Mole_Toonfan Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 He can't even get his own positioning right.... its not the running up the wing bit that pisses me off. Its the wandering into midfield leaving a gaping hole for no real reason.... you can see he started off as a midfielder tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 If you're talking about the first goal, Mole, then the midfield really needs to be asked what the hell they were doing. It was a completely preventable situation and you could also say Colo could have called it much better as well. Defences that communicate well don't operate like that.

Tbh i have calmed down a bit since then and i agree.... but still all he had to do was keep his position and not wander in field and its not a goal. It wasn't the only time it happened either.

Gallowgate Toon Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I don't remember other occasions but I had my head in my hands for most of the game He's obviously got a big bit of blame to take for the first but it was just a comedy of errors overall. For a team that works on defending, we were shambolic. I'm thinking that Pardew might have over-complicated things from the off, we just didn't seem at all solid, it was the complete opposite of last week.

Skirge Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Not sure what is going on with him, even when he is there in a defensive position he is usually very rash. Look at very early on when the ball was tight in the corner, he was rash going into the back of the player and was lucky to not give them a freekick. The lad was going nowhere there was no need to fly in. Most of their stuff came down his side, I think a lot of teams target him and see him as our main weakness.

ExiledGeordie Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Yeah I'd rather have my full back be able to defend first and foremost of which Debuchy isn't showing he can do particularly well at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Didn't hold his position for the 1st and 3rd goals. Wandered too far infield. Poor performance today. HBA at fault in my opinion after having now watched motd. Didn't track back for the first goal, got skinned for the 3rd after Debuchy had pressed his man and then Sissoko totally lost the goalscorer.

Give over. Hatem may not have helped with tracking back for the first goal but the least Debuchy should have done is maintain his position, not wander way into the centre where there is already cover leaving a huge gap where he is supposed to be.

Barnes23 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Pardew doesn't know how to construct a defensive unit so that people know where they're supposed to stand. That's been obvious for a while. He jumped on the coat tails of a well drilled back four that had mainly been playing together for years and tried to use it as evidence that he was a good coach, which he's not. He can't do it himself, there's absolutely no evidence for it. . Debuchy was poor yesterday, but we lost because of the setup of the whole team.

Mick Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I remember him looking shaky as f*** in a couple of games for France in the Euros tbf. He was shaky in one game when he was played right wing from what I can remember. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Simpson was a main reason for hoof ball, he could handle it, pick a pass, dribble past anyone or cross it. In possession, he was and is useless. He's defensively fine though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 We've now resorted to Simpson love I see...don't get me wrong, I would have kept Simpson on as backup (and I thought he was a decent enough defender) but think some people are going a bit over the top about Debuchy. Last season was a bit of a mare for all the players and that is not a decent judge of a new signing. I'm going to give Debuchy my full support like and he's still my first choice RB, his performance against Villa just shows that he is more than a capable defender.

Wullie Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Villa missed two sitters from players he should have been picking up like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 He does have his moments granted and his (surprising) lack of pace does hinder him but I still rate him more highly than Simpson. Still early to judge him properly, this season is a big one for him, he needs to consistently have performances like Villa week in, week out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 So far I've seen the same I saw from Simpson, absolute shite but for very different reasons all amounting to the fact that they aren't good enough to be premier league fullbacks.

I think Debuchy's good enough, but he needs to be more disciplined. A less confused manager could definitely help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
