Ryan Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 This season. Just utter Can't wait until it's over. Same. Whereas I never wanted last season to end. Only thing that will make this season memorable is a trip to Amsterdam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dontooner Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 The realty check will come when we get dump out of the europa and struggle to safety in the last few games oF the season. ATM i am quite worried about picking up points, even in the derby. Having the players train by themselves might yield us better results.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 What? How many times did he play Shola through the middle with Cisse on the right? Once v Reading. Well they did Swap around that game. really didn't seem that difficult a question. Everton too. Because Cisse didn't know how to play in the centre Bordeaux at home too. Obertan out left. Worked surprisingly well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked surprisingly well. Hence it was never tried again. What this season shows is how poor our creativity and team play is when Hatem isn't on the pitch. Think he papered over a lot of our shortcomings last season when he started playing. Sissoko and Goofy have started losing a bit of interest already - the team talks must be dire.

colinmk Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I think Cisse banging in wonder goal after wonder goal papered over the cracks a lot last season too. The signs have always been there though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Did Ba score any wonder goals first half of the season? He was scoring well but amazing goals? I'm not so sure. We've definitely missed him since he was sold though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I agree on the Ba points but Cisse i'm not so sure.... end of last season even though Cisse was scoring we were creating multiple chances every game. Mainly due to the ridiculous form of Cabaye and Hatem mind but still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Every game I watch of other teams they at least seem to retain some level of possession and a decent level of movement. I really don't understand how with the players we have we can't do the same and at least pressure opposition, it just has to be Pardew being negative in tactics and worrying over the other team. I hope to fuck he gets a win next weekend. If we scrape through to the summer Ashley should really think about sacking him or demand answers to why the football on display is so god damn awful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Did Ba score any wonder goals first half of the season? He was scoring well but amazing goals? I'm not so sure. We've definitely missed him since he was sold though. He did last season, and in the first half of this season and last he was scoring far more then he should have done compared to chances created.

Parky Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 It's pretty well documented he does very little or no attack coaching. I still don't really understand that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 It's pretty well documented he does very little or no attack coaching. I still don't really understand that. It's pretty clear they do very little defensive coaching as well - we are dreadful and keep making silly mistakes. Very rarely work as a unit, in fact I can't see one thing we do particularly well apart from rolling over for other teams. We don't seem to have a very high tempo about us, can't retain the ball, are pretty shit at hoof ball, can't take corners, free kicks or throw ins, are not very organised and can't create chances for our striker. It's been that way all season. Even last 5 or 6 seasons I can't think of any time where you would look and feel confident about us winning a game comfortably or playing good football for more than 1 game at a time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLK Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I agree with people who say Pardew is not very good tactically and we the shit hit the fan he forgets all about passing and ball distribution and reverts back to his brute force method of long balls using it as a counter attacking method. He may have to go at some stage but it will be a big mistake to do it right now as it's a bit too late and difficult to get the right manager who will be happy to take over at late stage. I know it's not completely his fault for every lose we suffer and injuries aside some of our players didn't start playing football until January including Cabaye who we now know we had a shit start to this season after the EUROs. I think Pardew struggles when his best players especially his get out of jail players like Ben Arfa are not available for almost the entire season but just because he finished 5th last season and named manager of the year I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Until next Christmas where his performance should be assessed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Was talking to a few friends who went to City and to say they were pissed off was an understatement especially at our approach to the game. Don't win the Fulham game and the mackem match will be his biggest game as our manager for many reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't win the Fulham game and the mackem match will be his biggest game as our manager for many reasons. A sizeable part of the reason I want him gone is how bad I've felt coming back from away games. £49 for an adult ticket at Man City + travel etc and he plays for a low scoring defeat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 We could quite easily finish the season with 1 single away victory (although QPR away has potential if they are already down when we play them). That is truly unforgivable for me with the individuals we have available to Pardew. It's just a perfect example of his negative approach to games no matter who the opposition.
