For ****'s sake Gazza. He's a work in progress still, obviously, but I stick to my opinion that he'll never be first choice for us.
He was being closed down rapidly and the ball was bouncing awkwardly. I need another look but I don't necessarily think Davis or Boruc would have done any better with that. Well, they might have made a better contact (though probably so would Gazzaniga if he had another go), but they would have chosen the same option, I mean.
Boruc would have taken more than one touch: first touch to flick it casually over the oncoming striker's head, second touch to volley it straight to Rickie's head.
Think Pardew must have watched the video of our game against Villa, big man up front, hoof it long towards him, and we struggle.
