So cheap to win the ball from us, man.

Good sub.

Willo.

Burned again there.

Tbh I'm loving this Simpson off sub.

Tiote, so careless with the ball at times.

Sammy deserves a goal methinks.

Shola

Right, we're behind. There goes the win.

Great attacking intent so far, just lacking the finish. Their gameplan seems to be to counterattack and to exploit Wilo's indecisiveness and lack of pace.

Was thinking that if we aimed the corner at the opposition, we might snag a few OG's. f*** it and let's just score direct from it.

GW 12 1. 2-2 2. 2-1 3. 3-1 4. 2-1 5. 1-1 6. 2-2 7. 1-2 8. 1-3 9. 2-0 10. 2-1 Might as well be hoofball that #10 like.

International Footballer tbh.

Prolly as close as de Gea's at the ManUre game. Funny how they didn't show the goal-line angle here when they did there.

Wolves away last season! Glad someone still remembers. How about an indirect free kick?

We lost. Short passing that is. Won long balls! http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpxixk2mFd1qjw7iw.gif Out-Sammed Fat Sam in his own game. http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/166/745/queen-rock-group-freddie-mercury-in-concert-at-st-james-park-in-newcastle-1986.jpg?1314380489

Ahh yes, that small squad that he said he was happy with is making him play players with injuries. He just said that when our summer transfers collapsed tbh. Lobbied and failed, only to say "Well I'm happy with this anyway" as if to diffuse the blame.

Tiote wouldn't have gave Nolan freedom of the city. I don't really think Tiote would have made a difference today. He's never consistently tuned in performances at home against the lesser sides. Could have used more power in the middle to combat theirs. That Anita-Cabaye partnership was easily out-muscled by Nolan-Diame imo.

Pathetic. - It's a home game against a club weaker on paper so we slacked off anyway. - We conceded a goal that we could have done something about. (Isn't that my job?) - Big Sam has such an oh so genius tactical masterstroke ticking at West Ham that's impossible to counter. - I just waited for our break which didn't come. Shame. - 9 shots on target. 8 better than the Mackems. Hardly any clear cut, but wheeey. - I tried my very very best against this newly promoted team with such mind-blowing tactics.

You're attacking the only gear that seems to be running properly atm in the rusty ol' Rolls Royce of Newcastle United. His job is to create, and has there been anyone else who's looked closest to creating?

Shades of Yaya Toure with his powerful surging runs which hammered us at times. Wish Tiote could do more of that.

It shocks me how you have that stereotype of flair players not being team players. really? when did i do that? i said HBA is not a team player, and you interpret that as " all flair players are not team players " lol i think thats more of your own view that you're trying to project onto others my friend. and you're doing it unconvincingly. That is not my view in any way, not by a long shot. And perhaps I was unconvincing because I missed the point on how much you ignore his team play, as the main creator of our team. Perhaps the HBA I had in mind at the first sight of your statement was a comparison to a Nani-type of player. I'd agree that a player of his type should be signled out for his lack of team play, but HBA is not in anyway his style. He's weighed down assists and good passes over his time here, and I think he's still created more than anyone else this season. Perhaps it's just easy to judge him for not being a team player today because his passing and dribbles didn't come off. Though throughout the course of the 90, how many more of our players at least tried to play that killer move? Not many, for sure. Our tactics were f***ing dire but at least he tried to pick up the pieces. As said in the Pardew thread, I wouldn't be surprised if Pards is banking on him to be the sole source of attacking creativity for the team.

Pardew's Gameplan imo: 1. Hoof. 2. Pass it to HBA, who probably has more input to our attacking plans than Pards does. 3. Hoof.

It shocks me how you have that stereotype of technically-gifted players not being team players. HBA tries to make things happen and connect our players.
