After watching that, regardless of it being a friendly I think that the fact we're all worrying about a lack of signings has overshadowed how poor we've become under Pardew.
Now this isn't an overreaction because it is only a friendly, but once again nobody seemed to know what they were suppose to be doing and there didn't seem to be a game plan other than the old knock it long or give it to HBA and hope for the best. Every time he gets the ball the other players, Shola, Sammy, Sissoko are just static, there is nobody making a Kieron Dyer type run from deep in behind the opposition defence.
