Guest vainsharpdad Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Ben Arfa was excellent, but I feel that for him to start it's going to be the end of Santon. *At* left back. Danny Simpson and Ryan Taylor will continue to get games, so it's just the end of him in general until the end of the season. You're probably right - but I'd put him in for Simpson.

littlelunchbox Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 You could argue about Pardew's selection today, of course. But even after trying to forget the terrible first half - I'd say we would have lost without the red card. They would have been better on the counter and could have defended better. They were very solid in defence, hard to break down. Can't say it's not a fair result today. Would have loved to get that last minute winner, though, of course. completely agree, but we did start well in the second half when they had 11 men, but there's noway we would have sustained that pressure without the redcard. pardew is a clown Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Think some are going overboard a bit with this. The single most important thing in this fixture for me is to avoid defeat, almost no matter how that is acheived. Winning is just a fantastic bonus. We were fucking woeful for nearly all the first half, but second half we pretty much battered them (including before the red card) and got a deserved point. By the skin of our teeth perhaps, but we still got it. In the bigger picture the style of play etc needs to be sorted out ASAP and is a worry. But you can separate this almost entirely from Sunderland at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp40 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 they reduced it to a brawl in the first half. we made it a football game in the second half Hold on. I thought we reduced it to a brawl first half? They were actually playing football. nah- cattermole came out to kick and get our players upset- set the tempo for the first half.

SiLvOR Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Awful first half. Battered them in the second. Nearlly died when Ba missed the pelanty, I was actually screaming for Shola to take it Hoping to God Pardew sorts out this negative approach and gives Ben Arfa a permanent spot in the team from now on.

Pata Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Pardew got the substitutions wrong again, should have taken off Simpson, switched Santon onto the right. Well it obvious O'Neill is a better manager, got his tactics right even though they were down to ten men. Were you even watching the same game? Santon did bugger all. The two wide players on each side, HBA/Simpson and Taylor/Jonas, all linked up really well and were the source of just about every one of our chances from there on. The subs were perfect. You can't have Simpson and linking well at the same sentence. It was all HBA and Simpson had no part in it. I was shocked when Santon was taken off, Simpson was booked and Santon did well first half. Should've been Raylor or Simpson coming off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Can see the subs argument. Shola for Cisse was spot on. Bringing on Ben Arfa was also spot on, but should have been for Simpson imo, he was on a yellow and is more of a liability than Santon, think Pardew is insane on that one, Santons forward play ironically would have been great after the sending off.. That said Raylor actually combined well up the left flank I was reasonably impressed. I think after the sending off we could have sent Obertan on to really open them up, but its probably good we resisted as the Mackems only intentions were to sit 10 players in their own box and hope they catch a break. Pace wasn't essential. Still think he would have been a better bet than Lovenkrands. Simpson should just not be in the team period. 4/5 on subs given the impact of Ben Arfa and Shola. Just a shame the starting hierarchy rule prevented Shola from taking the penalty, think we definately would have won it had that gone in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
