As expected, Mathieu Debuchy will make his debut today for Newcastle United at Carrow Road, but his best pal Yohan Cabaye is only on the bench, after returning from injury.
Newcastle will play in a modified 4-3-3 formation, and the midfield three look to be James Perch, Vurnon Anita and Sylvain Marveaux, and Jonas Gutierrez also returns from injury and starts this game.
For Norwich, captain Grant Holt returns from injury and is on the bench, and former Newcastle center-back Sebastien Bassong is in the starting line-up for the Canaries.
Want away captain Fabricio Coloccini will lead out the Newcastle side today, and we desperately need to pick up something from this game, to break our four game losing streak.
Howay The Lads!!

Shame that the Collo story is taking away the fact that we’ve only brought in one defender so far with probably the three most important games of the season coming up and the defender in question is a guy who was only signed so quickly is because the only other available natural right back is the injured Simpson.

Is Jonas playing CDM with Anita more advanced or as a winger with Marv playing no. 10?
19 Kebabacus // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:15 PM
Best line-up we have at the moment. I think Debuchy’s performance could be key. If he plays well it could lift the other players.
Does anyone still use Sopcast? Any idea where I can get some links for it?
20 Conaldo (The Wizard...Also Bestest Friends With Paul Scharner) // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:15 PM
Amalfitano on the bench. They obviously found the cupboard where he has been hiding all this time.
In retrospect hide and seek wasn’t a great idea for a team building exercise.
21 LewSpi v2.0 // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:16 PM
Haha I can’t believe people complaining about Jonas being back.
I’m really not his biggest fan, but we’ve lost 12 of the last 14 or something ridiculous because experienced 1st teamers injured. They’re back and you still want to play the kids!
Unbelievable. Haha.
22 hdavid23 // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:16 PM
i’m actually glad Jonas is back, yes, he can’t offer much in offense, but we really need his defensive skills, especially as Santon loves to go forward, and we got in trouble many many times because of that while Jonas wasn’t playing
23 Twatter // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:16 PM
I’ll say 2-2 draw. Would like to see Debuchy roaming forward and getting some crosses in.
24 Tommyy // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:17 PM
Because on the left Jonas is a waste of everybody’s time. No drive, like a second left back without the positional sense. At least in the middle he gets more of the ball.
25 Jail for Ashley // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:17 PM
I remember the people in favour of us not signing anyone in the summer and demonizing those of us that said we should have arguing that we have had the strongest bench in so so years, well look today we have the untested alalafamatino, the player who probably takes the third most abuse on this site in young Sammy and a player who 98.7% of bloggers say should never wear the NUFC shirt again.

28 nufc1984 // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:18 PM
I hate to be pessimistic but I think today has Southampton away written all over it. a team we should beat but actually end up getting outplayed and beaten 2or 3-1. cant see any other result the way we have been playing. No matter what line up we play I cannot see any positives in the way we play. ncfc 3 nufc 1
29 hdavid23 // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:18 PM
2_goal_tino @18,
judging from what the official site stated, i think Marveaux is playing in the number 10 role and Jonas on the left
30 naptoon // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:18 PM
why is amaltifano always on bench for both shadow team and first team? surely if hes on bench today he was worth a run out last week. the few times hes got on hes looked ok.
31 albertluque // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:18 PM
Love how fickle some of our fans are. Best we can hope for is a draw today? Really though, so delusional at times, skews from one end to the other
32 Twatter // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:19 PM
@LewSpi
We’ve lost the last 12 of 14 not because of injuries but because we don’t have a proper squad. I don’t think anyone honestly wants us to play the kids. We’re just frustrated by the fact we don’t actually have a team with any depth whatsoever and Jonas has been pretty awful or average at best everytime he’s played this season.
33 ~Anita One Bites the Dust~ // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:19 PM
Excited to see how we fair with two attack minded quality full backs.
Simmo tried his best… but ultimately his crosses amounted to nothing… hitting the closest defender more times then actually getting into the box.

