Cronky Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 On a positive note, our heads never went down and I'm glad the crowd recognised that at the end. Perch and Shola did well when they came on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 If you're going to start with HBA behind Ba then you've got to set up accordingly behind him. Our midfield was again dominated today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 people keep having a go at raylor, but simpson didnt exactly cover himself in glory. both fullbacks were bad today. despite the lost, i didnt think we played that badly considering how many players were missing.

KaKa Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Our posession would be so much better with decent fullbacks, and it would mean Ben Arfa being put in better positions to have an impact. In response to Ben Arfa not having a position. Raylor and Simpson are two hugely depressing parts of the team right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Unlucky lads. Pardew needs to take a long hard look at himself though.. Why? Don't see what he did wrong. Ryan Taylor. Obviously has his reasons. Santon isn't a defensive fullback anyway. Neither is Raylor ffs. Also, despite them actually not being too bad, I'm disappointed he considers Lovenkrands and Ameobi good enough to change a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Some of the comments on here. We've just played the 3 best teams in the league, two of them away from home, got defeated unluckily in 2 of them and got a lucky draw in the other. It's not like we've lost 3 in row against the likes of QPR, Swansea and Norwich. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 wonder if those idiots who weren't concerned we didnt buy a centre-half this summer still hold that absurd opinion.... Will be fucking infuriating if that's our undoing. It's taken longer than expected to become an issue, but if Colo and Taylor are each struggling for Norwich and beyond then we're in trouble. Williamson is still at least two weeks away as well. Simpson and Perch as a centre-back partnership in the Premiership as about as bad as it gets. Didn't think it was a "horrible" game mind, thought there were a load of instances where we were a bit of composure away from fashioning a clear chance - Ba and Obertan the worst culprits here. I was pleasantly surprised with Lovenkrands in particular and Krul was absolutely outstanding. Not too disheartened, just worried about the injuries.

His ball control, composure strength and confidence are bollocks. You're right like. I'm not saying he can't be good, he has potential. But he's been consistently poor if we're being frank. I think maybe 2 good crosses and a couple of games worth of pressure has been his contribution thus far this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 That's a red card at the start there every time. Love to hear the explanation. Though we did alright till tiredness set in considering we were missing Collo, Guti and Tiote - arguably our three best players. A Red card and one of the woodwork chances going in and it's a different game. Krul MOM for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Krul - 9. Sensational. Simpson - 5. Dreadful delivery and ropey in defence. Taylor - 8. Did very well. Perch - 6. Was okay but he's never a centre-back. Far too slight. Raylor - 4. Rubbish. Absolutely found out. Obertan - 5. Absolute horseshit man. Wish we'd chucked a few more quid at replacing Barton and signed N'Zogbia instead. Cabaye - 7. Thought he was decent. Hassled well in the centre. Needs to get forward more/have Tiote behind him. Guthrie - 7. As above really. I thought the centre-mids were our best players. Lovenkrands - 6. Did alright going forward but invisible defensively and we paid for that. Ba - 6. Lively in the first, subdued in the second. Should have done better with a couple of chances. HBA - 6. In and out. (Shola - 7. Thought he was good.)

Ikon Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Ben Arfa was quiet, just wish he had played instead of Obertan on the RW, Can't believe how much he wasted Obertan, unbelievable, Ben Arfa would have got alot of time on the flank and would have been dangerous for us, juest keep Widén like Obertan and he would of got the ball alot.

LucaAltieri Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Incredibly unlucky. Colo's injury cost us the game. Chelsea were nowt special, Mata was the only one to give us any real trouble. Sturridge started bright but did bugger all from around 20mins in until the 90th minute (when he scored against a 3-man defence). The first goal was poor marking from Perch, and the second, again, a missed Perch challenge let Chelsea through. Had Colo not taken a knock we'd have contained them quite comfortably. We had the ball cleared off the line and hit the woodwork thrice. On another day we'd have got something from that. It was a little frustrating that when we finally brought on Sammy, a player who can get in behind the defence, we still continued to lump it forward or build up slowly. We should have been releasing him quickly on the break, stretching Chelsea, and giving Ba and Ameobi space in the middle. Instead our front two were marked out of the game quite easily. What a game from Krul, mind. Oh, and obviously a straight red, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Our shape looked a lot better when HBA came off. It looked like his team-mates had no idea when or where he was going to release the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 feel grim after that. luck has completely turned against us. To be missing Tiote, Colo, Saylor, Marveux though injury is proving a nightmare. Never want to see Obertan pull on our shirt again. obertan had a shocker today, cole had him in his pocket all day long. he also gave the ball away many times, but what you dont see is, when obertan plays. he stops the opposition's fullback pushing up because they all frightened of his pace. cole could not attack at all today. but having said that obertan were poor with the ball all day.
