Hanshithispantz Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm now 100% certain this is Alan Pardew's substitution/tactic process. He's actually on the phone to a bloke sitting in an aquariam somewhere, coaxing manatees to randomly select 2 players for substitution, and the formation we will then squeeze awkwardly into.

Tiresias Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 even though he's shown some inexperience this season, especially defensively, i'd honestly like nigel adkins as a long term appointment. southampton have played some of the best football in the league this season. would be a gamble considering our perilous position, but so too would be sticking with Pardew. Can't organise a defence though, hasn't convinced at this level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Didn't think tonight was too bad - we were always likely to lose to Everton with the form they're in and the players we have missing but still managed to create more chances, and with a bit better luck and finishing could have been a draw at least. Things will improve with players returning and coming in - defence for the next league match is likely to be Debuchy - Taylor - Colo - Santon - best back 4 we've been able to put out in years. More chances? Everton created far more than what we did. From the BBC: 58% possession Shots: 14-7 Shots on: 11-6 How many of those "shots on" where f***ing soft balls that Howard could just pick up? the Shots/Shots on Taget stats is foolish to use. What about possession? Or is any stat that doesn't support an established view pointless?? Anyway, not picking on your post in particular mate, whole place is a little overly negative for my liking tonight (understandably enough in fairness) - I'm off to bed!

More chances? Everton created far more than what we did. From the BBC: 58% possession Shots: 14-7 Shots on: 11-6 Oh statistics. We did create a little more than we usually do, but we were never, ever as incisive as Everton were. Everytime Fellaini, Baines and Pienaar came forward together everyone was collectively shitting their pants. Hardly surprising since they are Everton's three most potent attacking players. So if Pardew spends 4 days out of 5 coaching defence, and played Cisse wide right because of carefully laid plans pre Ba's departure, what does that say about his tactical nous? I haven't even got to his scatter gun approach to substitutions yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, not picking on your post in particular mate, whole place is a little overly negative for my liking tonight (understandably enough in fairness) - I'm off to bed! You can have 99% possession but if you can't do anything with the ball it doesn't help at all. We created at most three clear-cut chances. I would rather watch Newcastle have 20% possession and do something with it then having tons and getting almost nothing for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 We were horrible tonight. Attacking play was completley gone. Marveaux the only constructive player. Shola is fucking shit but we've known that for 13 years now. Alarming that Cissé was played on the wing again. He can fuck off big time with his selections.

Can't organise a defence though, hasn't convinced at this level Don't entirely disagree, but we have better individuals defensively than they do. Clyne's the pick and he's fresh from the championship and far better going forward than he is at the back, similar can be applied to Shaw. Fox, Hooiveld, Davis, Fonte, Gazzaniga etc are a level down even from Williamson and Simpson. And while Schneiderlin looks good he's basically their only defensive minded midfielder whereas we have Tiote, Anita, Bigirimana, Jonas and even Cabaye with more solidity. Anyway probs not the ideal appointment for the current position but he looks very promising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
