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...
Theregulars Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Perch MOTM for me. Otherwise an awful game, but win's a win. 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...
wormy Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 :(I would love to talk to Pards for just half an hour about his footballing philosophy. Three points though, fair enough. Fuck that. I'd want to kill him. 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...
Guest firetotheworks Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Personally I thought Guthrie was our MOTM. He was dictating the football when we actually decided to play it on the ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I only saw the second half and we weren't entirely terrible, particularly towards the end. Ended up with 60% possession too, so we must've been fucking amazing first half if the second looks so bad in comparison Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero 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. Ffs little effort!? Can't you realize how hard we press them at 1st half? Rematch the match you fucking idiot.

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I am starting to think that all the doom mongers were right, Pardew isnt the reason we are 6th we are 6th despite of him Performances seem to get worse everyweek Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 It all felt very tedious. The players looked lethargic for the most part and while I value the win, the performance left a lot to be desired. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Those first 15 minutes we hassled and harried them non-stop, we were reaching the ball as they attempted to pass it around their back 4. We got the goal, and not long after that seemed to take a step back and give them as much time as they wanted. Just didn't understand it. The complete opposite of what they did, as they pressed us harder and harder and gave our players barely 2 seconds to breathe. Yet our players seemed the most fucking knackered, too.

toontownman Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Great result ground out by us, but completely unnecessary. Another game where we only turned up for one half. Pretty much did the usual and took the foot off the pedal after we went 1-0. The fucking foot was draped out the car window far from the pedal in the second half. Have to cut out this habit of sloppy passes we have found ourselves in. Still dont know how we had gaping holes through the middle when we had three playing there, and we were pretty much raped down the flanks at the same time in that second half. Our midfield was disappointing again. Lots of plus points though, Perch, Cisse's movement, Jonas playing very well. Midfield is worrying though. We showed what happens when we give our front two chances, please can we learn from that and do it more often. Stopping doing it after we are in front is not good enough. Think the players let Pardew down in that second half. Pretty happy with Pardews subs and tactics today. We need to find a greater attacking need and killer instinct.

Tachikoma 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. Yeah, agree with that mostly, but I think part of the reason we ran out of steam so quickly was that everyone seemed to be confused by the system we were playing.

David28 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Ugly win. Seriously, I know we should play better and I know that some of Pardew's tactics are a bit strange but, come the end of the season, will anyone ask how we got into Europe? No, we have to get 5th/6th and that's with wins and not with great performances. Next game please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 There's a lot of talk of 'good first half, shit second half'. Does no one else think we went down the drain after 15 minutes? We got a couple of very good chances after the goal, but there was no sustained good football and I felt Norwich had already taken control of the game.

I'm happy having to watch it just once, I will take the win. Your right of course. Effort was way less in the second half but we were committed but disorganized, lacking any killer instinct and the sloppiest of joes in possesion. Midfield might just have been in the directors box they seemed invisible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoU Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I don't know why people seem so shocked by the performance. I thought we did quite well and could have easily won by a few more goals. Norwich never really put us under pressure and they are a good team, that we are competing with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