37 MUTINYbyLEMONS // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:20 PM
I think Jonas is back to offer his defensive skills which we need as we have be conceding lots of goals. Not too worried that him not providing much will be a big problem for this game as we have been scoring lots of goals recently as well, it’s our defense that’s letting us down. Jonas will cover Santon when he goes forward. Jonas may as well as a LB
38 Minato // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:21 PM
Glad to see some positive comments, especially about Jonas. Haven’t been great defensively all season, but think about how many more we have shipped without him in the team? I think today will be a tough one…would be sick with a loss, content with a draw..the next two are far more crucial in my opinion..a win of course would definitely ease some of the pressure going in to them..
39 Toon1978 // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:21 PM
I have criticized Jonas in the past but now i have realized we really miss his work ethic. I had a bit of a debate with Tsunki i think the lad was. I now understand what he was talking about. Glad Jonas is back but only for his graft.

noticable how santons form dipped last couple of games aswell without guti.
46 2_goal_tino // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:23 PM
@hdavid23.
I hope so. Jonas can stabilize Santon’s attacking instinct and the no. 10 role gives our most creative player the freedom to find space. Best of all with Anita further back there will actually be someone to link defence with attack rather than lump it up to Cisse and hope Marv is there for the knockdown.
47 dembademba // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:23 PM
that norwich midfield looks very strong and our bench very weak. gonna be a tough game, 3 points will not come easy!!
at least cisse is playing as a striker, im sure he’l bag a goal. dont want him to risk cabaye if theres a chance hel get injured again. once ben arfa, cabaye, marveaux, tiote, debuchy all start playng together we’l start to dominate teams

@ Toon1978
I agree with him fully, I have been a big advocate of what he does off the ball more than what he does on it as strange as that sounds. Have really missed his stability and positional play. Not the best at picking a pace or making those pacy runs anymore, but in my view has been far more valuable to us over for last two seasons for what he does for us now.
50 boater // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:25 PM
Delighted to see Jonas back. Proven and experienced players are needed now, plus he’s under-appreciated by the forum mob on here – which is normally a hallmark of a decent player.
51 LewSpi v2.0 // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:25 PM

63 Dannyo // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:29 PM
Although Jonas may well be needed for this match due to experience and the trust some of the younger generation has in him, he has most certainly had a poor season.
Hopefully he can show differently today, cause we need all hands on deck and no carry on baggage.

It’s not like we were ever playing magical football with Jonas in the team? Look, obviously I want changes, but the changes I’d want aren’t facilitated in this “squad”, if we can call it that, assembled by a very tight owner. You’re acting as if Jonas is some new player we’ve signed or has shown any attacking promise this whole season. He just hasn’t.
You need to look at the back four and how the midfield retains posession though, serious short-comings if we’re delighted a LW has come back to shore up our team defensively. Seems a little ridiculous to me.
70 Mister Tuff // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:31 PM
I think we’ll be lucky to get a result today. Team looks a bit weak. Persisting with Obertan – he will not make the grade – even though he thinks he should be in France’s starting eleven. I hope for a win but I think there is a good chance of further anger by Toon supporters later on this afternoon.

79 LewSpi v2.0 // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:36 PM
I think you’re underestimating the lift that an experienced player brings to a team.
Having Jonas playing will be far more advantageous for the mindset of the other inexperienced players in the grit of the game, than having someone like Sammy playing on the LW.
I trust Jonas to grab hold of a game much more than a player like Sammy or Bigi, and thats no disrespect to them I think they will both be brilliant, they just haven’t got that experience yet.
80 MacToon // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:36 PM
I think the team looks more balanced but will depend on Debuchy’s debut and Jonas’s fitness.

81 Nufc-83 // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:37 PM
Anyone saying i hope Jonas starts in the middle is totally clueless and i wonder if they actually follow the club as its clear that is not the line up for a few reasons:
1) Pardew always starts the games with Jonas out wide
2) why would you want our most creative player stuck out wide when he been outstanding of late through the middle (marv) ?
Its clear to most fans that the team Rake put above is how we will start!!

According to Tim Vickery (the BBC’s South American football correspondent), since Colo’s dad has been hired to the San Lorenzo board and is coaching the youth teams, he has decided he wants to go there. No ill wife – no clandestine affair.
They’ve got no money and unless we loan him to them or release him from his contract (which we would be mad to do) he won’t be going anywhere, and will just have to suck it up.

