Elliottman Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 The only player guilty of long ball is constantly Williamson and Simpson. That is complete nonsense. Can't believe there are still people thinking that the only reason we go long so often is because of them two. Even after yesterday where we were out-passed by a team of limited Championship players. To be fair, the team we put out yesterday was barely championship standard. It was worth a lot more than Brighton's. Really? Take away Anita and santon and I can't think of a player we paid a million for? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggs Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Embarrassing comments yesterday that will work wonders for the youngsters confidence and inclusion at a later date ,imho last season looks like a one off and we are found out and Pardew hasnt got a clue tactically how to change things at any time during the season.The Europa competition is his only chance to save face and his neck if we have a good run in the knock out stage as i do believe we have enough quality to come back into the team to save us from the drop .

Dr Venkman Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 You need only notice how many times we resort to playing it back to the keeper to see that there's absolutely nothing happening in terms of playing our way up the pitch as a team. Coloccini does it all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 TBH Krul is the worst culprit for long balls. It's definitely Pardew's tactics though. Enough of our players have admitted that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Percentage football or as i like to call it, cowards long ball fucktard lazy football. It's gutless stuff and an easy way out for a clueless manager, such as ours funnily enough.

Okay, but of the two "championship" standard teams, they played football like a team that's well drilled in basic concepts and we didn't. Not to mention the point raised initially was that we played hoofball becuase of Simpson and Williamson, which is rubbish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly just wonder whether it's our bad training since Krul has always had terrible distribution. Frustrates me like nothing else when we're chasing a game and he catches a cross then holds onto the ball for 30 seconds so every one can get in position for the hoof.

To be fair, who gives a fuck what some moron decided Shola was 'valued at'? I think we all know his true value is £0, and without his goals against the mackems and in Europe he'd be on a negative value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 TBH Krul is the worst culprit for long balls. It's definitely Pardew's tactics though. Enough of our players have admitted that. I would like to see him roll it to the fullbacks more, that's just basic football imo. That's not particularly what I was getting at though. When the ball is played back to him more often than not he has to kick it long because he's under pressure and all our defenders are too. This comes about because we make very little effort to work our way up the pitch as a team by passing and moving. All too often the other team can press us without us being able to pass it around them and make them pay for it, and we just knock it back to Krul. It's this sort of stuff the 'it's Simpson and Wiiliamsons fault' crowd don't see. If we had an intention to pass our way up the pitch, we'd practice it, if we practiced it we'd be able to do it on a match day and when teams stepped onto us we could make them pay. We don't do any of this and other teams know it now. We need options just ahead of the ball, not one option 50 yards ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Well Krul should have 2 fullbacks he can roll/pass to now. No excuses really now for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Well Krul should have 2 fullbacks he can roll/pass to now. No excuses really now for him. He should have, but Pardew needs to tell them it's their responsibility to make themselves available every single time Krul's got it. He won't.

Pardew is hoping that Debuchy & co will sort all the passing and moving themselves so he doesn't have to coach it. Because he can't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
