Beren Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Have more sympathy for the line-up in an away fixture than in the previous two games. Don't think it's correct mind you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnypd Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 we should still have enough to win this - bolton look laughably bad this season and blackburn dominated them in the 2nd half of their last match. both those sides failed to do the basics which puts them a level below the likes of wolves, sunderland and even wigan. no excuses for not getting a result here.

Guest Craig-NUFC Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Haway man. Best is going to do a better job up against Cahill and Knight than Ben Arfa. It is annoying that HBA isn't getting games, but I find today more understandable from a tactical viewpoint than the last few weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Best was so poor against W.B.A, worse than Obertan for me, just dont get why he's in team today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather see us play it quickly across the deck against them than Williamson being instructed to hoof to Best and hope for Ba to collect the knock downs.

gbandit Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Rarely understand this argument of blah blah is better against blah blah type of opposition. Yes, it works if the players have a similar level of ability but different playing style. You're talking about players who have completely different levels of ability Craig.

Optimistic Nut Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 To be fair, it's more or less the same team (Williamson for Taylor apart) that won well at Wolves & Stoke. would much sooner HBA in though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair enough, it's just a bit frustrating that Pardew appears to be happy to stick with the same thing and just hope it starts working again. Easier to accept an attempt at a change and it not coming off than simply trying again with what's not been working recently and it still not working. We'll see.

It is annoying that HBA isn't getting games, but I find today more understandable from a tactical viewpoint than the last few weeks. think the idea was more to have Vuckic playing off Ba tbh. i'm sure Best will do okay, but his last game was crap and he's not looked a goal threat or particularly creative for 7 or so matches. it also seems his presence stops us from playing it on the ground, which is more pardew's fault. from the game i saw bolton's centre halves seemed to struggle most with Hoilett, so not sure it's accurate to say playing a more targetman style forward is a better option. if anything that would be playing into their hands a bit, im sure knight and cahill would prefer fighting for aerial passes than trying to stick with dangerous, skilful runners from deep.

Ikon Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Vuckic looked far more threatening than Best and Oberluckyluke, wouldn't drop him for these two, same with Ben Arfa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. and deservedly so, some positive thinking post the city/man u/chelsea was what we needed, not conservatism. We lose this and the finger points directly at Pardew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 You guys are hilarious. Pardew "bottles it" and "fucking joke from Pardew". Seriously, not a great deal wrong with that line up like. The same one pretty much that saw us unbeaten in 11 games. I would also like to see Ben Arfa in place of Best preferably but it's hardly a "fucking joke" that he hasn't started him. Obertan has done nothing to deserve a starting line-up place this season.
