The biggest problem with the midfield 4 you mention is the lack of movement from wide areas, its all quite tame, I think movement is key, Ryan Taylor offers only an early cross from right wing, nothing more. Jonas only seems to make the runs when the ball is in flight rather than running before the ball is hit

But they are effective at it and cause a lot of problems for other team, we don't Yeah, the league table backs up your argument on that one. 3 points off 8th come off it man, survival is success for them and they are nearly there mug And 6th isn't success for us? Oh without a doubt it is, but since the turn of the year we have been fucking terrible and playing very negative football with no plan b. That worries the fuck out of me. If it does not change we won't remain in that top 7 thats for sure

Win today is absolutely vital, fail to win this and I fear we will start to drop over next few games

Novel idea, we should maybe change our game to get around a defence rather than hoofing the ball at him, I believe it boils down to the managers tactics. You only have to look at the scum, they have a lot more runners, options to pass to and drive than when Agent B was in charge. We need to play a game we are good at and become ruthless and hurt teams. You only have to look at the wolves game, we should have just murdered them, instead we paid far to much respect and they looked better team.

You only have to look at Swansea and Norwich and see teams with supposed lesser players than ours outplaying teams at times. We have some quality technique but quite simply don't open the pitch up enough to use it. Movement is next to 0, the formation is very rigid and midfield always seems flat. With the quality we have in the centre and wings we should have torn at least one team a new one, Instead of worrying about what another team is going to do, why not for once let them worry about us and how to contain us. I am totally frustrated at Krul/Williamson/Anyone hoofing the ball up to Ba/Cisse when it is quite clear their strengths are on the ground rather than a bring it down and hold type. We need to use Ba and Cisse's movement and have midfield support. Personally think the best movement we have had is when Jonas played a sort of free role in front of midfield, in fact it seems to suit him more than winger and his short passing and energy work there, whereas on wing his end product is often lacking. Even when we play hoof ball, why do we not have someone chasing up the second ball. That's exactly how other teams are effective at it by getting to the ball when it drops.

Its possibly the way in which this has happened, would be distressing for any player I would imagine

It's a strange one because players tomorrow may not be in right frame of mind, it's shocking for a 23 year old.

Hope so, horrible just horrible

Why are you still watching if it bothers you? Exactly. Because I want to see whats on next Utter utter bollocks. Just don't see why they were going over it when Keegan etc look distressed. I could have turned over yes your right, admittedly I want to see if the lads alright

Are ESPN trying to fill until 19:45, ffs cut the show fucking idiots

Why are they still talking man

I know fucking idiot

Fucking hell hope he is ok, was on laptop and turned around, thought he had just went down injured.

Gap in technique between Spain n England is unreal. They would score 10 against us, chasing shadows

I thought Williamson was fucking terrible, cabaye was shit also n obertan is also shit. Our hoof ball to ba was such a waste of time, we have to start playing from the back rather than this, every time he either never won it or not 1 person was around to take advantage, shit tactic Thought Guthrie was turbo shit, did he touch the ball? Big up Mr T was quality I thought, only him and Colo look like they would fit in arsenal team

Oh and the long ball game has to stop, ba n cisse given no chance, no need for it really

Pardew needs to realise he can't play raylor at right midfield with Jonas on other side, leaves us with next to no creativity, with Ben arfa on both sides opened up, don't care if he does lose the ball at times he has 10 times the technique of our other players and takes 2-3 of their players out of play straight away, they were bricking it every time he got the ball and helped tiote n cabaye start to play, need to be more dangerous from wing n needs sorted for next season, 2 dangerous wide men with end product n we would be a match for most teams (oh n new centre half n full back please)

Missed him loads in last month I think, his presence can make all the difference in some games, looking forward to him n cabaye with double d up front, put some sweet hba action in and I may be escorted from my seat for indecent exposure

I had a mackem bating session on facebook and I swear there were more on there than at the match. I called them out when they said they were skint. I said what if it was us you played on sat, and it all went quiet. If you can't get a full house against Arsenal then quite frankly your shit

posted this in Ba thread oops I was 23 mins late

See his comment about Sullivan

Technically Brighton winning 4-3 in my eyes
