Sima Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 How the fuck did Ben Arfa do that? I demand gifs. He's the kid on FIFA who can do all the skill moves and get them to actually work. I played someone like that today. Was raging. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 2-0 a harsh scoreline or...? I see you conceded a penalty from a clear handball... nah, we've gotten what we've deserved out of that half. will take a massive effort and upswing in fortune to get anything out of this game now. can't see how pardew can change things really, quality just doesn't match up to theirs.

Wullie Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 now for the haters of Best, you can see how important he is to the team. The ones you've just invented? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 The pen was fair enough. Whilst I don't think he moved his arm towards the ball, if you try to block a shot with your arms that far away from your body, most refs will give it. The second goal just exposed Raylor's limitations as a defender. He wasn't able to adjust his body and footwork quickly enough. On the plus side, Ben Arfa has had his good moments, and Sammy looks like a first team player, no question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Honestly, what the f*** was Raylor thinking waving his hand like that? Bloody stupid. Probably a goal if his hand ain't there. With Krul about, I'm not sure. Have to see a replay again. Not his fault for that one IMO. That kinda stuff just happens, and when they're firing in as many balls into our box as they were it was bound to happen. Could just as easily been Colo, Saylor or Simpson. His overall play has been particularly poor though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 :'( As soon as we started to grow into the game I knew we'd concede. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 No great shame here. Pity the manner in which we conceded, but there was an inevitability in City's play. If we were gonna get anything from the game today, we needed: A, Ba to hold up the ball. B, Jonas to defend well. C, Krul to keep possession. None of those things have happened, and we were always going to concede at some point, especially looking at the possession stats. That's regardless of Raylor's howlers. Both goals were errors and we had two great chances on the head and foot of our best striker. Nothing was inevitable. We haven't performed when necessary.

Skirge Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 When we do play and pass we get to see the quality of HBA, no point hoofing it when he is on the pitch.. KEEP it on the deck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Still not over. A goal and we're very much back in it. Probably would take Raylor off at half time. The penalty decision probably has taken some confidence of him. Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if he scored. Amazing that you're so good at betting with logic like that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Ryan Taylor's cost us this. Very good for 40 mins. Hope it doesn't get ugly 2nd half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you conceded a penalty from a clear handball... this one look intentional neil no dispute penalty... dont try bring back gosling again. I couldn't resist. It was in part due to the fact we got a penalty given against us in the 1st half which was ridiculously harsh on us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 If only Raylor & Ba do what theyre capable of we'd be winning this game Ryan Taylor did do what he's capable of, that's why we're 2 down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 It would be typical if we manage to fail to score past this shaky City defence. Fucks sake. We should grow some balls and give it a real go in the 2nd half. We haven't gotten past their midfield all game long, not sure how we're supposed to even threaten their defence. Unless Ben Arfa decides to dribble through their whole team and score himself, anyway. Well, how about if we start to try to get behind their midfield and defence?! Extra effort, balls and quality needed. Just give it a real gutsy go in the 2nd half ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Impressived with Ben Arfa btw. The one chance he created for Ba was excellent. Absolutely, I thought he was going to shoot but then did lovely pass to Ba, in retrospect should have shot since Ba failed, but imo was a fair decision since the set up for Ba was absolutely inch perfect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo_11 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Penalty was correct, but wasn't a deliberate hand ball from Taylor. The second goal was shocking from Raylor, he was caught on the wrong side as he lost track of where Richards was and he took a poor first touch. For a defender it was a decent finish from Richards on the volley. I would think about bringing Santon on for Taylor second half as Richards has been having a field day down the left side. Its a shame that its 2-0 as potentially it could have been Newcastle leading 2-0 had Ba put away his chances. I think the free header in the 6 yard box he could have done a lot better with and at least worked Hart. Ben Arfa has been decent, some nice bits of skill, but some loose passes. Sammy has been quite good on the right, maybe try and run at Clichy as he has had a bit of joy cutting inside onto his left foot. I'd hate for some kneejerk reactions after the game today as you can tell the difference in class, but Newcastle haven't done too bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
