We've got Wijnaldum, don't need anyone else. Going to win the title man

We're all sitting here looking at our preseason match v Club Atlas and saying "ohhhh fuck"

I think his comments are fucking idiotic, he's being overly suggestive and if there is some lost in translation, so be it, and if he's been taken out of context, again fair enough but reading that shit - he's a Mike Williamson swing and a miss, man. The title winning PSV captain who is a fellow countryman got a big move to a club and he's doing thing but being a strange bellend by commenting like that.

Naw we wont

He had the agility of a Sherman tank

:lol::lol::lol::lol: expecting to win a title.

1 paced, had the same fucking move all the time. Was mint in PES though.

I'd rather start Obertan over Gouffran. Jesus that's bad.

I'm a little annoyed but hoping it's a matter of him working in the players who were recovering from injuries over the summer / recently. Aarons, De Jong, Perez, Cisse, Wijnaldum, Sissoko all basically need to be starting out of our front 6 or 1 of Cisse/Perez and throw in Anita or something. If Abeid, Cabella, Tiote, and Marveaux were there you could throw them into the mix...but it's a shit squad we've got and I'm hoping the staff starts playing the better players ASAP so they can start working together.

I wish we'd go out and sign a bunch of 500K - 2M players and replace our entire "squad" of horse shit backup players.

Banega has that harsh Acuna look to him, like a weathered looking mad South American nutter. Sign him the f*** up.

We were told this when we signed him. Pons Alias...Sewelly's alter ego?

we're in a friendly, so we should be attempting to get the ball in the back of the net...instead of fannying about.

Atlas' goalie was the rankest excuse for a keeper I've seen in some time. We should have been getting things on frame and he'd have flapped or not saved it. Instead we didn't challenge him much or just blasted everything over.

You can see that many of our players have been fucked by the brand of coaching Pardew and his idiots employed. They've lost many of their instincts over the past few years in favor of booting it deep or passing it back to the goalie or standing still and not creating any space through simple movement.

Yeah maybe.

From the crap Match I saw it seemed like Siem was doing the talking to Lascalles after the penalty mistake, Colback throughout and the rest of the lads trying to organize them etc.

I must admit it does look old and rather simple. Is this not happening? http://www.nufc.co.uk/page/News/Gallery/0,,10278~3556734,00.html Edit: Just found this on nufc.com - Cheers. The state of our current facilities man. Wow. Why didn't they start working on it over the summer? Seems dumb as fuck not to. But this a Lee Charnley ran outfit.

Lascalles is far far far from ready for PL. he looks slow and awkward on the ball too.

I was hoping we'd sign Rudiger AND Matip.

I had 0 expectations for them, but jesus they were overrun by fucking Atlas

If Banega can be a disciplined midfielder who sits, good in possession, excellent distribution and can allow others to break forward while not necessarily being a defensive midfielder (having a sitting midfielder who only does nothing but protect the back line is a wasteful position IMO) then I am all for it. We will consistently lose the battle in the midfield if we don't have a better partner for Wijnaldum. I think Abeid is the only one really capable of fulfilling that role for us in our current squad properly to be honest.

Put it this way...Aarons, Armstrong, Obertan and Perez made it hard on themselves not to score as well. They carved out some decent changes as well. Obertan of course, if he had any footballing brain would just use his f***ing pace and attack the goal. When I sit and think about it, I'm just very disappointed in Colback and Anita. They looked lost out there if I'm honest. Even simple passes missed or behind or in front of the man that forced us to lose possession or slow an attack down. Grinds my gears when our players consistently do that - not playing the ball correctly slows us down far too much.

Sloppy in possession, tried to play it out the back for the most part. Didn't help that Atlas players were trying to fuck someone up all match. There's def an emphasis on pressing the ball and playing quick passing and movement in the attacking 3rd. It was glaringly obvious who needs replaced etc. See my post above for a little more detail.

It was a sloppy match versus a team happy to slide into tackles and dive into rash 50/50 challenges. Our players looked then shit scared of getting hurt and played even sloppier. Full Backs: Janmaat and Haidara got forward well, but looked very rusty. Not concerned with these positions as Haidara is also returning form injury himself. Center Backs: It's Either Colo + New CB, Dummett + New CB or 2 New CBs. Simple as that. CM - Can't play Colback + Anita. Both of whom were sloppy in possession and gave the ball away far too much. Wijnaldum + 1 of them is clearly the way forward partnering with Anita, Colback, Tiote, Abeid I imagine. Again, I'd even welcome adding someone else here if we strengthened elsewhere. Sissoko, whatever his position was, was sloppy again - gets in to right place but place a lazy pass over and over. Attack: Cisse looked lively, he was getting involved everywhere. But his passing will always be hit or miss. De Jong looked good, he's far more intelligent than anyone we've got out there. Gouffran, .
