    3rd or 4th choice for me. Offside too much. Average all round at everything else. Steady 6.

    He's good when on form, but since Ba has come here, he hasn't been getting enough games, and he only looks half fit since coming back from his injury.

    5/10. He can't score, and doesn't know the offside rule. He's no better than Shola or Lovenkrands, really.

    I voted 6,
    He can be ok at holding the ball up and heading, But can also be very clumsy, like being caught offside Etc.
    And he just isn't a good finisher, all of his goals have been inside the Box.
    He needs to be a bit more confident with his finishing.

    gave him an 8, he's playing second fiddle to Ba now, but still a brilliant addition to the team. He's done miles better than I expected of him, hope this dry patch ends and he performs for us during the ACoN.

    6 - To inconsistent and is forever offside. Since he has come back from injury he has looked out of shape, which suggests to me he ain't been putting the work in to get back to his best (no pun intended - it really is difficult you know). Like others have said on his day he is unplayable, but that day just isn't often enough.

    Had a decent 2011, starting to drop off now it's near an end.

    Deteriorated after today. He's a poorer version of Ba and is always in similar positions. Ben Arfa came on and is a totally different player, plays much better with Ba.

    He also scored much more goals before Pardew started liking him and playing him more.

    6 for me, he's scored a few goals and always puts a shift in, he does win more than his fair share of headers too. But for me he is far too one dimensional, hasn't scored since September and is ALWAYS off side.
