Having watched those highlights those Best misses have been exaggerated a little bit.

There was a moment in the first half, about 20 mins in, when Krul bounced the ball and it stuck to the ground as it hit a wet patch.  :lol:

Highlights make it look like Krul saved us from an absolute arse-kicking. :undecided:

 

Some dire defending from set pieces.

 

From the highlights, aye - Krul was forced into a couple of very good saves, but it was never that. Even game by all accounts and we could've nicked it had the ninety been played, imo.

The arse-kicking was more in the first half and was due to much slicker passing (especially into the channels to players who were unmarked ... both Jose and Simpson were tending to mark the inner of the two players and seemed to totally forget runners behind them. Collo was sometimes playing as the LB to cover this). Still happened in the second half but it was more like basketball (one side attacking then straight to the other as Strola and Ba worked more to head the ball on ... not pretty but meant the ball didn't bounce back all the time) ...

:thup: that's about right. We had better possession but they used the ball more effectively. It was encouraging, because Pardew has been saying we need to keep the ball more - that's what we did. We just lacked a bit of killer instinct, Cabaye's through balls aside.

:sadnod: Looks f***ing awful. Not looking forward to seeing it in person when I go to a game.

Was reading the People's match report. Such a load of bollocks.

 

Cabaye's "not fit to lace Barton's boots" apparently, because he had a "tame free kick saved". Barton "thrives on free kicks outside the area" apparently.
