Ted Maul Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 If there is a single positive, it would be that this result will hopefully lower some of the fans expectations a bit. The expectation to beat Villa at home? Aye it certainly has done that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 This team is useless at coming from behind to win a game. FFS how many games in a row now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Sorry, but the players really need to wake the fuck up for the week after next. Also think a change should have come much earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 We can't rely on HBA digging us out every wek. The other forwards have started the season as they have lead weights in their boots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Lucky to get a point. Bigi was our best player, Cisse the invisible man for the fourth game in a row. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Anita looks good and composed, Bigirimana (spelling, lol) also very decent. Poor shape, movement, lethargic. Very poor and plenty of work needed. Ah well the season's back proper now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shush Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Pardew will get his wish of Ba and Cisse playing poorly for Senegal... they are playing fucking turd for us so it won't be a surprise! - They will come good but it's so strange to see them both playing like they have never met. Both going for same balls and both fairly poor when on the ball. Our lack of ability from full back and winger to stick a decent cross in is killing us as well, regardless of how hard they work or what space they create. Pretty turd game to watch, glad a moment of Ben Arfa magic saved us from a defeat. Always got to pick up points at home but against a Villa side, you'd hope to get see your team get all three. Just feel with the players we have that we should have done better today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Early days but disappointing that we wasted the first 45 mins. villa wasted most of the second. should have been 18mins added imo. true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlelunchbox Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 ba and cisse are top players but they are the same, they make the same runs , take up same spaces, thats why im baffled why they both start all the time in a 4-4-2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 If Cabaye doesn't want to be here or can't be arsed to put the hours in on the treadmill, then he can piss off tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggs Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 If there is a single positive, it would be that this result will hopefully lower some of the fans expectations a bit. tbh we have high expectations due to last season pity the board or manager dont want to build on it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Actually a fantastic result considering how we played for the majority. Can't remember us ever being so utterly wasteful on set pieces and in crossing positions. Ridiculously bad. I hope that gives the players a massive kick up the arse, because we're nowhere near as good as we clearly think we are at present. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Thank fuck we got away with a point from that. We are fucking diabolical, man. That was absolutely atrocious stuff. Our luck with those sort of performances will run out pretty soon. We just seemed to be so overrun in midfield, Villa always had an extra man- it was like that against Spurs and Chelsea, too. Our passing (or lack of it) is painful, horrendous. I'm not knee-jerking here but it was the same against Spurs and it seriously hindered us last season. We have technically brilliant players in our team, plus two of the best strikers in the league- with the ball at their feet- yet we just persist in launching it aimlessly up to our front men and give possession away time after time after time. Not good. Ah well, early doors yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
