Stoke City vs. Newcastle United - 28/11/12 @ 7.45pm (No TV)
SiLvOR replied to bowlingcrofty's topic in Football
Usually I love having mid week games, brilliant having an extra game to look forward to. After yesterday though, my God, my spirit has been broken . -
With you there, coming back on the train I had the same feels as I did coming home from the Leyton Orient game.

If people haven't been alarmed by any of the following: Our last 3 results v West Ham, Swansea and Southampton not exactly the hardest set of games. Our performances all season Tactics Then I don't know when the alarm bells will ring for them. If we don't reinforce in Jan, then I'll go full blown panic mode. Until then I'm holding on to a very small grain of hope that we can turn it around.

Just got back from this, not really sure where to begin in all honesty. Having said that, I'll start with the positives . The beginning of the second half, we looked like we were actually playing football. Anita was pushed further up the field and we kept it on the floor and looked like we would actually threaten. Then the second goal went in. The fact that we made Southampton look a lot better than us is really quite ridiculous. We struggled to string two passes together for a lot of the game and as soon as they scored the second we really did just have no clue. Resorting to punting it up field to non existent target men, which resulted in us constantly losing possession didn't help us get a foothold in the game at all. Without Tim Krul and the goal posts we would have lost this 6-0 and that's not even exaggerating. It's obvious to say, but Williamson and Simpson really aren't good enough for our ambitions of where we want to be. Santon had a pretty poor game for us as well, although I did like how he came over to apologise after the game. Sammy was shocking, first touch was ridiculously bad. Cisse was trying throughout, but with literally no service what the hell can the guy be expected to do? Jonas was awful as well, gave it away so many times and looked really pedestrian, going through the motions for the duration. Yet I can't really see how we're going to change things until January. If we're going to play the long ball then so be it, but we need a target man. No good pinging it to Cisse's nut, he isn't going to hold it up as that's not his game. Been done to death about formations and so forth, but I really can't see us getting another win any time soon in a 4-4-2 with seemingly no coherent game plan. Alarm bells might be ringing soon.

Still debating actually catching my train this morning.

it was so cringey man, if Suarez had done that we'd be foaming.
-
Going to this lads so don't worry, I've got a decent record. Could still lose 4-0 though.
-
Of course he gets injured right before I'm about to see him live

Fuck me, that's some bewwwing there.
-
We're literally going to just about see this out aren't we

This looks like a pre season friendly ffs, no tempo at all.
-
Lee Ryder @lee_ryder Marveaux and Sammy Ameobi have switched flanks #nufc such a fucking bullet that man. They've done it about 3 times already ffs
-
Also like how the 2 wide men seem to be swapping wings pretty often, again something we desperately need , stops us being so predictable.
-
Sort of movement we desperately need btw, gotta give options like that to our players on the ball.
-
Colo love it when he mugs a striker off like that.
-
Good movement there from Marv and Ben Arfa, lovely little through ball that as well. Encouraging
-
I'm desperate for Cisse to get a proper good goal tonight, like a first time woof right in the top corner. Make it happen football Gods
-
Really hope Hatem can tear this lot apart
-
