Fulham 5 - 2 Newcastle United - 21/01/12 - Post-disaster reaction from page 60


Recommended Posts

We practically play with 10 men with Shola in the team. His abject performances always eventually lead to the rest of the team ending up in a funk. The guy is so annoying.

 

We can just about get away with it if Tiote and Ba are about, but without these two we cannot carry Shola. What the hell do all these crazy managers continually see in this guy. It's not funny anymore.

The only good thing is in a couple of weeks Shola won't be getting anywhere near the squad with the Dembii plus Best and Barfa.

"You can explain everything," Jol said.

 

"The first half we knew that we had to be a threat in behind [Mike] Williamson and [Fabricio] Coloccini, but we never did that.

 

"We couldn't exploit our extra man in midfield and in the second half it was different because we decided to play a more direct style. That caused them more problems.

 

"It was 1-0 and we knew we had come back from that before. The score was not the problem, the style of play was more of a problem. We just didn't put enough energy into it.

 

"Of course with the runners from midfield and bringing on Andrew Johnson we got that [in the second period] and that is exactly what you saw.

 

"Having said that, we wanted to do that with Damien Duff, Clint and Bobby Zamora but we couldn't keep the ball.

 

"If we played it up to Bobby we couldn't get the runners in behind and with Andrew Johnson he solved that problem.

 

"I wanted to change things at half-time but of course we had (Steve) Sidwell going off [injured just before the break].

 

"That probably meant we didn't look balanced enough in midfield [so I brought on Chris Baird at half-time].

 

"The first half was sort of Brixton, the second half was a holiday in Jamaica. It was an unbelievable difference."

 

Here we go, Credit to Jol as he knew exactly what to do to attack us. See what Pardew said...Bemuse by collapse...i still have no confidence with Pardew with tactics...he just isnt that sharp in this area. His most efficient football that has gave him results is his flat 4-4-2 that mostly rely on the individual brilliance from his players.

We lost 1-5 in 45 mins... can't get any worse. Pardew out !

 

Nah we could have lost 8-1 and I'd still have respect for Pardew after he proved himself in severe adversity(all coming from us fans who thought he'd be a sh*t appointment) and he stired us to a very good season so far.

 

Hope ashley hasn't read this he sacks managers we have any respect for(big sam is an exception)

 

Also we're still 6th so cheer up lads

Surreal game. You don't see many 'game of two halves' as blatant as that. First half we were excellent, created a few chances, scored a great goal, some lovely interplay, the formation was working very nicely and the fact we got the goal made me think there was no way we weren't going to win. When Shola ran half the length of the pitch and almost scored my old man just burst out laughing, couldn't believe what he'd seen.

 

Second half we were abject, it was incredible, complete collapse. We didn't react to their change and got killed. I think the players went into their shells as we went 2-1 down despite having dominated the vast majority of the game to that point and they didn't come back out, it was pretty terrible. Surreal. The defence went to pieces and both Cabaye and Guthrie were awful having both played well in the first half, particularly the latter.

 

One thing I noticed re: Krul's kicking is that Colo seems to be the only one who ever offers for it short. Really that should be the full backs' job - they should be dropping to about the edge of the area and hugging the touchline - this will either give options or drag the strikers out of their preferred positions and decongest the middle.
