven't in the last two games they played as our attacking strike force they scored 0 goals and had very few shots on target. Remy has scored more with Cisse starting than without.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Shouldn't have taken Shola off last night. Love or hate him that Man City back four were shitting themselves in the air last night, it was probably going to be our best chance of scoring against them. This is why I said we needed to bring in a back up big man up there just to mix up a bit, because sometimes knocking it long isn't the worst idea in the world. Gives you options.

The only problem with Shola is that he is in fact shit at football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausman 0 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I think Cisse looked a lot happier having the big man to run off from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is causing bother then there is quality footbsll and scoring goals. While he sometimes does the former he hardly ever does the latter.

While he sometimes does the former he hardly ever does the latter. I'm told by the Ben Arfa supporters that his presence alone helps the team even when he's doing very little. If a big man causing bother does the same thing, then what's the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34413 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Time to judge Cisse is when his drought is over. his "drought" is a key input to the judgement process, I would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34413 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Just repeating "but shola is shit" isn't an argument. He's sometimes crazy effective in the right circumstances, which is the point being made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaul 35 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Shola is the most schizophrenic player in football history. The rare occasion he takes his medication he's nearly impossible to handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Shola really shouldn't still be at the club. He's a cult figure because he's been here so long and he's scored a few goals against the scum. But the goals are appearing less and less frequently now and most of the time when he gets on the field he's absolutely gash. The fact that we haven't replaced him by now says it all about where we now are as a club. As it was, last night the ref wasn't giving freekicks against him everytime he competed with their centrebacks and he was proving reasonably useful. I didn't really see the point in taking him or Cisse off at the time of the subsitution. I would have kept going the way we were, we were creating at least half chances. On a different point I see Pardew is banging on about tired legs again. This is what happens when you don't invest in a squad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Teams don't use 2 or 3 men to mark shola That wasn't the point though. The comparison was that when Ben Arfa is shite and ineffective (7 out of 8 games) it's ok because he's taken 2 or 3 players out of the game. Fine, don't have a problem with that and see the logic. I'm not a fan of Shola, and David Kelly is right that he really shouldn't be here, but for whatever reason he was causing them bother last night and they looked worried by him. He should have stayed on last night. For once, his presence put the shits up them for some unknown reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 M'Biwa.Is it every game or just most games he plays when he is at fault for a goal.Even the average Williamson is better.Pardew needs to shift him in the January transfer window ,along with Cisse and Obertans.If we don't improve the team,never mind the squad,come January,we will finish bottom 6.
