Lotus Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Anyway, so chuffed we're through but i couldn't see us scoring until the pen. Shola offers nothing and Cisse's not a winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 there was a little bit of the match when someone was down injured and all you could here was, i guess it was pardew "COLO...COLO...COLO...COLO...COLO...COLO....COLO...COLO...COLO...COLO....COLO" and i guess colo just thought "fack eem, eef I no go home I no leesen to eem" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Why pick Shola? To hold the ball up? No, he never does that as his second touch is usually an attempted tackle. To make intelligent runs? No, he always wears lead boots it seems. To dribble and skin defenders? Erm, no. To win lots of headers? I must miss most of them, if so. So why does Pardew pick him? There has to be a reason, but I can't see it. I have never had much time for Pardew and decisions like the reason for picking Shola just leaves me bewildered. Was baffled by the decision but Shola did everything that was asked of him tonight. One of the very few times bringing the inclusion of Shola as a negative doesn't make sense. What?? What threat did Shola offer? Won the ball pretty much every time it was played to him, had a good shot deflected that went for a corner, put Sissoko through and possibly Cisse (can't remember but sure he did for the outside of the boot chance), some very nice little flicks and touches, scored the penalty. If Cisse had put in the same performance we would have rightly had a collective tug. Shola just seems to start on -10 for some and has to work harder than anyone else to have his performance accepted as good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, just didn't think he threatened much. FWIW, thought Cisse's wing performance was also ineffective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but we blame lack of service for everyone else but when Shola is feeding off scraps he doesn't threaten enough? As said he has to do much more than the popular players to have his performances accepted. Don't remember him putting a foot wrong tonight and did as much as he could with every opportunity presented to him. Also forgot at the start of the game where he went past a player and put a ball across the box that was just waiting for someone to get on the end of.

sugoinufc Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 i want to like pardew. But i cannot accept the fact that he keeps playing cisse on the wing. as long as he does that i cannot take him seriously.... shola for 90 mintues....do get me started...again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugoinufc Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 btw, can someone give me just 1 fair reason for playing cisse on the wing? he could have played him next to shola....or better (if not on top) saved him tonight and kept him fresh for southampton. imo he is more or less our most important player for the rest of the season.

The College Dropout Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Wish we had a manager of SBR back. Really do. Cisse on the wing? Heavens above we won't get as far as we should with this cretin in charge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiftynotout Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Some of the comments on here tonight are unbelievable! When we lose it's because of Pardew and if we win it's in spite of Pardew - the same with Shola, anyone with any sense knows that Shola did exactly what he was told to do and put in a shift. as for going negative after scoring, do people not realise that they needed 2 goals and started to throw everything forward. If we hadn't dropped off, Pardew would be accused of being niaive - we nearly hit them on the break several times, but heh, don't let the facts get in the way of your anti Pardew and Shola inbred views.

Aye, classic counter attack stuff from us when they piled forward: pass the ball up to Shola who then holds it up. Hmmmm, must have missed that bit.

Hanshithispantz Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Cisse obviously isn't going to be at his best on the wing but it never resulted in us putting in a shite performance and/or losing so it doesn't really matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco and fiftynotout have mentioned this and I agree, they obviously needed to score 2 in a very short amount of time. It's absolutely no surprise they went all out and we were under pressure. It's lucky we have a keeper like Krul but we did what we needed to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiftynotout Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Well Slippery Sam, you should maybe open your eyes and see that it was often Sissoko who was furthest up the park with Shola dropping deep to counter the higher ball - or maybe we can't see other players losing the ball?
