Dave Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Well we got the result, more than I expected I must admit. Not here to gloat, good luck for the rest of the season. Ba is certainly some player, may get interest from the money bags clubs I would imagine. Your lot were brilliant, totally outplayed us. Impressive stuff tbh, cack as we were. Thanks for your generous words, I think our best players finally found some form the last couple of games, we have been misfiring before that, I know you had a lot of players out. Man City next, that'll be interesting. We were only two (admittedly key) players away from our first choice lineup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiemonster Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Well....that was a bit disappointing to say the least. In a nutshell. - Tiote, utter shit - playing like a player who is going elsewhere in Jan. - Collocinini - as above but far more worrying - Ba - playing like a striker on form and sure to attract admiring glances - Vukic - one to sell in the future - Ameobi - did he touch the ball? I don't think we deserved to lose really, but defensively we were shocking. Not sure if the Saton sub was a tactical thing, but it didn't work.

JH Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Krul needs to improve drastically on his kicking likr. Even Jonny Wilkinson would be a fucking improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 If Tiote is playing like a player leaving in January does that mean Perch and Coloccini are off too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiemonster Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Krul needs to improve drastically on his kicking likr. Even Jonny Wilkinson would be a f***ing improvement.

Dr Venkman Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I'm not sue what would be worse, the Santon substitution being forced due to injury or it being tactical and what that would imply is going on in Pardews brain. For the second game running he was the best winger we had on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

zolton Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 From West Brom.com what did jonas gutierez do? tried googling what you said but couldnt find anything? i think he may be referring to the reid incident. reid was in possession and went down injured inside our own half, and jonas was free to get the ball and run in behind but put the ball out of play instead. Hodgson came out his area to shake his hand according to the commentators on my stream. good sportsmanship. Sportsmanship at its best, Suarez and Liverpool could learn a thing or two.

Pilko Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Sportsmanship at its best, Suarez and Liverpool could learn a thing or two. So could that prick who rolled back onto the pitch to try and time-waste just before Ba scored. (this isn't me having a pop at WBA in general; you played rather well and deserved to win) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Obertan - Won a free kick but for some reason only moves in diagonals, like a bishop. This managed to raise a chuckle after a miserable night of football. Well played m'lord. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Felt like we were always chasing the game. No support from the midfield. Vuckic would sometimes wake up and drive it forward but the gap between forwards and midfield was huge. Best always seemed anonymous when Ba was in possession too. Incredibly disappointing game. Ben Arfa showed glimpses but ultimately he didn't have the ball enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 We've thrown away that incredible start with another poor performance. Pardew got us playing the high line, it clearly didnt work and yet he stuck with it. Defensively we were shambolic and despite having less of the ball, they looked much more likely to score. Obertan shouldn't exist - I'd rather have a mop on the right. Tiote was very poor today, hopefully Chelsea and Man U scouts were there to see that. Vuckic was alright tbh Coloccini was bested by Long again and again Ben Arfa lit the game up and I loved the 'Hatem Ben Arfa' chants before he came on Krul can't kick Absolutely livid.

Tiresias Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I don't mind the high line on it's own (though not against a team with pacey attackers) it's that and the hoofing. It's a bizarre combination, I think we should be pushing, but that also involves pressing and a passing game, not giving it away so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 again with the high line.....would you rather we had the defence 30yds away from the midfiled with the huge gap that provides ? or was it because the central midfield were pap positionally affording no cover/support for the defence at all ?

I think it changes the game, and 'possibly' means they don't get injured. After no win in 6, I'm inclined to analyze every big decision of the last few weeks.
