ATB

We are so bad. If we get top 10 we should be happy.

I agree with Pardew. You can´t only be technical, you have to compete too. Sadly we haven´t done any of it this season.

This is going to be ugly.

- Long ball at Shola

- Simpson and Willo that are worse than s***

- Low defence that will give Sunderland the momentum.

We basically has to win.

We don´t need Nolan If Pardew just could get the team to play football we would be fine.

It´s hard to say, but I´m really jealous about Tottenham right no, compared to us. So much more potential in there team then us.

I have lost all the confidence in Pardew. It´s not only because the season have started poorly point wise, but most because be play worse and worse football. We don´t have a plan and is only trying to play to stop the other team.

If we tried to play good football and still lost to bad players, then fair enough. But this is just crap, especially when he talks about controlling the game and play good football.

If he just was honest and said that he love his long balls. But then you could really argue why we have bought the players we have and not tall guys like Stoke.

Another rubbish performance tbh, game was over after 15 minutes and Man U just cruised their way through it.

 

Kind of result that's been coming this season tbh, hopefully it serves as a wake up call before the game against the Mackems.

Wouldn´t hold my breath. Been saying that all season.

I think it´s fair to say that he will never make it here.

tbh. If we could have got the ball we had plenty of space at the wings. So a 4-5-1 in defense and more with in attack?

He wasn´t bad, but he wasn´t good either because he´s just not showing. He´s supposed to be our main man in the middle. Therefore he got to do more than just run about a little bit.

Better, but a woeful lack of awareness and responsibility shown for the crucial second goal.

Always good against good teams. But his lack of play awareness is letting him and us down against lesser teams.

 

Did you just repeat what Dave said?

I didn´t read any post in the thread before I posted...

The problem is that he should never have chanced anything from last season. And if Ba was one of the reasons that we have chanced things he should have been kicked out.

He's been a parody of himself this season. Some sort of joke.

The whole team has been that.

He´s just not a top PL manager.

That table on long balls is interesting. I wonder how many of those 401 long balls was an instant loss of possession.

 

The only thing nice about that table is that fact we have made over 2300 passes in total. Take off the long balls and we have still made a large amount on the deck compared to the teams around us.

No

We are still in a divided lead looking at the percent ranking.

The problem is that Pardews so called A-plan is terrible. There is a reason why we always chances things around and why we always are so bad in the beginning of games.

shhh Dontooner you are not allowed to curse in the church...

Again. It´s not about the players quality (ok the cb and gb is shit) but the way we are performing and setting up. We have been this bad all season but everyone has been looking away and everyone has been blaming me for knowing fucking all.

Right now we are not better than top 10. But we should be.

Pathetic from the right off - this season.

Defend?

We can´t play football. But hey. What do I know?

It's worrying that he's apparently studying/teaching in the field of sports science too.

 

The more he can learn the better really.

 

I found it quite strange he didn't celebrate the first goal, but did for the 2nd (3rd also?). Maybe he had a strong word with the team on what he expected from the game. Really happy with him tonight though, team and tactics seems spot on

 

He's talking about ATB.

 

Alan Pardew, ATB, what's the difference?

 

A winning smile and a way with the ladies.

 

Nah, you should have seen me last night

Jonas isn´t good enough to be a starer. He can do a job as a CM in a 4-3-3, but nothing more then that.

If we play 4-4-2 he shouldn´t start. He offers nothing offensively and it will only invite pressure. Fair enough. Manure is games he should be playing, if he should be playing at all, but not if we plays a 4-4-2.

Of course we won´t play like Barca. But don´t be silly. Against Bordeaux, and how bad they were compared to the PL teams we have been playing, we should be able to control the game better, no matter what you says.

 

We controlled the game from start to finish. Your understanding of football on and off the pitch is apalling.

 

Ok. Then I prefer us to control the game in another way if that was the case...

 

So in other words you would have preferred it if we closed them down in their half and used all our energy to put pressure on them for 90 minutes rather than control the game with patient and clever passing while not emptying ourselves for Sunday?

 

You reason as if the only acceptable approach is to push them into their own box while winning the ball at the half way line and constantly create chances for 90 minutes. Speaks volumes in terms of your understanding of the game, but I bet you've never played yourself which sort of explains it.

We should have kept the ball. Fair enough for the second half. I really didn´t saw the last minutes and with a 3-0 lead it really doesn´t matter how the game works out. But I´m mainly talking about the first half when we had a 1-0 lead.

No I don´t we played that great after 1-0.

And we´re back at this "next week" talk from Pardew about our injured players. Great.

Of course we won´t play like Barca. But don´t be silly. Against Bordeaux, and how bad they were compared to the PL teams we have been playing, we should be able to control the game better, no matter what you says.
