We don't have any great strikers...

This.

50% on here don't rate him.

90% of that 50% are taking the piss

He's better than Chopra, a really good championship striker. If he weren't such a passionate Geordie people wouldn't have any time for him.

 

Ameobi is ***e unless some one from another club is reading this, if that is the case he is the most underated striker PL history and he can go for anything between £0.00 and £2.5m

 

If we must play 2 strikers then Samiobi and Best. We're not scoring anyway, may as well bleed some sterling talent quick. He looked likely in the last few mins as well! If he can do that for 90mins leaving him out is plain madness.

Sammy looked sharp again in his brief display. Worried about his legs though, weird as that sounds. Pretty sure a good swipe from ME would snap 'em, let alone a pro footballer lol

Seriously though, would start Sammi with Best if nothing else.

Definately better with 5 in mid though as suggested. When Benny is back then go back to 4411 with sammy playing off him and Beny tracking back when needed. Basically playing 451 and switching 4411 in attack

Would like to see Obertan try pull off more skims as well. In fact, would like to see more of that from all of them. Why not, I'm sure they're good enough.

 

I think I can shed some light on the enigmatic Shola.

When he was born the mid wife slapped his mother, consequently Shola has carried this inferiority complex around with him ever since that fateful day.

To his eternal credit, he does it very well.

 

1. Ameobi was ****e last night;

2. Ameobi is only somtimes ****e, and not as often as most people think.

I expect his hip was bothering him last night. Playing him when he's not wholly fit is madness - - then he really is ****e

 

This - Pardew has always stated HBA will play in the hole with one up front (Best for me....)

 

I agree he's not good enough. I wasn't trying to say he'll be a good striker if we stop the long ball game, just that he'll be slightly less crap. His feet are better than his head.

 

Slightly less crap, quality mate! True enough but lets just swing the final axe!
