Guest ToonZA Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 ToonZA absolutely spot on. Interesting that Cabaye has better English than Simpson on Twatter. Much better at footie too!

Sifu Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Urgh, what a horrible evening this turned out to be football-wise. Thought we were decent in the first half, definitely controlled the game imo. Though it was clear when half-time came that we lacked a certain urgency upfront. Shola was completely isolated and he also didn't anticipate things quick enough (passes into the box, etc.). Best had a decent first half (should have scored that chance he had) but trailed off in the second half. Ben Arfa also had a poor game considering his obvious talent. For Brighton's goal, I'm going to put that down as a Simpson mistake. He let the Brighton player go past him so easily which meant we were exposed on the right - it gave Buckley so much space to run into and like so many times last season, the goal came from a deflection from one of our players. Argh. (One thing you could say though is that Simpson was afraid of being sent off [he was on a yellow card] so that's why he bottled from making a challenge). Cabaye was lucky not to be sent off (though I guess this isn't the last we heard about it) and it should have been a penalty to us (yes, I realise that Cabaye was the one who took the shot.........). Overall, Brighton weren't that good and that was the most annoying thing imo. Our lack of bite upfront cost us today (and at Fulham last week really). Thank f*** that Ba (and Cissé of course) will be in a position to start for us soon. Their presence should improve us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewJerseyMag Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Far too conservative a performance. I think Pardew s*** a brick last weekend and so decided to basically play for a 0-0. Best should have scored however, particularly with a free header where he didn't even leave the ground. What this game shows is that we have a decent first team when everyone is fit/available, but little in the way of a squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 if brighton did the 'underdog performance' and won, then fair enough. but it was as if they said "we don't really care, just beat us" and we went "well we care even less" and they reluctantly scored one. brighton were terrible and we didn't get out of first gear. we didn't even get into first gear - the car hadn't been started! any effort or will to win and we'd have destroyed them.

Interpolic Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Really pissed off we're out, not least because I'm really big on the cups. We need to win a trophy one day after all. However I responded to my dad's despondent text as follows and I meant it: Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise this year. If we can push on for 5th or 6th this year without any distractions, particularly with the African lads back soon, then fantastic. There's reasons to be cheerful.

Stottie Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I only saw the ITV highlights but they weren't as bad as I expected having read some of the ratings on here. Things didn't go for us in the Blackburn league cup game either. Both are disappointing considering what the team has shown in the league and that a number of potential winners were already out at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Still can't believe we're out. Haven't seen anything so far but by some posts I've read we probably should have won and Pardew got it wrong. Mourinho calling... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
