Its all on January now Mike

Does that include how he tried to mount the keeper for your goal? (Joke! before some pious twerp decides to shout me down)

So is it basically a combo of lack of depth and the system? Thats how it seems from the outside looking in. THe Europa League taking its toll, despite resting key players. Injuries, suspension, poor form thrown in there too. **** happens.

 

Just in poor form mate and short of maybe 3. We'll come good as we have plenty of class in the squad.

 

Good grief! A sensible red and white. We should have him stuffed!

A little tinkering with the system and a couple of decent buys in January and I'm sure we'll be alright.

 

I know I'm a rare breed. And I'll pass on the stuffing.

What you achieved last was amazing quite frankly. But by no means impossible to repeat. Although the feat was always going to be all the more difficult to do again, just done to the how remarkably well you lot did last year. Factor in Europe as well and that exacerbates the problems every other team in the league faces, plus being a nuisance in itself really (would love to be in it though). The excellent first XI should easily be enough to place 10+ comfortably. Even if that XI can only be fielded a few times together.

In a nut shell- it'll come good.

 

You are pretty much right, it's not just the 52,000 fans who can see what Pardew can't.
