I like this thread. Sometimes a point made in a thread gets washed away so now and again having a topic which could easily be in another thread, makes it easier for a proper discussion. I remember that article from last year where it said Pardew worked on the defensive stuff four times a week and then Carver worked for a day on attacking. This worried me at the time and in view of our performances both last season and this season, it does still worry me. I think Anita can really help us to speed up our tempo through the middle but he's not quite there yet

would lose some respect for him if he went there

because only ferguson can cross well

I want him on the wing over fullback. He has the pace and crossing ability that is best utilised on the wing. Like a lot on here, he needs to start and we should be looking to get him in our best 11 because his crossing is better than anything we've had in years

Bloody hell, Madras is back. And right too. Good to see

The long ball shit is painful and I think it's principally down to him not wanting us to lose our shape. Pardew loves to keep things really regimented and long ball suits that, if we start moving it around a lot more in the middle, I imagine he'll view that as potentially way more dangerous were we to lose the ball than us losing the ball all the time with hoofing but keeping our shape. If that is the case, it's a fucking joke

Matches like this are fucking gutting. We have wasted the chance to collect points which will fuck us later on, we were appalling and have been in the bottom five so far this season in how we've played across all games. I feel sorry for Reading that we took the points away from them with a handball. Sickening stuf

Should be fined two weeks wages for saying that and bringing the game into disrepute

He's been absolutely woeful this season. We can say goodbye to playing flowing football with Jonas heavily involved. Nowadays, he's a DM on the wing who cuts in centrally to perform defensive duties. It's an important role but shouldn't be in a team which already has Tiote (and either Bigi or Anita). We rely far too heavily on cutting out other teams strengths instead of actually trying to create lots of chances ourselves. I was very critical of Pardew last season until the last ten games of the season. I thought we'd turned a corner but this season has been dogshit so far. Needs turning around fast

This, our system is not a good system for strikers as we have no movement for them. Essentially, the way we play does not play to the strengths of two of our greatest strengths, Cisse and Ba

This lad got completely fucked by his teammates and our lack of movement today. It's fucking criminal how slowly we move the ball around in the opponent's half and it's always ridiculously systematic and almost never goes through the middle. This is a problem when we don't play our only player who can really cross a ball (ferguson). Hatem has saved our asses all season but he can't do it everytime.

The ref decisions have been comically bad

This blurry pile of utter shite. Can barely see a thing

This is dogshit. Can't call it anything else

Not happy at all with our approach to this game

The tempo is shocking

Hope arsenal smash them

I like guthrie a lot, hope he has a top career

'I will keep them private, i'll just tell a national newspaper' What is this clown doing? continuing the destruction of Liverpool. They are dying as a club

blackburn are fucking class

he had the opportunity to go there as a replacement, but he would have left it he didn't want to be here

I remember Le Fondre scoring penalties for Rotherham on The Football League Show every week when we were in the Championship, he was also mint on FM a few years back. Big step up for him. Personally think he's one of their best players and has a lot of technical ability

Personally think we'll finish above Everton. They move the ball much better than us and are fluid but I think goals will be a problem over the season for them. We've played shite so far and will only get better. I think we've got a very good chance of sixth

While this is funny, he deserves a fine. He's a fucking twat

Shocking thread that. Why is it even a talking point, like anyone gives a shit
