Mick Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Totally agree. People need to understand it's going to take a while for the players to detach themselves from what they've had to endure "coaching" wise over the past four years. Remember how many games it took somebody as good as Keegan to change things after taking over from Allardyce who wasn't in charge for that long. More than happy to give McLaren a chance to show what he can do and so far I've seen things to take positives from. We are not only seeing our game change, we're also seeing him making changes to the starting 11. Dropping Cisse must have been a difficult decision but it was the right one and he made it. So far, the changes are refreshing and it will take time before all of the wrongs are righted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 There was slight in game changes as well, he reacted to the first two mins and altered things slightly. Pardew never did that shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Agree with last few posts. My only knock so far is regarding Obertan. He's leaving his fullback massively exposed and he's doing nothing on the other end to justify it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 We did well today, Mclaren deserves credit for the way we actually played as a team instead of the usual collection of individuals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 There are a couple of selections I disagree with but I'm hoping they'll work themselves out as players become available. Would love to see De Jong playing regularly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Hoping we see Krul Janmaat Colo Mbemba Haidara Anita Moussa Gini Thauvin Perez Mitrovic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I agree with that lineup Would swap Thauvin and Perez though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Hoping we see Krul Janmaat Colo Mbemba Haidara Anita Moussa Gini Thauvin Perez Mitrovic That's what i want as well, i did want to see De Jong behind the striker as well at first with Wijnaldum breaking from midfield to support but i'm now starting to think that 433 is definitely the way to go with this squad.

Kanj Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Yup fine with that. I'd like see Moussa and Gini start dictating central midfield with their dynamic athleticism and pace. Both bombing forward on counter would be lush. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Once Sissoko gets sold, we'll see De Jong get more match time I'd imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Provides balances particularly in the midfield and a good pivot to help us transition from defence to attack. 4231 with Anita and Colback just lacks bite for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Boy Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Hoping we see Krul Janmaat Colo Mbemba Haidara Anita Moussa Gini Thauvin Perez Mitrovic Switch Colo and Mbemba and thats spot on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Kanji, do you have any idea of what kind of LB we should go for in january? With end product please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Really good to hear him say that we've got good footballers and should've been better on the ball, rather than just saying it was a good defensive performance and result. I imagine that's what he means when he says we've got things to work on and will get better, the attacking stuff will come later on. Pardew would've been piping himself off going on about how it was amazing that he'd led little ol' Noocarssle to a draw etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he is, I was just delighted to hear him say it. He knows we're a big club and had laid out expectations for the players. It shows he's got a good mentality that he's not just satisfied with that, plenty of other top level managers would be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna assume he's talking about the quotes that just went up on the official site, obviously need to be a NUFC TV subscriber to watch it which i'm not.
