Guthrie as 3rd choice CM.<br /><br />This season we have Santon at left back. Benny as first choice right winger. Cisse up front with Demba. Anita and Bigi as CM back up. We also have Marveaux which we didnt last season. Anita can play full back. Perch and Willo are better players now than they were this time last year.<br /><br />Wake up yourself. The squad is clearly stronger. Not strong as it should be, but strong enough.ToonBanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981857778499077998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1689561092714256771.post-12106482227906140872012-11-23T18:36:36.193+00:002012-11-23T18:36:36.193+00:00We managed to batter Bordeaux and beat Bruges with...We managed to batter Bordeaux and beat Bruges with no Benny in sight. It was an unnecassary risk against an extremely poor team.

Anita, Bigi and Amalfitano are not Premiership quality players. Marveaux has shown us very little. I could go on, but suffice to say that the young lads are just that - which sadly isn't good enough for the Premiership right now.<br />We're not stronger than last season.

And it worked to a point, but with another injury cost. It happens. <br /><br />Pardew was let down in the summer by Ashley and Llambias. He has a small squad that has not been given any help with the extra games. <br /><br />But the team look weak, there's little arguement there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1689561092714256771.post-71044983445024115392012-11-23T17:49:48.202+00:002012-11-23T17:49:48.202+00:00I completely agree with what you say about lack of...I completely agree with what you say about lack of strengthening in the summer. We should built on last season with Debuchy, Douglas and anothe striker.<br /><br />But facts are we still have a much stronger squad than last season. Even though we lost Best, Lovenkrands and Guthrie. We did sign Anita, Bigi and Amalfitano. Marveaux is available this year. Cisse is available from th start of the season. Santon, Perch, Willo and Obertan are all better players now than what they were this time last year.<br /><br />We have 2 players of significant quality for each position, that is good enough to beat the also rans of the Premier League. I can understand not being good enough to beat Everton and Liverpool. But Reading, Villa, West Ham, Swansea and now Maritimo. Not good enough. Just excuses.ToonBanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981857778499077998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1689561092714256771.post-75988727145739365722012-11-23T17:43:11.284+00:002012-11-23T17:43:11.284+00:00agreed we are struggling badly and pards seems to ...agreed we are struggling badly and pards seems to be running out of ideas fast,but really we should of kicked on in the summer when we had the chance to sign some good players for relatively little outlay and chose not to.the board let pards down badly then,so i think the whole club has just gone stale,things that were working are last years fashions,every body else is wearing the newest threads whilst we are decked out in gingham flares and tank tops.i fear a big defeat saturday and wednesday,by next weekend we could well be bottom 3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