We’ll win this game if williamson and gutierrez play out of their skin. They’ve been passengers/liabilities this season. They play well, then the team will play well.
But, like you said, can’t see it happening!
117 Nufc-83 // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:58 PM
Im very nervous about our cbs today. Willo is as always one of the worst cbs ever to wear the shirt but i have always been a massive fan of colo and would always think he will pick up form from his recent slump but with the recent news that he wants to leave that wont be the case. Can see us having a bad time at the back will need to outscore them
118 bambams // Jan 12, 2013 at 2:58 PM
we have to remember Debuchy is a fb…..
He will improve our team, no doubt about that.
But he is a full back who stops attackers and who bombs forward and puts crosses in (I hope) for others to score from, he aint going to change the whole situation alone.
I am not being a neg, just dont want us to put too much
pressure in the lad in his first game. I am going to put a fiver on him scoring a hatrick !!!!

138 nufc1984 // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:13 PM
Wow that typifies our play this season. Play it around, play it around and play it around some more until it gets to Williamson who hoofs it into the corner where no one is running. The guy is a liability in possession. Absolutely useless tool!!
139 Marty-Toon // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:14 PM
Great run Gutierrez ,more of that.
Maybe he’ll get confidence from that and Obertan could do the same on the other side we’d scare them a lot
140 jimiley // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:14 PM
Great to have Jonas back. He will make a massive difference. I expect him to score a couple and maybe set one or two up. He is overdue a top performance.

Balls along the ground can be effective. Obertam corsses some good balls sometimes, I have seen lots of crosses from him like that that if someone had made a run to the near post they would have had a tap in

Obertan is not a player for a relegation fight. Does not track back, pulls out of any tackle, lacks confidence. The really poor thing is that he has the ability. mUPPET

Club should let Colo go for free. He stayed in relegation season and was great last season. Has been poor this year and looks crap in this game. They way he backed off when Norwich had 3 on 2 was worrying. Willo is too wasteful in possession. Do we have the 2worst centre backs this season?
196 JackButler // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:37 PM

199 Transfer Sage // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:38 PM
Obertan supposibly has ability but I am yet to see it.
Ability isn’t doing one great trick to beat a man in a game or one good cross.
Ability is being able to do that consistently and finding a way to make yourself effective most Of the game.
He has ‘lacked confidence’ for over 4 years in England now, he no longer lacks confidence, he just isn’t cut out for a top European league.

203 Ruddy Marveaux-lous // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:39 PM
Arguably that’s what we’ve really been missing. Anita, Marv, Obertan and Jonas haven’t nearly got themselves on the ball as much as they should be. We have the ability in that midfield to be creating chances but they seem to be shying away from the ball, or being by-passed by Willo, either way we’re creating nothing.
204 JackButler // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:39 PM

216 Ruddy Marveaux-lous // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:44 PM
First time the game opened up, Marv needed a better cross, Cisse needed a better touch, Obertan needed a better shot.
Disappointing. Though seems like we’re upping it a little bit.
217 Sinner // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:44 PM
Jonas as usual, doing nothing in the final third!

Is Colo playing midifield at the moment?
219 JackButler // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:46 PM
Our set pieces have to be the worst in the bloody league, but from what I’ve seen we are on top but desperately need Cabaye’s touch of class
220 MUTINYbyLEMONS // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:46 PM
Oo no added minutes. that doesn’t happen too often. Obertan closet to scoring
221 Tommyy // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:46 PM
Colo’s last game, he wants to score.
222 blues93 // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:47 PM
Collo is playing like it his last game. Decided to move into midfield to try create something. Is he defying Pardew’s tactics?
223 LGFUAD21 // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:47 PM
Said it before but obertan is not the winger Pards wants him to be. He is best utilised in tight spaces not to run the flanks he can help unlock when he plays the return in the middle.
Slow start, perked up a bit but it just lacks energy and confidence.
If anybody watched cisse in Germany they will know that although he is a great poachers , he deserved more than hopeful balls, try playing it along the ground a bit there was more to his game at Freiburg.
Santon once again being the best on the pitch. Anita has a class touch and footballing brain though.

