ATB Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Hmmm watching us play is starting to give me a feeling of a old school Italy or German team. Very solid defensively and will attack when they think its time to come out of the shell. Well these teams did win or perform quite well over time maybe its time for me to accept we are a defensive 1st team. Not like Pardew is going anywhere soon. I think it´s a different between defending in a good way and in a poor way. They performed in a good way, we in a bad. Because when we finally are getting the ball we just hoof. The ball is coming back faster than we can hit it. TRY AND FUCKING KEEP THE BALL. And regarding our "so called offensive play" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Think we were forced to play negatively when Ba came off with no one to hold the ball up. Maybe Shola was the person to bring on, but would have been redundant in our counter attacks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliassenfredrik Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Too easy blaming Pardew for everything. He's not responsible for passing success is he? And decision making when carrying the ball? And finishing? And the ability to get something, anything at all from a set piece (see corners). Their goal was a rare one. Bad defending though, and an even worse pass from Jonas feeding them the opportunity in the first place. Punished for our mistakes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 They have suarez and sterling and then the rest are distinctly average imo. I felt we defended brilliantly for the most part and for all their bluster they lacked that killer instinct. Really ccould have done with alll three points mind, however unrealistic/hopeful.

littlelunchbox Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 We are worse to watch than anything served up by Roeder and Big Sam because we have very good players throughout. Liverpool... Suarez is a very good player but if I'm a manager I'd man mark him because he is quite predictable. He is very selfish, one-footed and his whole game-plan is to run at his man, get into the box and dive/get tripped or get a shot away. What do we do? Nowt, we just let him roam and do as he pleases. As for Sterling... he's no better at this stage than N'Zogbia was for us when he first broke through and I suspect the Liverpool man will become a similar type of winger, all pace and directness but not a lot else. worse to watch than under rodent and fat sam? we might be one dimensional, but at least we are organised at the back, something we never had even as far back under Sir Bobby.

Kimbo Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I'd like to see him start making a bigger deal out of things like the Sterling kick at Simpson, the media seem reluctant to highlight it, just like when Larsson did a De Jong on Ameobi.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 He is responsible for tactics, game plan and our football philosophy which is when we take the lead we try and protect that lead. When you have a side full of attacking flair that's a negative and backward philosophy. LET THEM PLAY should be the philosophy. When we went into the break one-nill up our philsophy should have been all about that second goal and getting at Liverpool. We did the opposite. Sadly I called it such is our predictability. We even deploy such tactics at home. Ironcally he picked a very good side and deployed the players in a good formation but our tactics despite such players and the formation were all-too familiar and trademark Pardew, cautious, percentages type footy and all-too damn predictable, so predictable a no-nowt like me called it at half-time as to how the second-half and game would pan out.

Guest BooBoo Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 The performances under Allardyce man. Felt a bit sorry for Roeder as he took the gig as he was cheap in the dying days of the Shepherd era, we were pretty sterile for his full season and a far duller and pedestrian side than we are today. There's justified criticism and then there's (no doubt drink fuelled) OTT nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sensible, we'd have no chance of appealing. Yes there's little contact but once the foot is that high and studs are showing then you've no chance of an overturn. No point risking an additional ban. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dontooner Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Aye , the frustrated brothers and sisters, lets just accept we are a defensive 1st team, Pardew going to here for a very long time. We are picking up points so no fear of relegation ,we just play a very defensive style that is not pleasing on the eyes. Just face it, things ain't going to change anytime soon. Our performances are awful in some games and yet we still pick up points so credit to Pardew for making us a team hard to beat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 He trys to pull out if though. Now for the next three PL games we're playing long ball with Cabaye sitting deep doing nothing and four four fucking two. I'm sick of this season so far it's been shit. Awful football, no signings that could improve side and negative tactics that pander to one players needs who's probably going to fuck off in January to a shit club that we couldn't even beat.
