Gallowgate Toon Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Good words from Paul Simpson in his NUFCTV interview. Said we needed to focus on us, defending how we want to defend, playing to our strengths etc. and worrying about the opposition less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I really like the sound of Simpson from what I've heard so far. TBH the coaching setup change has excited me more than McClaren himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Aye Simpson talks a good game tbh, doesn't sound like he gets involved a lot from technical aspect and that seems to be more Cathro's area of expertise but even so. If he's replacing Stone talking a good game is miles better from a default stand point he isn't saying " you are at your most vulnerable with the ball".

TRon Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I think the goals will come when we lose one of the holding midfielders and that will allow us to play an extra forward/attacking midfielder. Yes we'll be a bit more vulnerable defensively, but at the moment we are neither one thing or the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I've never actually read that quote from a reliable source. Does anyone have a link to the article or video it is from? I have a hard time believing he said that he or he meant exactly that. I would hope he meant something like "the moment you lose the ball, you are most vulnerable" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope he meant something like "the moment you lose the ball, you are most vulnerable" Bit of both really. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thefootballtacticsblog/2011/10/newcastle_profit_from_pardews.html If you are out of position and you lose the ball, teams can cut through you so quickly. When you play Manchester United, Arsenal or Tottenham, for example, you are at your weakest when you have the ball, when you are attacking or when you have a corner.

The College Dropout Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 "If you are out of position and you lose the ball, teams can cut through you so quickly. When you play Manchester United, Arsenal or Tottenham, for example, you are at your weakest when you have the ball, when you are attacking or when you have a corner. "That's when they can hurt you because you are out of position so we try and make sure we are in position as much as possible." It's a very, very defensive mindset but he was talking about defending in particular. It's not as bad a quote as is made out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I also think SMC is from that same school of thought. Our central midfield has 2 very safe passers in it. 2 players whose instincts aren't to break out of position and make a meaningful forward run. But I believe SMC wants to have the ball more... but be careful with it. Pardew preferred not having the ball, waiting for the opponent to lose it and then taking advantage of them being out of position and scoring on the counter. I don't think either approach works well for our club. At SJP you need to be brave. It's why before Ashley we would be strong at home and weak away.

Twinport53 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 TCD, please just shut the fuck up for abit. You are absolutely nauseating. Every single thread is just you on some high horse, pretending you have an all knowing tactical knowledge of the game. It's boring man, the whole forum is sick to death of it. I believe... I think... I know... I understand... I am lead to believe... It is my interpritation that... Gegenpressing... Shuttler... Pardew... It's relentless FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I think McLaren is being pragmatic atm as he knows our defence has been leaking goals for years and seeing as he didn't get any new players his only option is to protect them and drill some organisation into them. If/when he gets better players I think he'll open up and I really hope he starts to do this at home against weaker teams who we should be scoring against. If he's cautious against Watford for example I might start to worry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 He's just making too many bad decisions at the moment forcing us on the back foot from the off Cisse hasn't held the ball up once as far as I can see Wijnaldum is not making enough impact in this position, he needs dropping back Fucking Colback Need to see more Perez, Aarons and De Jong asap We've not been that shit we just don't threaten going forward, there's way too much burden put on Sissoko, Wijnaldum and Thauvin to somehow bridge the gap between a deep defence and their goal.

Hanshithispantz Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Colback for Perez at half-time is the most obvious change ever. If he fails to make it he'll have confirmed my suspicions that he's a cowardly shit cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Been some positive signs in the other matches. Absolutely fuck all tonight so far. If Pardew or Carver was in charge of that we'd be going fucking mental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
