SLK Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Definitely would be a great result if this was a one-off match, but, as I mentioned before, the 2nd leg will tell if this is as good a result as we think. You take each Match on it's own. I don't think any other manager in Pardew's place would have dome better. Actually if Ben Arfa wasnt his first game back in ages he would have nicked a win for us. Let's not let our Deslike of someone make us unfair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean that some other manager could have definitely got the team to play better and win the game against Anzhil ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Whatever you think about Pardew, the plan against Anzhi was the right one and it worked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliassenfredrik Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I have to say I was really impressed with our defensive play and set up against Anzhi. I wasn't expecting them to score every time they looked to build an attack, which felt strange and good. Especially impressed with MYM, Haidara and Perch.

Nothing's funny about the line I highlighted, I agree, he's the best manager in football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not let our Deslike of someone make us unfair. It's nothing to do with whether I like Pardew or not. We were brilliant defensively but we would have probably beaten those lot had it not been for yet another performance where we looked soft offensively. 0-0 is a decent result, I just think we could have maybe put ourselves in a better position, especially considering how average or poor Anji looked.

Ronaldo Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 It was a good result, we clearly have more idea how to keep cleans sheets in Europe than the league this season. Who know's what the reason for that is We're pretty decent a nullifying the opposition when we're behind the ball, tbh. It's only problematic when teams get in behind us, then we're the worst of the worst. The teams we've come up against so far haven't tested us in this way, fortunately.

Guest Dontooner Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Unfortunately, relying only on players only can get us playing at this standard, need some tactical input and movement to break open the game. Stoke 1st half have been there for the taking, we need to win this game , they don't come easier than this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 We look like what we are; a collection of very good players. We scrape by due to their individual ability but there's no cohesion, understanding or variety of tactics. We don't look like we train at all and this is the first time the players have seen each other all week. Those problems are the manager's job.

Pilko Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 One of those workmanlike wins today, a lot missing, but he got Haidara and Marveaux onto the pitch (and removed the garbage Tiote) at the right time and it impacted the game. He has to get credit for that as much as he gets criticism for the general limpness and lack of cutting edge today. Fair play for sticking with Cisse too, I for one would have removed him far earlier in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
