Long balls at cisse still..

I know obertan put a shit cross in, but there was no support at all near him..

Exactly, happened way to many times for me. Players running at Colo and Williamson is exactly what we don't want. Pardew should just say, one sit back two attack but I honestly don't even think he does cause our midfield is always a mess when we are being countered.

Disgraceful dive by Rodriguez btw

Such a finish by Walters

We have zero movement, zero attacking game plan, it's like every man for themselves. It's bloody awful.

We even have anita from Ajax, a pass n move club smashing long balls at cisse who's 5'11, can only be pardews fault this crap.

Why the hell are we constantly hoofing it at cisse?

Is Williamson fucking stupid like? Every time just smashes it nowhere

We have no idea what to do with the ball.. Same problems we've had all season..

Why is Williamson whacking it long with Anita right infront of him.

And we thought we had problems from corners

Has to be cabaye, knowing pardew shola will end up captain

If we want someone to play along side cisse we should be after a rooney type striker, ie link the midfield to cisse IMO.

Or when he's chasing after a ball.. I reckon I could beat him to the ball and I'm in my living room.

Lol that bloody phrase, unfortunately it's the only way we are likely to win

Win at all costs.. This is ultimately huge for us because if we loose the team confidence will be so low we'll be in a even worse free fall. Hopefully debuchy and cabaye give everyone a boost and a bit of a spark.

He must suck at hoofing it in training

Think he should have had more opportunities on the left myself, gives proper width going forward with Santon cutting in quite often and a good crosser. Also tracks back well when we are under pressure and covers Santons runs. Debuchy running up the right and Ferguson on the left, cant see anything wrong with that and both can cross, well i know Ferguson can unsure about Debuchy? cant be any worse then Simpson i suppose. Debuchy was the 2nd most accurate crosser of the ball in france last season.

Do you think swansea were more defensive last season due to the fact it was their first season up, they had less quality players and didn't want to end up getting relegated? Pardew seems obsessed with defending a 1 goal lead, the weird thing is we'd probably actually be better keeping hold of the ball doing nothing with it than just punting it up field and sitting deep.

Right now i'd just be happy if when one of our players has the ball, someone else in B&W makes some movement and shows for the ball.

I hate it, it's completely pointless. They go on and on with dozens of useless horizontal passes, no crosses, no variety, no through balls, no plan B. At some point, ball to Messi, goal. Rinse and repeat. Great Just look at the Swansea game last year: they kept the ball the whole time, passed with impressive accuracy, did f*** all and we got the points. I seriously fall asleep when Barca and friends play. Comparing Swansea to Barcelona. Why not? The players are different, but the boring football is the same. Swansea last season play in a completely different style to Barcelona. Yes they may have kept the ball but a lot of the time their play didn't have any real purpose and the likes of Allen and Brittain were just recycling possession by passing it backwards or sidewards. Not only do Barca keep the ball but the always looks to pass forward at any available opportunity. Yes well, so did Swansea. I hardly believe that their goal was to waste time recycling useless possession just for the sake of it. Most of the time they didn't have a clue, and the same happens to Barcelona. Of course the difference is that in 90' the spaniards always manage to crack the opposition's defense cause they have a huge amount of talent and you hardly manage to contain them. But for the rest of it, is just a complete bore. Out of interest what kind of style do you prefer, or what team would you like us to be like style wise?

My reply was more directed towards the "most boring football" remark.. Have you seen us play? be more fun poking my eyes out.. We've been boring as fuck this season. I dream of the day Newcastle can play pass n move football, we've done it about once in 2 years.

Their chairman seems to have a smart head on him, he's gone out if his way to put the way the club should play football etc first instead of hiring any old person.
