Unbelievable Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Surprisingly I'm not really bothered with the loss. I thought we did ok, fought hard, weren't outclassed and were a bit unlucky at the end. Not taking the 3 points vs Wolves and Sunlun I find much more annoying that losing to Arsenal away from home in the last minute of extra time.

Razor Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Atrocious throw in to lose the ball, too many bodies high up, chose not to attack with a decent oppurtunity - basic failings, deserved to fuck it up, I don't understand how people paid 40,000 pounds a week to do solely this can be so unutterably stupid in such basic circumstances.

LFEE Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Fair result but just rewatched goal and Simpson managed to take 4 of our players out of the game with that last throw in... Disappointing end with a point so close... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceMag Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Don't be fucking daft, this wasn't Simpsons fault. He cleared the ball off the line twice in the second half and was pretty decent all around. It was obvious from the very first second in the 2nd that Pardew was trying to defend the point and had no interest in at least trying to play some decent football. We fucking hoofed it all 2nd half and deserved fuck all from this. Fucking furious right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 simpson had cramps , lets not be too harsh on him he cleared about atleast twice from the goal mouth, we went out for the second half looking to hold onto one point and got nothing, though hba had a very mature game, worked hard, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt really see any tactical decision to sit back on it. We were just wank in possession tbh. Not everything is Pardews fault, he set us up well today.

Taylor Swift Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I'm fucking pissed off that we didn't hold on but there can't be any doubt that they deserved to win that on the basis of their domination. They didn't create much but we really didn't give it a go at all in the second half. That's the most disappointing thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to Pardew he went 4-4-2 when we had our backs against the wall after 60 mins. Not sure what else he can do in that position. Like I've said before he can't force Cabaye to put his foot on the ball and pass it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 The team was set-up well and organised but that was all negated by offering absolutely nothing in an attacking sense in the second half and hoofing it. The one time we passed it out from the back(due to RVP trying to piss Krul off) we managed a good passing move and got the ball in their box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spark Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Bit strange how we don't bother attacking for most of the second half then decide to commit half our team forward in the 4th minute of injury time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossman Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Again we were shite, but to get so far and for Simpson to give them the ball and be on the floor when he should be getting back is shocking. Hope van persie breaks a leg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 This wasn't Simpsons fault man, he's the scapegoat tonight it seems. Kept Oxlade-Chamberlain quiet and saved us with a goal line clearance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Simpson cleared one off the line 5 mins before, doesn't deserve this stick. Off the line as the far post defender on a set play. He stood where he should have stood. It wasn't as if he broke his back and took one in the bollocks to clear it off the line. He basically didn't do a Dyer.
