Dr Venkman Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I am absolutely FUCKING SICK of seeing our players standing still when Ben Arfa has the ball. Fucking move you sackless cunts! Exploit the space, give the man some fucking options! Same thing happens to a lesser extent with Marveaux. Been going on for far too long now, add it to the list of clear problems Pardew has failed to address. Keegan used to practice 5-aside football just to get movement and one touch passing instilled in the team. It was old fashioned, but still light years ahead of what Pardew does IMO. i said this exact thing yesterday about 20 mins into the game...if pardew can do nothing else he needs to have them playing 5-a-side for a couple of hours every day so they can learn to pass to each other, how to make space for a pass when it's tight...football basics really Our play on the edge of the opponents box when it's tight is absolutely appalling.

Watching Benfica pass the ball at high tempo in and around our penalty area was very illuminating for me. I don't actually think they are that good individually but they are definitely coached well.

Would probably insist on a one touch five aside game and no balls above head height. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 He was crap today. Took so much time and slowed the game so much when we needed the exact opposite and didn't pass the ball quickly to available players (did you see how long Marveaux was waving for the ball !!!). One of his worst games. Aye, tried too much on his own when pass and move was needed. Looks overweight anarl. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Never mind watching Benfica - look at City's second yesterday - 4 or 5 players in the box attacking a ball from open play. We can only dream of that level of attacking support. For all we know our crossing might be world class, but with nobody in the box its wasted!

biggs Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 We have imho very good technical players who are not being coached to play together and express themselves and thats the frustrating thing . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 We don't move the ball quick enough either. When we can't find a pass someone plays a hopeless ball, often our best players too. Confidence is a factor too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them don't compliment eachother ideally IMO, obviously it's the job of the manager to make a team that's more than the sum of its parts.

Confidence is a factor too. not helped by making ourselves easy to defend against by none of the team bar cisse being a natural at making runs into the box, even late runs.

Guest bimpy474 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Our most creative player, start him and get 60 mins out of him if we can. Better that than expect miracles from him, coming on two down with 30 mins to go, which is what i suspect will happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hatem garrincha Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I don't know if that's a Giggs : Alan Pardew says he can’t afford to lose Ben Arfa to another recurrence of his hamstring injury. Alan Pardew: “I still need to protect his hamstring – I can’t afford to lose him in the run-in. “If we can get him into a position where he is fatigued, there’s more chance of him injuring his hamstring again.’ “I will use Hatem the maximum again without him getting into a fatigued area. Basically, I’m going to have to shepherd him back the best I can. “(I don’t know) whether he can do a full game against Liverpool, if selected, or West Ham, (but) every week there will be more chance of that. ”We need him for next year. “That’s probably more important than anything else, that we get a good pre-season out of him and he’s raring to go at that kick-off in August.” It seem he has little chances to start a game this season.

Scotty66 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Will be raring to go in August but most likely pull his hamstring in September Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 It's definitely not right that we play him imo. I think he's still got that injury and Pardew just hopes and prays that he can last the odd 10 minutes here and there to provide that 'magic'.