227 newcastle10 // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:48 PM
everytime when williamson gets the ball he either hoofs it out of play our gives possesion straight back to norwich. how he is a premier league player it is beyond me. why cant we keep the ball on d ground like we did against united and arsenal.
228 Jail for Ashley // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:48 PM
Cheers anyway lads but I’ve only got my tablet with me musnt have the right sh1t installed I’ll just have to watch on BBC video printer, talk after the game if I’m still in a good mood.
229 TurkishFan101 // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:48 PM
We never push through the middle, most of the half has been on the right then last few minutes on the left. We dont use middle of the park to create chances, thus it ends up still getting hoofed up to either the left winger or right winger. I don’t understand what Pardew does in the training ground. We don’t see anyone get into space to support players, they are waiting for the pass, no one is supporting in the middle of the park. Unbelievable nothing will change when Ben Arfa, Cabaye or steven taylor comes. It will be the same as the beginning of the season when we had Aston Villa with a fully fit team, no one seems to care but wait for the ball to come to them.
Only positives? Santon, Anita, Marveaux, Perch, Colo, krul.
Williamson can suck off a pub team he is absolutely shiot.
230 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:49 PM
we look completely out of inspiration and totally out of self belief as usual…after the last few games this cant go on much longer it seems as if they dont even want it another half of this and Pardew out I am sorry…
I really do feel for debuchy hba cabaye and co
231 MacToon // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:49 PM
Debuchy has grown into the game as it’s gone on, Williamson can’t do the basics very well and Marveaux needs to get into the game more.

233 Sinner // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:50 PM
Pardew needs to let Debuchy go forward, as we cant seem to create anything.Hopefully cabaye will come on for Jonas next half and move Marveaux to the left.
234 nufc786 // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:50 PM
debuchy has been solid does the simple things well and dosnt hoof it like simmo…. hope to see his good crosses….

235 Toon_Jock // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:50 PM
Couple of half decent crosses from Debuchy…

236 NUFC FOR SALE // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:50 PM

this is the most badly organised newcastle team i have ever seen…..much worse than the one that went down last time.

237 Spreadthetoon // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:50 PM

246 ToonDownSouth // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:54 PM
Some of you are talking like you expected to see liquid football today!
Why? Because we got a right back who’s marginally better than Simpson? The same problems are there that have been there all season, and plenty of people predicted it in the summer.
247 JackButler // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:54 PM
Willo’s like a one legged man at times, he seems to panic every time the ball comes near him, no class, no composure no bloody clue. He’d find it hard to join another premier league club even if he was available on a free
248 Rotonda heights // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:55 PM
The commentator keeps saying boring match but I’ve really really enjoyed that half.
It may be more by accident than design, but without Ba or Shola, Pardew has finally got back to the formation we should have started the season with, with playing one number 9, not 2 down the centre.
We are far more fluid with the extra man in midfield rather than 2 strikers and the ball is staying on the deck, willo apart, who is just such a total donkey and embarrassment with the ball at his feet at this level.
But we’ve sorted the Simmo dilemma and the Ba or Cisse issue, now just need a replacement for Willo and it all looks a bit brighter.
249 MUTINYbyLEMONS // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:55 PM
atleast we don’t like conceding. Hopefully we will nick a goal in the second half. We just need a win somehow. Don’t care how it comes
250 Ruddy Marveaux-lous // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:55 PM
NUFC for Sale
I would say that defensively we look the most organised we have in a long time, our midfield isn’t getting on the ball nor are they creating chances for Cisse but that is more down to failing to find that quality in the final third, something that is easily rectified when we have the likes of Cabs and Benny fully fit which should see us score the goals we need to stay up.
I don’t think we have too much to panic about other than the alarming lack of depth in our squad
251 Sinner // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:56 PM
Anita and Obertan looks like our best player, we need to get them on the ball.

