clintdempsey Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 In his defense we're unbeaten so far and have only conceded 1 goal in four PL games. Oh, and we're fourth in the league. Can't deny we're playing dull football and not looking like ever scoring again though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 At least got his substitutions right (for the most part), but they were too late and it was painfully obvious that they some players out there should not have started tonight. He missed the most obvious one tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 This shitty performance is on Pardew. Why the f*** did Raylor get a whole game? You have to wonder if he's our new regular left back. Changes were too little too late. Don't know what the f*** he was thinking today. We were so gash - and he did nothing. Horrible. Fair play if he thinks Santon should make his debut at home to ease him in. No more excuse though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Only saw the second half (and read about the first on here!) but that was a fairly damning indictment of Pardew's managerial skills (if we forget his lies for a moment). Wanka' No longer do we have a team and manager we're proud of, instead we have a team who play like a shit Stoke and players and a manager we're not fond of. STaylor's job when Raylor had that freekick was to be a dick That was funny tbf. He actually ended up saving our bacon, but as ever, walking liability/certifiable moron. The role of full-backs in the modern game can't be understated - yet Pardew does seem to ignore this. Without ball-playing full-backs, a team becomes shit. Jonas is pegged back/stifled, Tiote can't play a passing game/becomes flustered on the ball with no options/strikers get long balls/opposition get more possession and the defence is under more pressure. Fucking annoying. Still at least we're fourth and more cracks have been papered over. [/garbled rant over] Just realised our team has played about 25 minutes (last 5 of the first half v Fulham, second 20 of second half v Fulham) of decent football this season so far. How the fuck we have 8 points is unfair on our opposition and spawny as fuck for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Can't argue with the points return but anyone with eyes can see we're riding our luck massively so far. We can't keep relying on our opponents to let us off the hook. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineBarrens Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 If he picks Shola and Ryan Taylor against Villa he deserves to be bummed by Tessa Sanderson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Can't believe our fans were singing his name in the Fulham game. The jury is still out on him, thanks mainly to the incompetent twats upstairs. But now that he says he's "happy" with the squad, there's no excuses for performances like tonight.

EthiGeordie Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I wouldn't say his worst but I just really want to know the wisdom of playing Shola specially for the second half. If he don't play Marvex in his postion on Saturday we will lose heavly... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Gloriously idiotic today. Will reserve judgement until next week when we'll hopefully put out a team that doesn't contain Ryan Taylor and Shola Ameobi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the sort of shit we were laughing at them for last season, saying their luck was soon to be running out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hughton got grief for his decision making/subs, but he would have seen what needed to be changed tonight. Completely unacceptable from Pardew tonight, he better rectify it for the next match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Incredibly lucky tonight. How he did not sub Shola and Ryan Taylor at halftime I don't know. It was there for everyone to see. Hughton had a habit of learning from his mistakes when it came to pick teams. Just hope to god Pardew has the same, otherwise I can see trouble. The quality is there, he just needs to use it and get the formation right. Shola and Best upfront is too static, we've got our midfielders sitting to deep leaving a GIANT gap between their midfield and defence. Ben Arfa in the hole could be the solution, until then he needs to start Ba - a bit more dynamic - or use Marveaux/Obertan/Jonas behind Best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is complaining about the points on the board. To wait until the results are on a par with the performances before you acknowledge/pipe up that there are problems which require addressing is folly.
