Pilko Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I'm not saying it was wrose than those games, i'm simply saying it was the worst since. Newcastle 0-0 Bristol City Liverpool 3-0 Newcastle Aston Villa 1-0 Newcastle Newcastle 0-1 Fulham Newcastle 1-5 Liverpool Tottenham 1-0 Newcastle Need I go on? All of those games we barely had a shot on target, and for me, that equates to a worse performance. Yes, Smith was shit, Carroll was isolated, Enrique had an off day and Perch was crap in the final third, but we still created enough chances to win the game. Don't you see? It's hardly the end of the world. EDIT: actually, discount the Bristol City game, that was similar to yesterday - visiting keeper plays well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Just seen the Coloccini tackle again. Disgraceful and he should have been sent off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 No matter which way you look at it this is a poor result. It's all about how we react at Goodison, if we bend over and take a hammering I'll start to worry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Don't you realise who we were playing though? Blackpool thoroughly deserved their win, they were the better team. Tjhose results you showed their were mainly against better sides. And four of those were in a 'season of turmoil' against better sides. And the 3-0 against Liverpool doesn't count because i said it was one of the worst since that game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 having slept and calmed down a bit and seeing the highlights we were a bit unlucky, williamsons shot if it had a bit more luck might have gone in their keeper pulled some good saves from barton nolan and carroll and in particular if the barton one had gone in we might have gone on to win it, bad day at the office but the important thing is to respond well and put in a good performance vs everton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnypd Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 looking at the amount of shots to work out who deserved to win is utter bullshit. it completely misses the point that teams have differing game plans and how goals effect the overall pattern of the match.

Kaizero Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 You don't just look at the amount of shots, you look at the game as a whole. Some teams are lucky to win, and some teams are unlucky to lose. It's been like that forever, and it will be like that forever. Saying something else is utter bullshit. Football in general is a game of luck unless you have eleven Messi's on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 This was depressing. Blackpool were not good. Most of their play consisted of long balls forward most of which trailed harmlessly through to Harper. Forget the hype in the news, their keeper saved a couple of shots that were close to him and one good one with his feet but he wasnt under relentless pressure like he should have been. Our defence was ok with both full backs trying to get forward in support of our two wingers who had the beating of their defenders. The deficiencies in our midfield gave Blackpool respite and let them off the hook as Barton, looked a bit off the pace and Smith might as well not have been there. Try as I might, I fail to see what Nolans role in the team is as he is ineffective in midfield and completely immobile up front with only the perfect ball to feet able to find him. Carrolls body language said it all as time after time his suberbly won flick ons wastefully drifted past our flat footed skipper. Poor substitutions made too late ensured the team lost shape and gave the otherwise impressive Ben Arfa a debut to forget. If any good is to come out of this disastrous defeat it is the final reckoning that Smith and Nolan will surely now have to now make way for reserves bolstered by the signing of our two new internationals.

Wullie Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Blackpool were absolutely worthy of their win. More shots and possession ffs, we were at home against a side everyone expects to go down following a 6-0 win, what did you expect them to do, come at us? I could agree if Gilks had been making wondersaves but most of them were either routine or very savable - if an established Premier League keeper had made those saves rather than a top flight rookie, they wouldn't even have got a mention. Shay Given would make two or three better saves than that every week when he was here. Our finishing was dreadful and we made it easy for him. We had at least three one-on-ones and yet the closest we came to scoring was a header from our centre half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Incidentally Blackpool have bagged two away wins already. I wonder how long it will be till we are able to say that? 2011 I'm guessing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Incidentally Blackpool have bagged two away wins already. I wonder how long it will be till we are able to say that? 2011 I'm guessing. They're playing the way a lot of promoted teams do when they first come up - without fear. Hull did it brilliantly when they came up and more or less had the points that kept them up by the end of November. These teams just go out and enjoy themselves, carrying their momentum from the play-offs with them and, importantly, initially play the same way they do at home when they go away. We will of course go away from home and play like frightened kittens. I hate the whole attitude to home and away games, it's become accepted now that teams can cower in their shells away from home. Yes, there is a difference but it's mainly psychological therefore deliberately going out with a different attitude is shooting yourself in the foot before you've even started, you should actually be trying to approach the game in the same way mentally. At the end of the day, it's still 22 blokes kicking a ball round a field, the way folk go on you'd think they play different rules depending on whether you're in Newcastle or Wigan.