the only good thing s far is that Villa, Reading and Wigan are all losing
255 Spreadthetoon // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:57 PM
Southampton above us in the league as it stands…..that says it all IMO
256 nufc786 // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:57 PM
ToonDownSouth
your quick to judge mate bearing in mind debuchy is starting in a new league where the style is different with a team low on confidence…. but it is amazing how you can judge him on 45 mins of football really …..
257 ToonDownSouth // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:57 PM
Rotonda
I always think things are going OK in the first half – as do you, as you always seem to post at half time that things are looking up
The way the commentators act is absolutely disgraceful. No on wants to tune in and hear two old men moan about how bored they are. It’s pathetic, and they get paid more than 99% of us for it.
258 Nufc-83 // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:58 PM
TDS marginally better lol simmo is not far from being similar to willo who would look out of place in a league 1 team.
259 Oleg G // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:58 PM
Weird half. I am not expecting anything, so if something will come I will be very happy, and if it won’t, I won’t feel bad all week.
260 sula // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:58 PM
RATONDA are you watching the right game lol. What are you on about.
261 rivettCatcher // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:58 PM
Give debuchy time to settle. Anita took 4 games. Not great but at least we’re not getting dominated!!!
Let’s hope we have a good 2nd half
262 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:59 PM
Given debuchy has put in a better 45 than simmo has all season in a depleted swuad is say he looks a great signing tbh
263 Dennis Twice // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:59 PM

Debuchy-Williamson-Coloccini-Santon

Oba is answer
264 Ruddy Marveaux-lous // Jan 12, 2013 at 3:59 PM
Sinner
I would have said that Santon and Perch looked like our two best players, Anita is capable of passing the ball just haven’t seen him on the ball enough. Santon still needs to track back a hell of a lot quicker when he loses the ball though.
265 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:00 PM
My question is if we lose this game does Pardew go?
266 Unbelievable Tekkers // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:00 PM
I think we have actually played decent the defence is a lot more solid we are just lacking that bit of quality in the final third which cabaye and HBA provide.
267 ToonDownSouth // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:00 PM
I know guys. I’m exagerating my point, as I do with almost every post.
But I wouldn’t expect him to have much of an effect on this team at the moment – I wouldn’t expect Messi to given the way we’ve played this season.
268 GeordieToon89 // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:00 PM
Has there been any transfer news today then lads?
269 iggystinger // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:02 PM
im sick of this high ball sh**e get it down and play
270 Marty-Toon // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:02 PM
Debuchy has been pretty steady,a lot more solid than Simmo.
He isn’t attacking that much as Obertan won’t help him out defensively
271 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:03 PM
2nd half marv obertan and cisse need to up there work rate especially marv and obertan if perch and santon can find space in the final third they need to be aswell
If you want to come out and do the interviews about how you should be in the squad then you need to be doing the buisness on the pitch imo
272 BlacknWhiteBarmy // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:03 PM
Can pardew pull out a motivational speech and get these wasters performing? Bog ask but ….
273 Rotonda heights // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:03 PM

that’s what should happen but i bet it’s marveaux who comes off instead of jonas
274 iggystinger // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:03 PM
also the commentator that keeps going on about poor corners is doin my tits in shut the f**k up
275 WPMK // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:04 PM

Why? Jonas has done nout wrong today, marv has done nout full stop for me it shoukd be obertan getting taken off
278 Spuggy // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:07 PM
Lacking in quality. Need HBA, tiote and Cabaye in ASAP.
279 dubzy // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:07 PM
shocking play
280 Ruddy Marveaux-lous // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:09 PM
Anyone else think Cisse has been quite poor? Shola would do the job he’s been asked to do a lot better, hold the ball up and spray it on. Perhaps it isn’t his favourite job to do but his touches have been lacking.
281 Jamiemac // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:09 PM
toonarmydownsouth
Debuchy has done nothing special mate. I can’t help but think people are only praising Debuchy because they WANT him to do well. In reality Simmo could have done everything Debuchy has done today
282 hdavid23 // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:10 PM
these teams shouldnt be in the PL… period. complete lack of quality
283 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:10 PM
Ruddy
Its tricky given the fact theres no service but aue forgot hes on the pitch
284 nick_9 // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:10 PM
Only switched on at half time and from what I’ve seen it’s scrappy. Anita has hardly had the ball and whenever obertan is on the right he does rubbish. Cisse is struggling on a game like this which is unserstandable considering the quality of play
285 Jamiemac // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:11 PM
We may have been bad but Norwich’s passing has been shocking
286 hatem786 // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:11 PM

