Yorkie Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Three big points but fuck me. Our football philosophy at the moment is bloody atrocious. Norwich were fucking gash, we could've absolutely caned them. Instead we almost gifted them a draw. Hopefully that won't paper over any cracks because that second half wasn't good enough from manager or the players. Just don't understand why we're being instructed to sit back once we've got a decent result. It didn't work against Wolves, it didn't work against Arsenal, and it very nearly didn't work today. It's a complete bullshit gameplan. That said - first half showed promise and because of that we deserve the three points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Shocking performance. There was very little effort and we were playing with fear, for some reason. An awful, turgid match, it was almost identical to the match against QPR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 wow seems like ages since we got a 3 pointer pffff!!! Stinking game! off to open the windows now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Probably the worst win I've ever seen from us since errr...Blackburn away, but fuck it, we won. I have absolutely no idea why we can't continue to play football on the floor when it's quite obviously so much more effective than this turgid percentages bullshit.

AlanSkÃrare Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Great to get the three points, but we could have had the better of them playing wise. Cowardly coached by Pardew again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 It was frustrating that we seemed to stop pretty much immediately after the goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucifer Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 We made extremely hard work of it and Norwich really could have got a draw here. A hardworking performance none the less but we need to learn to kill off teams. Norwich are a good team who play good football and I hope they stay up. Cabaye again didn't do well enough I thought. Perch was decent as the grafter. defence on the whole very solid but just can't keep possession in the middle. MOTM? none struck out. Maybe the whole defence except Williamson who just seems scared of possession. Overall happy as fuck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tachikoma Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Probably the worst win I've ever seen from us since errr...Blackburn away, but fuck it, we won. I have absolutely no idea why we can't continue to play football on the floor when it's quite obviously so much more effective than this turgid percentages bullshit. Williamson and Simpson. Sure, Santon can't hold his position, but Simpson doesn't do much when he holds his does he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Nice 1st half, team went to pieces 2nd half for no reason Mainly two reasons, our stamina all spent on first half, and Norwich gave great pressure to our defenders and force them to clear the ball. This was the opposite to what we did - we pressed them unbelievably hard for the first half and forced them to hoof the ball. We didn't use hoof ball tactics. Our players tried very hard not to hoof the ball unless there was no option available. This should be credited. Well I know no one here would understand this.

High Five o Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Happy for 3 points. But my god we play shit, its unbelievable.... Pardew need to get this team playing football ffs. Williamson, what the fuck have happened with him, so so so shit. Perch was easily the MOM today, happy someone showed up today. The football we play at the moment is worrying, we are one of the worst teams in the PL to play football tbh, can not hold the ball in the team. Can not control matches. Don`t know who to blame, Pardew or that we don`t have players that are as good as it sounds.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 No doubt Pards will hide behind the win and 'work rate' and better result than previous 3. No chance will he highlight how shit we are. Krul has to stop hoofing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Glad for the 3 points but seriously something is wrong with this team. To play so well until we score and then just play half arsed is disgraceful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
