Darth Crooks Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Can only assume it was deliberate not to commit too many midfielders forward. And we ended up with a draw, so it wasn't an awful idea. FWIW we didn't hoof the ball to Cisse that much at all. But sometimes the ball is at Mike Williamson's feet and the inevitable will happen. Completely disagree. Same, anita whacked it at him, cabaye did it too. Yup. Buckets of hoof today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I think it's a bit daft to expect football from this team at the moment. We need to survive first and foremost, then maybe next year we can look at coaching the side to play flowing football. Best to go with what we know for the moment, and that's sit deep and hope we get a break at the other end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolution Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 The fundamentals of attacking football are simply not there. Movement is the primary reason for our general lack of threat; it is either discouraged and one player is designated to have a slight freedom (e.g. Marveaux or Ben Arfa) or we simply do not practise it.

Guest Dontooner Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 The Players will probably play better uninstructed by Pardew. We have a group of attacking players, that need to protect the back four constantly. Just have a case of the mismatched set of players under the wrong manager. Pardew tactics is suited to more direct and powerful players And our players are more suited to passing and movement football, which breaks teams down through finding space. Still hopes the board sacks him and get someone in that focus on the attributes of our key players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one of them could actually make the runs we need we might look at little bit better. The 3 of them are far too similar, and all have the same weakness.

Legacy Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Is it really too much to ask when one of our players has the ball the others support him? I get that we want to be solid but if we play like that for the rest of the season.. We will get fuck all points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one of them could actually make the runs we need we might look at little bit better. The 3 of them are far too similar, and all have the same weakness. There is a difference between players that can keep the ball well and have a attacking intent to players that can dribble the ball and create space. Think Marveaux,Obertan, Santon and Ben Arfa are more similar players. ( They can do what they need without instructions since by instinct they can penetrate) However those that need more instructions and routines like Cabaye,Anita, Tiote will probably look quite average in our Team than in their National teams. We just got no tactics and setup going forward, our set pieces are proof. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not going to go from being utterly s**** to even average from one game to the next without replacing the manager so we need to be patient. Wonder where the optimism is coming from, personally i dont see any improvement on Pardew's Part. The lack of ideas going forward was always his weakness, the lack of cohesion in team play was his weakness...making the team hard to beat was his only merit (in terms of tactics). We are just reverting, would we play better and start climbing the table? Honestly i see no signs of that in the last 17 matches.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
