Neil Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 How the hell we managed to not score in the 2nd half, I don't know. Coleman should have had a hat-trick. We've consistently been rather un-clinical. We had 3 or 4 situations today where I'd expect the attacking team (us) to score normally, but we cocked up every one. It was quite worrying, but we didn't pay for it today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Taylor makes exactly the same run on the Arteta shot and the Osman goal. His booking was laughable, he hacked an Everton player and went down as if he'd been shot to try and get out of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brazilianbob Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 This home form is now completely unacceptable! It is relegation form no more no less, and it is certainly no better than our performances under CH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that makes it all worthwhile thenassuming this squad is now capable of winning another game this season! The players are now going into home games accepting we won't win. If our away form takes the expected dip then we will be in real trouble especially if the injured players , Barton, ireland, Ben Arfa, Enrique, Ranger dont feature for a few gamesor more in the case of Ben Arfa. I sincerely hope i'm wrong but the tell tale signs are all there. Pardew has allowed the players to lose their focus by taking about europe rather than actually getting the job done of retaining our EPL status. Its gonna be fun seeing Carroll crack the goals in for Liverpool!!! but hey much better to have cash in the bank than points on the board eh! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is relegation form no more no less, and it is certainly no better than our performances under CH. Unless we lose the next game it is actually better form than under Hughton. But we've now reached a stage of the season where it's difficult to compare CH and Pardew. The fixtures are now starting to wear on our squad, which has little depth. The probability of injuries increases with the amount games played. This affects Pardew's results of winning. When CH was in charge, we did not have so many games under our belt, and consequently we did not have so many injuries. That had an advantage for CH. Besides, CH benefited from Carroll, which Pardew didn't.l The question you really need to ask is: Would CH have manged a better track record than Pardew with the same amount of players available. The probable answer is no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact we have matched our earlier form against tougher opponents without certain players shows we arent doing too badly though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a tight run, and we'll have players back soon. And Lpool has a hell of a run in with many tough opponents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I went to the game convincing myself against my better judgement that we can climb above Liverpool to salvage some pride and justice from another crap year. I should have known better. I know now from watching this that our squad cannot cope with any key player missing and what is left cannot adapt to Pardews reasonable attempts at formation changes. What we witnessed yesterday were too many players out of their comfort zone unable to cope with the covering and support roles that the ambitious formation demanded. With some of the players it may be lack of fitness, awareness, ability, or more likely all three to varying degrees but I was left with the overall impression that Pardew is trying in vain to make a silk purse out of a sows ear. Survival is now the only thing left for us, That and the satisfaction of knowing we still have the best support in the land. Home form like ours and still 50K there singing in vain in the last 20mns to lift the side. We deserve so much more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 For a long parts we were not good yesterday. But I agree. We wasn´t that bad. It wasn´t our day. Pardew did mistakes, the players, it was just a crap day. I think I am the first person to be disappointed because I really wanted us to win. But come on.
