Dr Venkman Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I genuinely can't see how we've been 'clueless as an attacking force', since the end of January. A bit of improvement since the new lads came in? I'd say there has been yeah, they've added a bit more quality. Southampton really attacked us which is why it was a high scoring game. I'm just not seeing us looking like a team with an attacking plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 We didn't really set up to stop Stoke playing, they set up to stop us. I'd be amazed if anyone disagreed with this, like. We were very positive yesterday apart from the ludicrous inclusion of certain players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLK Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I agree, it wasn't that bad in isolation, we got 3 points. Our play this season has been that bad though, that's why we're 13th and needed loads of new players to get a few wins. How many of you didn't see this coming (struggling this season) when no investment in senior players were made last summer despite the qualification to EL. We've seen it with many teams with smallish squads after playing in Europe for the first time. Stability is very important and I think once we continue the upturn in form till summer we would hopefully go into next season with renewed confidence and if the owner does the right thing buy spending on a very good forward and a centre back then we should be good.

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I'd like a winger as well please. This. Replacing Colo, upgrading on Jonas and giving Cisse competition should be what we looking to achieve. Anything more is just showing off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dontooner Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 What are we trying? We look so disjointed Can't understand his game plan, He is not playing his hoofing game plan although we will probably see shola on if we go behind. What are we attempting ?? Freaking confused.

Beren Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Team selection was fine, but I still don't know what our tactics are (if we have any). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 he's attempting the 'i believe basically you get good players and throw them on hoping they know what to do naturally, all that coaching and drilling clever movement is unnecessary' strategy.

Wullie Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Bemuses me that the consensus seems to be that we no longer play a long ball game. Cabaye hadn't played a pass less than fifty yards when he went off. Clip it over the top. Lose possession. Men behind the ball. Rinse and repeat.

Guest Dontooner Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Why put out a team of ball players and play such rigid formation? Give them more freedom ffs. When it comes down to Tactics Pardew is probably rated the last 15 in the League. Serious liability in some games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
