no, i cant say i blame him too much, given the circumstance, he was nervous about pushing up, you can see it quite clearly, that would leave space, and spurs, today looked like any tiny gap left in midfield, they would exploit it. and they did.

in hindsight given the players we had at our disposal we should have just launched the ball like we usually do instead of "letting our hair down" and trying to play football.

Good post Wullie. Pardew did accept responsibility for the result as he said he had to pick the side based on the performance of the strikers last week. Ignoring the fact that he didn't pick the strikers who won the game last week to start, and it was by accident they played and won the game - you have to wonder why not treat each opponent on their merits? What use is all the pro-zone stat knowledge when it's not relevant to the opposition you are facing? Pardew admitted in the pre-match interview he was worried about the height of the Spurs team yet it was on the floor we were ripped apart from one end of the pitch to the other. It was such a strange comment as anyone who has watched even a few Spurs games would know that height isn't the basis of their attacking threat. if he's not careful he's going to turn into fat sam saladface with all that pro zone bullsh1t

I still think we played worse at Blackburn (just that they are far far worse)......... at home vs west brom was a shocker too. away to qpr was another stinker although it was a draw.

there's a reason why i call him Danny 'longball' Simpson because thats all he does when it comes to his passing distribution. You watch the boy, he will always try and cross the ball rather than pass it simple, he will lump it long or cross, he never passes on the floor, when he does, its terrible. He's not too bad when it comes to actual defending, his pace helps himself out of some sticky situations when he's out of position.

he looked more useful out of the two forwards today. he can cross better than most of our wingers. that much we knew from today.

he was just poo, luxury player , completely useless today, pulled out of almost every 50/50 challenge, looked lazy.

he deserves abit stick for his poor performance today, if people like to slag every little thing that shola does then Ba is not immune to criticism after today's run out.

Ryan Taylor sadly. lol

"They were very good and we had a problem today. We've got three of our first-choice midfield out and that was just too much." tiote , cabaye, who's the other one? Marveaux? really pards?

the thing is, it depends on who we play against, vs teams that are superior, city, man utd, spuds,etc i have no problem with Pards starting with players like raylor, fergie, lovens , best, these players at least will always cover a lot of ground. if we want to keep things tight we need that workrate.

played too many high lines he means, daft git

to be fair, i cant see how the scoreline would have been any different had HBA started instead of Oberdong. our highline basically fucked our whole game up, and the rest of the game we had no movement from midfield thus resulting in nobody to pass to and losing the ball.

fuck sake when everyone is back, raylor back at leftback? Santon is not a bad shout for right wing. his defensive positioning is not going to improve playing at rightback.

first ten mins of that game we got completely splunkened on .

fuck sake jonas almost got us that honor goal

ohhh look at that tart raising that pole

I'll have vowel please Rachel. lol not so much the american spelling, more to do with the term, first time i ever heard a consolidation goal as that. sounds like some mantra from an ancient warlord who likes to watch football. like 300 or something. "get out there!!! and get that honor goal!!!! wahhhhaahh!!!!!!"

our inability to pass a nd keep hold of the ball has been filthy disgusting

'honor' goal lol hahahaha

yet pardew insist on playing the same highline. beggers belief

Think he meant, we will let our hair down and surrender. let our pants down and get rogered more like

for the few moments that cisse had of the ball he's been good, not the same i can say for Ba. surprised he's coming off instead of Ba

fuck off harry

i think are front two has been infected by Sholalitus
