Looking for positives from the Emirates, maybe those late goals that made for an embarrassing final score will be the extra push Ashley needs to finally back his manager’s judgement.
Putting it into perspective, last season in the league we used a total of 26 players all year, so far this time Alan Pardew has already used 23 different players in only ten matches.
“Since returning from the African Nations (earlier this year), Demba doesn’t understand the management. If he continues to be a substitute all season, we’ll look at other solutions”.
At the minute there is nothing to stop player speculation and being a glass half full type of person I look at it as a positive. There is a reason why our players, and not sunderland’s, are linked with big money moves.