So Marv on the left.
297 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:13 PM
Jamiemac
In reality simmo COULD of done what debuchy has done vut the point is simmo hasnt been doing it all season plus atleast debuchy is looking to pass the ball rather than hoof it
Thank fcuk obertan is off that lad left his first touch on the bus today
298 Marty-Toon // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:13 PM
Did ya see the tempo of our lads went up straight away….just shows you the trust in some players
299 Ruddy Marveaux-lous // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:14 PM

If Cisse could control anything that comes his way then perhaps we’d have a chance of creating momentum.
310 nick_9 // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:17 PM
Worst game I’ve seen from two sides in a while. 37% possession for us, urgh

Shocking shocking game
312 davis_toons // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:17 PM
HBA NEEDS to be BACK.
313 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:17 PM
Great ball from cabaye but seriously cisse either has no pace or needs to up his game because he’s 2nd to everything
314 niafron // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:18 PM

Sorry, in foreign languages, i sometime mistake them!

how can anybody defend Jonas? He’s abysmal!
318 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:19 PM
I think it is safe to say we will be last on MOTD tonight
319 Marty-Toon // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:19 PM
We can’t get close enough to Cisse,we need to have Marv up along side or just behind
320 gaz 44 // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:19 PM

@nick 9
YOu should see some Ligue1 ‘s games…
324 Transfer Sage // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:19 PM
This season has shown a lack of pace.
Everything is easier with pace. You can stretch the opposition forcing then to play deeper and be wider or find themselves open to quick players in behind.
If we had say bale and Lennon on either side it would stretch teams which gets not just chances for them, but more room and freedom for play in the middle if cabaye.
That’s why remy or a similar player is vital
325 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:20 PM
It has been a long day today – I am a bit tired and this game is not helping
a very poor way of playing 4-2-3-1 – Cisse is very much alone up there (wake me up guys if we score 
) lol
326 BlacknWhiteBarmy // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:20 PM
Neither team deserve all 3 points but i bet we dont even get 1
327 Alan Pas-de-clue // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:20 PM
When you look at the quality of the players that are performing so poorly…surely the manager must take some blame
328 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:20 PM
Anita a shocker today
329 Oleg G // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:20 PM
Cisse is running all over and trying to pressure, but other players don’t do that.
Also, no play-maker. Marv today or not asking or asking and not getting the ball. He suppose to be always there with the ball, but we are always playing through the wings.
330 Spuggy // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:20 PM
We don’t have enough forward players when I. Final third. Anita having a shocking game.
331 bambams // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:21 PM

338 BlacknWhiteBarmy // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:22 PM
Pards wont push marv up … He is happy with a point.
Probably say its a good point away from homevthat we can build on

I’ve never seen such a disorganized pile of shyte wearing our shirt in my life
340 Spuggy // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:22 PM
Cisse is not a target man. Needs ball into feet or a cross.
341 Transfer Sage // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:22 PM
I’m not a big shola fan, I don’t rate him that highly but he is the only player, with ben arfa, in our squad who is comfortable and confident to shoot with either foot

The only players with quality in the team were signed by Pardew. What exactly is your point?

357 BlacknWhiteBarmy // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:25 PM
This from the bbc website. About sums it up
Jonas Gutierrez crosses the ball, Mike Williamson manages to make a clearance.

363 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:27 PM
I would take the point now. We could play for 180 minutes and not score
364 BlacknWhiteBarmy // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:27 PM
If ranger is the answer i hate to think what the question is. I bet its not football related

366 Oleg G // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:28 PM
I would prefer 2-3 good, really good attacks. That are build slowly from behind, with good technique and intent, instead of this back and forth playing for 70 mins.
Anyway all this doesn’t work, so build something, slowly.

