Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Tactics are abysmal, only when the players take matters in to their own hands to do we look threatening.

Guest Geordiesned Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I don't know what's worse. Thinking that Johnson was a Mackem or finding out that he supports us! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 There are positives, and big negatives to take as well. Tiote and Campbell were class, the team performance was good in all honesty, and we worked hard. The injury to HBA and the fact we should have got a point here over write the positives Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Tactics are abysmal, only when the players take matters in to their own hands to do we look threatening. What does that even mean? How can you tell when a player has taken matters into his own hands? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Tactics are abysmal, only when the players take matters in to their own hands to do we look threatening. Didn't think tactics were abysmal. What was abysmal about them? and how do you know players were taking matters in to their own hands at times? any examples of them doing this you can provide?

Fenham Mag Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Howay then Hughton, stand up for the lads. Btw for a Mackem, Adam Johnson didn't hardly celebrate his goal and compare that to his celebration against the mackems last season. Newcastle fan IYAM. Sherlock me like.

Yorkie Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Tactics are abysmal, only when the players take matters in to their own hands to do we look threatening. Don't think they were tbh. Tactics could have won that game with an honest Ref. We could have played the exact same game and got a point, had it not been for the ref. It's frightening the amount of decisions that have gone against us so far this season, genuinely frightening. We certainly deserved to go down in 08/09, but so many things just ache of that year. Scary similarities. The only real difference is that this team has spirit and determination, which i'm praying will be enough to see us through.

Dyeyzzon Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 No way now CH is dropping Nolan...Ben Arfa was the only one in the team who had the capability to eradicate him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 We really should consider starting with both Carroll and Shola. Carroll is actually better at tracking back than Nolan, the supposed midfield stalwart, and doesn't link up with the midfield any worse than Nolan does. Carroll will also cause far more problems as a goal threat. Nolan has had two really bad games in a row now and hasn't got his customary "bail out" goal. His time will soon be up for sure.

stozo Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Played well but were robbed. 3 awful decisions by the ref. Absolutely fuming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 The problem is that points aren't given out for effort. We've been ripped off by the referee today but ultimately we've got too many players who aren't doing enough. Hughton has his work cut out to convince the squad that positives can be taken from performances like this rather than let their heads drop thinking even at our best we're going to lose. Considering the injuries to Ben Arfa and Coloccini it's been a pretty disasterous day. Oh, and City are garbage. s*** team full of reprehensible overpaid workhorses and a vacuous, pathetic crowd. Id agree if it was one bad decision but he essentially changed an away win to a home win we should ne celebrating a ppoint not bemoaning a loss.

Raconteur Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 enrique and barton want shooting for the defending for Johnsons goal, they had 2 on 1 just show him down the line and kept on his right foot and no danger whatsoever, everyone knows he's going to try and cut back on his left foot. This. Barton confused Enrique it seems, Enrique was tracking him inside until Barton ran through. That's what I thought at the time too - seemed like Enrique had it under control, then Barton came flying through and suddenly Johnson was past. Cracking finish, has to be said... Krul - 7 Perch - 5 Williamson - 6 Coloccini - 7 Jose Enrique - 7 Ben Arfa - Barton - 6 Tiote - 8 Jonas - 8 Nolan - 5 Ameobi - 6 Routledge - 5 Campbell - 8 Carroll - 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 One thing that's alarmingly positive is our centre-backs. I've haven't been this confident in a CB 'squad' in years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONTEMPI Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 How do we always get fucking done over time and time again by ref's? Something needs to come in like rugby on major decisions. It wont take more time and these so called top sides will not get half the decisions they usually get! Well pissed off with this shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Positives We probably deserved a draw. Jonas Gutierrez played fantastically/consistently had a decent end-product. Good response after the Stoke defeat - no problem with spiralling deflation it seems. Campbell did brilliant for Colo when he came on. Hughton brought himself to substitute Nolan! Tiote. Krul beginning to command his box a bit more/come off his goal line every now and again. Negatives We got nothing from the result. Ben Arfa injury looks serious. When Carroll comes on we play long ball/hit'n'hope. Routledge was very poor. Perch continues to look shaky. Shola played poorly. The ref did us no favours. Edit: Oh, and Nolan was so anonymous it's barely believable he played today. [/iMO] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
