afar Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Not as bad as the second half against wolves but that's as bad we've played in a half of football at home this season. Need a major improvement to get the win we really should be expecting from this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Ben Arfa warming up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Martinez has dicked Pardew here. Incorrect Pardew was never going to change the side However, second half i expect Best off for HBA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIFKO Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Not up to our recent standards that half. A kick up the arse is needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 2 minutes of highlights rescuable for MOTD. Very poor. All the positive spin I've heard re Pardew being quick to change things, I'm not seeing it here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Only Jonas has played well. There seem to be more Wigan players than Newcastle players everywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Cabaye's never had the ball. Tiote's been our best player by a country mile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 s*** half, knew it was guna happen. Hope it's one of those games where we play shit but grind out a result, especially as i'm not looking forward to a Monday night game against Stoke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Think Cabaye has been very average, being outnumbered in the midfield. Id bring Ben Arfa on for Obertan and Santon on for Simpson. If Jonas doesnt improve bring Marveaux on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Predictably lacklustre first half. We'll win this 3-0 if we get an early goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 midfield struggling in this one, they are passing it around middle too easily. Raylor is getting skinned every time he leaves his attacker space, they seem to have loads of time to get their crosses/shots/whatever in . Wwe need to be pressing faster and more. I would have Ba off aswell, leave best forward (good at holding up ball) and get benarfa in midfield aswell to ehlp out and to forma attacks. Obertan is playing ok, would change a little later if nothing happens... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Simpson and Obertan are trash, sub them both for Santon and HBA respectfully please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 the idea of Pardew changing anything before the 70th minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Really poor first half. As usual, we come out of the blocks as fast as Matty Pattison. Cabaye and Obertan have been anonymous. Raylor has been a liability and Martinez has clearly just told his players to target him. This has meant Jonas has had to drop back way too far and pick up possession with his back to goal. Wigan time-wasting from the off, too. Frustrating as fuck. Was that Pardew's attempt to bring back the crowds to SJP... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garth Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 What a shit half, we are showing these guys to much respect and paying for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 That was dire. Taylor is the weak link; most of their attacks have come down our left. We haven't created much, wasted a lot of possession and haven't defended well, giving them lots of time and space in front of our area and letting them get in behind us more than a few times.

Cronky Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 It just shows you the difference that Krul is making to the side. Last season, we'd be 1-0 down and under a lot of pressure. Wigan look dangerous on the break, but not in other situations. We still look the more likely to score, but may need to add a bit of unpredictability with Benny or Marv in the last 20 minutes.

Jayson Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Best and Ba have been outmuscled by their defenders so far, Cabayes been Marked out of it, Obertan is running again and not delivering much. Tiote/Guti are the only ones to have been dictating anything close to positive play. Needa sort it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Very similar to our 1st half against them. Lacking cutting edge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