Santon is the best player for us today I think.
408 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:41 PM
Pardews master plan is to play Cisse, who is far from a target man and then lump long balls to him and expect something to happen. The man is clueless, I bet Anita has played more long balls in the last few months than he did in his whole Ajax carreer
409 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:42 PM

Everyone he still staying f*£king defensive. No one is supporting Cisse. With a squad like this we should be beating teams like Norwich. Its Pardew that’s at fault, his philosophy is a complete 100% fail and does not work. Get this guy out of our club, we wont be winning any games playing like this. Everyone is pushing backwards not forwards.

Its odd to have a manager who won nowt and is now on an eight year contract.
We need someone who can ‘coach’ players…..Give them a style to play that they can be comfortable with. The club talk about building a team and continuity, we could not be further away if we tried.
Ragged, disorganised and no leaders anywhere.
We have this window and probably 5 or 6 games to improve or we will be in trouble and wont be able to get out.

@TADS we are set up too defensive no one is supporting Cisse because of Pardew. Ranger at least adds some pace to the game. Have you not been watching the game. The midfield is stuck with the Defenders. This tactical approach is a fail and will never change. Pardew has never changed from losing to winning its been at everywhere, he nearly relegated West Ham. Now hes doing same to us, he needs to go.

Jesus, were still vulnerble at the back and have lost our offensive ability with Ba going. Joy. We need reinforcements and badly.
Cisse is a waste when midfield not working. Need a Ba like player strong and powerful, a similar CM, a Quick CF/winger and a CB, two if collo goes.
Cabaye and collo easily the best players on the park.
465 Klam3r // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:54 PM
Poor performence again(even though we got 1 point), and i’m not surprised. The team isn’t balanced, and the transitions from defence to attack is shocking. Again Pardew shows me he has nothing to give a team as a manager, and his lack of tactical knowledge scares me.
I would use some of the transfer budget on a new manager if i was Ashley. No doubt!
466 John Tudor // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:54 PM

467 Spreadthetoon // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:54 PM
That was not a spirited performance. If Collo goes I really do fear for the worst. MOTM – Krul who did not have loads to do…..that says it all!
Pardew just cannot get his players out there to play….if its a choice between Collo or Pardew…its a very easy choice.
This was a near to full strength team…..that was dull and v. v. poor – Pardew do the decent thing….

Have to seriously look at the inability of Prdew to motivate the players and no footballing tactics

Giving Cisse no support throughout the game,no wonder we had only 2 shots on goal in 90mins
Cisse is not BA and won’t win and hold he ball up like he did so AP will need to support him better by going to a 442 again or a 4411

480 shooby doo // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:57 PM
Only watched the 2nd Half but that was painful enough!
Such a lack of creative class. They are trying to play Cisse as though he is Demba Ba, a striker that can stand alone and hold the ball up. Even when Cisse was playing at his best, he still suffered in that department.

I can’t understand some of the negativity on here. I’m very happy with a point. Norwich is a tough place to go and at times we played some nice stuff.
When we get Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Marv and hopefully Remy (or whoever comes in) on the pitch at the same time I think we’ll do OK.

488 MUTINYbyLEMONS // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:58 PM

489 scottishtoons // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:58 PM
we lost 9 out of the past 11
i think not losing would be a start
brining bigi on is a defensive swap that has a bigger chance of guratteing a draw
i dun think bringing on ranger would lead to a goal
infact i think norwich might even score
the stakes are actually higher in real life than in fifa or championshop manager guys
1 point is better than 0 points zzz
not happy but not sad as weLL

