BeloEmre Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 57%-43% to us 61% possession, 10 shots to 5 for them. We're Barca. Without Messi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 We're getting an amazing amount of space to play in, but we've not taken advantage. We seem to be relying a lot on individual efforts down the wings. There's not much clever interpassing to open things up, but I guess that's the way we're set up.

Yorkie Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 All fart and no shit at the moment; a marked improvement on the last game is overshadowed by the fact that Villa have had a clear-cut chance and scored, whereas we've done neither. Obertan for Barton looks like a dreadful transition so far. The only means of attack seems to be "pass, move, give to Raylor, waste cross." There's goals in it from us but i'd like to see some changes sooner rather than later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Rather see Marveaux instead of Guiterrez personally. This is the move I'd make atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
angrypirate71 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 We're pinging balls right on to their twin monsters every time. Either run at 'em or win some of those headers in the box..time for the Ameobis? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Wish we could bring Ben Arfa on... Or Carroll, Barton and Nolan. Players who've actually done more than just scoring 1 goal for us in the last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Playing canny... Our best performance so far this season... Still poor in the final third though... yep- we sold all our best goal scorers, so now we struggle to score. quite predictable tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, it would ruin the balance we've got at the moment I think. Jonas is pretty important defensively too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrSundlofer Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Best half of the season by miles. Don't deserve to be behind. Agree. A very good half from us. Passing the ball around well and are in control of the game, though we're not in the lead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I'd leave it as is. We're playing well - just need a slice of luck or a good cross to come off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Definitely not out of this, we just need to keep ahold of the midfield and be mindful of being caught on the counter. Radio Newcastle reckon we need more movement from Ba and Best - fair comment or not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I'd get Jonas on the right and Marveaux on the left, tbh. It's how i'd start every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 wow best we have played all season and were behind after almost their first attack. Shit that were trailing but the positives are a very good silver lining because i didnt know we were capable of playing this good a game of possesion and quick incisive passing. We do look like finding goals is guna be a problem as all the commentators/pundits keep telling us and villa look very dangerous on the break and they will probs score again on the break. It's like they are the away team! especially with the noise our fans are making, very impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I'd get Jonas on the right and Marveaux on the left, tbh. It's how i'd start every game. Would make this change, but not just yet. We're playing well, give it another 15mins+ to see if we can carve something out before making a change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest H09 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 We haven't had any big chances, controlled the game but not really had a proper effort to show for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Rather see Marveaux instead of Guiterrez personally. This is the move I'd make atm. We need Jonas. Jonas and Cabaye have been our best attacking players. Just have no one to aim at as Ba and Best have been poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Key that it's been kept to one goal, and if we can keep them out at the early part of the first half we'll have a good chance. Good that Obertan is getting a lot of the ball. It's the only way he'll keep improving and becoming more decisive and confident, with the natural talent he posesses it will be well worth when it clicks. Really good Ba appears to be taking his opportunity having finally started a game/ Cannot afford to have Shola get another look in regarding a place in the first eleven.
