Guest MrSundlofer Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I cannot see why people are trying to blame Pardew for this Probably because we were bossing the game, Jol responded with a switch in formation and then we were left floundering while 4 goals flew into our net. Could say all 4 goals was caused by counter attacks. We lost the ball. Who lost the ball? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 We play a high fucking line. We're getting raped. Change it. It's not that fucking hard, is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I hope he persists with the 4-3-3 and doesn't use today as an excuse to change things, as the first half was the best I've seen us play away from home for a long time. We can't keep including Shola, though. We just can't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 What the hell was the plan in the second half? Go behind then revert to type. 4-4-2, hoof it and bring on Perch. Super stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagten Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Why in gods name did we shift from the brilliantly effective midfield 3, where jonas was outstanding, to hoofball shite, removing jonas from the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The high line bollocks against pacy strikers. He got fair warning against WBA. Andy Johnson coming on to aid diving pricks like Duff on the field should have set alarm bells ringing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagten Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 He is a good motivator, but tactically, he is one dimensional. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't keep including Shola, though. We just can't. Yep. I'd rather play Loven/Ranger/Best up front if we're going 4-3-3. Shola is not good enough. It really is that simple.

Guest Dontooner Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 It was bloody obvious they were counterattacking and they were in NumberS. We should have sat deep and crowded our own half and play them on the counter. Pardew didnt even change it when they equalised.... good that he learned how to play the team into possession and progressive attacking football. But now he has to fine tune it because it doesnt work throughout the match it would leave you too exposed at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Needs to work the shit out of that defence in training this week. They looked like they had never played with each other before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Seems to keep making the same mistakes sometimes. He obviously has some tactical flexibility, our formation at start was unusual, and worked, but second half got it so wrong and then worst is he didn't fix it.

Numbers Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Should have changed things when we went 2-1 down, was obvious to everyone (except Pardew) we were getting bummed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tachikoma Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Fucking shite pards! Bringing perch on when there was still enough time was fucking shocking I dunno, that actually made sense to me. Guthrie had totally lost it at that point and was just giving the ball away for nothing. Pardew should have been telling the players to slow down the game in the second half, instead we got cocky and paid for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now he has to fine tune it because it doesnt work throughout the match it would leave you too exposed at times. I think so too. Don't think he had many options on the bench though tbh. I think i would have been tempted to take Shola off, put Best in the middle and play Obertan on the left (if he can cut inside he might be a little more inclined to take a man on). Think we could have countered then with Obertan and Ben Arfa down the flanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoli Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Some similarities as the Chelsea defeat. Very vulnerable to the counter-attacks on our flanks with our fulbacks caught out. No change in tactics. Not learning from the alarm bells ringing as all could see we were being exploited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 When did he change our 4-3-3 system? Before or after the goal? Same question for our hoofball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I'll flip if he tries and defends that performance. Needs to come out, hold his hands up and say he got the 2nd half wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 He doesn't react until it's too late when things are not going well. Like last week, the Cabaye injury saved him as it forced him to changing tactics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