Catchy
Wtf are you on about? Buying what? Putting up with fans like me? You mean fans that aren’t cluess to the fact that the bench we had to day couldnt change a lightbulb let alone a game?
Cisse had plenty of spaxe today and lost chances through some shocking touches and being unbelievably slow to react, marv was bone idol today and greedy there was no service so putting on ranger would of resulted in 2 cf’s running round like headless chickens followed by you complaining were in a 442
By the way you never said who you would of started today instead of guti and obertan
494 TurkishFan101 // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:59 PM
@tads I agree with you but this is what the manager wants the players to do. He has been doing this all season now, I didn’t see any support for Cisse today. All the long balls up in the air for him nothing else. 2 signings or even 4 wont change this team. They have got allot of problems starting with tactical philisophy this team has approached all the way to set pieces and substitutes. Remy wont change us, no Defender can change us. The manager Pardew has to go, he is making us look like a pile of cr@p. I am used to watching us play football like this now and when we score I dont even cheer, do you want to know why? because the goals that we score are almost 85% lucky unless we got a talented guy like Ben Arfa which I think we are soo lucky to have in our team. We cant seem to support each other out, no one is moving in to space, they just stay at one position and expect a world class pass to hit them so they can open up play. If anyone disagrees with me go ahead, I think you cannot be stupid enough to defend Pardew now cause he has really made us look like the “wee” club all the southerners down here think we are.
495 Kebabacus // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:59 PM
And, to be honest, Cisse needs to learn to trap a football.
496 Beattie25 // Jan 12, 2013 at 4:59 PM

The footballing display was awful (especially second half) BUT…
What do some people expect! The team is massively low on confidence and not losing the game today was what was on their mind most! We almost played for that in the final third of this match!
It is a clean sheet and something to build on, which is more than we’ve had for a while now! It’s clear we need more players (pace + power) going forward and I’m sure the club is trying to get a couple in…
This is a big point for us, but next week will be even more important and hopefully we’ll have Saylor back as well. Not to mention Cabaye from the start and no new injuries by the looks of things!
THINGS TO BE POSITIVE ABOUT!!
Needed to say that….

501 Spuggy // Jan 12, 2013 at 5:01 PM
I am happy with a point but disappointed we had no potency going forward. A few decent chances and balls put in first half but lacked quality.
Santon was decent defensively but not his usual standard going forward. CBs starting to suss his inside runs.
502 nick_9 // Jan 12, 2013 at 5:02 PM
It’s points dropped with every passing game that new signings could have made a difference in. Get them over the line asap.
Down to 16th in the league. Tired of the performances, results, Pardew, Mike and Del. not really sure why we couldn’t have performed better today with the players we had out.
503 Sinner // Jan 12, 2013 at 5:03 PM

504 Raj // Jan 12, 2013 at 5:04 PM
I agree to Spreadtoon that it was near to full strength team. But you should consider wat is our morale going into this match. Leaking goals like anything, defensive fallouts, lack of goal-scoring moves.. Considering all this, it was a good point.
Ya beattie and john tudor, we won’t stay up with one points from games, but this point changes the perspective of the next home game.. Gives a bit of morale boost to our lineup.. now if only mike throws in some cash and we get 2 players, a CH and a ST, we would start the journey up sooner than later.. Get behind the team lads.. If I can do it from India, I wish better from the home fans.. C’mon Geordies..

Woo ducking Hoo!!! We didn’t get beat of a team that has lost its last four games…. We played terrible football yet again with very nearly our full strength team. Only Staylor, Tiote and HBA out and only one of them helps forward play.
We played terrible. bringing canary on for overran and putting Marv on the wing was shocking decision, Marv just drifted inside meaning we had no winger. great.
PARDEW OUT BEFORE WE GO DOWN

Worst match of football i’v ever witnessed …
511 Adssy Mccc // Jan 12, 2013 at 5:11 PM
Why did we not perform with the players we had out there…??
Well for a start:
*We were set up to try and get a point as WE are the away side and not some top draw team who can roll most teams over in their own ground!
*The team’s postion of late has clearly made players anxious going forward. Something that a win next week will hopefully sort out (when we’ll be at home with the crowd behind us!)
*Cisse is not a man to play with just a withdrawn striker like Marv up alongside him. I’m sure we’ll be better when we have a front three and HBA beside him (as well as another lively player like Remy possibly?)
A point is very important here. Although I do hope Pards gets us playing much better football (if/when) we start moving up the table and get a couple of decent signings in…
The last part remains to be seen – but we have to hope!!

if we get remy in and when ben arfa is back we should just play to our strengths defending has never been our strong point and attack teams for me theres no need for two defensive midfielders it should be two attacking ones percy needs to wake up and smell the coffee
