Much better second half, JRod was terrific up front Chambers, Shaw, Davis and Lovren really good as well, Newcastle are a decent side Think were at a tipping point now with Osvaldo and SRL as strikers in this team, the movement and mobility we had with Rodriguez in that second half transformed our game and i would start playing him up top from now on. We look slow and ponderous with either of those two up front

lol. the bench kicking off

what a chance for JRod

jesus, ref down after the softest hand slap youve ever seen, what a pussy

gazza howler - again remy misses a sitter

I think theres a real argument to be made that JRod should play as the lone striker, offers so much more in that role than either Osvaldo or Lambert

deserve that, we can win this if we keep going

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS brilliant from Davis

How unlucky was Davis there

JRod's movement and mobility up front is showing what we dont have when SRL and/or Osvaldo play there

much better already this half, JRod up top and you can see the difference already with his mobility

Morgan and Lallana for Osvaldo as Ward-Prowse

I agree, it's a big drop off from him since his England games. I'd take him off, get Ramirez on and got back to 4-2-3-1 Chambers again looks excellent, Hooiveld isnt good enough

Agree, he's been woeful

This formation isnt working, players arent used to it and i dont think Lambert and Osvaldo can play together as neither are mobile enough were getting battered here

Barry, Glasgow and Alpwhine in 5, 4, 3, 2....

oh dear, poor from Jos

Osvaldo has to be quicker there, show more urgency

Get on the phone to bag face and sign Cesar

Lambert in the 'no 10' role behind Osvalo

disciplinary issue? benched for being out late or something? was Fonte having another go at Pardew's missus?!

Can see giving Adam a rest isn't a bad idea, Fonte mist have a knock, clearly going to play 4-4-2 as well

It'll be Gaston for Adam or something really odd like Gallacher

And he did say we would sign no one and promote from the academy in which case this thread is pointless :-)

Judging by his comments today Fraser Forster wants a way out of Celtic, maybe not in January but I'd definitely look at in the summer
