Guest je85 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 to play 3 defenders at the back is just a freakin joke! we need to have 4 defenders and stick with that....its the only way forward...no matter who is available! It wont help us in the long run to shuffle the tactics so much especially not at the back! Teams have done well with 3 at the back against Stoke this season, extra height for defending setpieces.

I'd say it does, unless you start chucking extra centre halves in midfield to get height in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 No need to get personal, lots of people on here hold pessimistic views on various matters. Some are probably overly so but it doesn't mean they should be slagged off for it. There's a massive difference between being negative and talking utter bollocks though. It's the lads opinion ffs. That we'll not win another game this season? Sounds like he's deliberately out for a bite tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flatline Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 am I? Already we are fuzzing out, bottom teams started picking up points... pray to god we can get another 3-4 points, thats the max I think we`ll get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Flatline Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 We will see, I still stand firm: We struggle to score. When we do score, we concede 2... whats the point in fighting for the odd goal here and there only to give 2 freebies within 20 minutes anyway. Our defense is all over the place.

Bit unfair on the lad if thats the case. It's good to have a bit variety on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 We struggle to score. 8 goals in our last 5 league games. When we do score, we concede 2... After scoring in a game, we've only conceded 2 or more three times under Pardew (Man City, Arsenal, Everton). Our defense is all over the place. 10 goals conceded in the last 10 league games (and that includes Arsenal). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Don't bother with facts mate, we lost one game, so we're the worst team in the world again. We're going to go down despite the fact that we're still not even in bottom three form and are 5 points ahead of the kind of teams that struggle to get 5 points from 7 or 8 games. The fourth bottom teams going to need 45 or so points to stay up don't you know, why?, well based on.. erm nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 You never said that and I never said that we do. You said we couldn't score, which we clearly can, and that we keep losing after scoring, which we don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flatline Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 we keep losing points, regardless of whether we score or not. Cause for concern. Not to mention giving away games. Its hardly something new though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Of course there's cause for concern, but that's quite different to claiming we can't score, can't defend, will struggle to get 3 points from the next 9 games ect (yes I know that bit was Brazilianbob not you).

Pilko Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Pardew's comments on .co.uk suggest to me we'll be seeing Perch or Simpson at left-back and not Ferguson. He says he needs 'big headers of the ball and the team selection will reflect that' or something of that ilk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest je85 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Not a bad idea, could see Ferguson getting eaten by Huth, Shawcross, Carew, Jones, Walters etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hopefully Perch, because it's a waste of Simpson to put him there. Can't believe I just said that... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Perch at left-back away at Spurs wasn't too bad an experiment. He wasn't brilliant by any stretch, but he coped okay. I do hope Ferguson starts on the left side of midfield, however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
