Numbers Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Think we will play better 2nd half, didn't really get out of 1st gear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Simpson's looked good so far. We need to see more of the ball though, there's still a long way to go for them to ome back if they're seeing that much of the ball. Fortunately, they haven't been doing too much with it.

taxfree Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Underwhelming performance, but great to be two goals up. Unleash Barfa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I wish we'd just try to dominate rather than being so damn conservative. We've shown we've got better players who are much more efficient in front of goal, why not try and score some more? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Description of the goals anyone?  How we doing generally n all? Gracias.  First goal came from Cabaye pressure on Christophe Berra - Berra gave it away, Cabaye crossed it to Cisse, ball cleared, then put back in the box and Cisse deflected the ball (which has been touched by a Wolves defender) into the top left corner over a Wolves player standing at the post. Second goal was a Jonas rocket. Cross cleared poorly by a Wolves player, ball falls to Jonas, he takes a touch then blasts a laserbeam into the upper left corner, rising all the way. Overall, we've looked pretty poor. Don't seem all that interested in doing anything except letting Wolves play in front of us, then hoofing it long and letting our very mobile and impressive strikers try to make something happen. Very comfortable though.

Â Simpson infuriates me, man We worked really hard to keep possession by our left corner flag in a congested area of the pitch, we eventually -with great skill - manouevre out to the open right, and he plays it long and we lose possession Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 We've been a "second half team" most of this season at home to be fair. Pards' magic rub down in the changing rooms gets us in the mood for the second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I don't like how infrequently Krul just throws it out to Santon or Colo- we always do this reorganise/get ready to pump it long thing and we always lose it. We haven't got the personel.

The amount of times he loses possession by lumping it down the line in blind hope gets right on my tits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Two goals fell into our lap in the first 20 minutes, and Wolves offer almost no threat. We're playing conservatively because of those things, we can sit back and let them play in front of us with ease. I hope Pards injects some more positivity at half time, but I'm not surprised how we played in the first half and I'm not going to criticise them for it. It's exactly what you would expect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've shown we've got better players who are much more efficient in front of goal, why not try and score some more? Â Always happens when Pardew has had his fingers burnt being expansive. Needs to learn when to be (ie against shite) and when not to be (ie at whl) but not too worry. Â Much like the Championship this season we have found the useful knack of being able to win whilst not being terribly good and just a shade less shit than the oppo.

Beren Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Obvious reasons aside, really hope we can keep a clean sheet. Need to build up the confidence of our back four which must be pretty terrible at this point. Need this kind of game where they're put under scrutiny and come out without having conceded, by hell or high water. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammys_Tekkers Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Santon is starting to look the part imo. Needs to sort his crossing out though, rarely gets them off the ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look forward to him being replaced in the summer. A big weak link. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
