Jordan Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Don't think Cisse plays as well when he has to think about what he's doing, seems a total instinct player. Horrible to see him shafted out wide because Ba's too stroppy to play out himself. Really wouldn't mind signing a winger and having Ba and Cisse fight for one position up top. Don't work as a partnership at all and don't think they ever will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 The Ba and Cisse competing thing on paper is a good idea actually. Even just to give them both a kick up the backside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I thought Villa played some nice stuff, the passing play before Ireland missed, or Bigi blocked it was some really nice football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I honestly thought they were rubbish and should have been beaten easily. We were our own worst enemies. They had some nice little passes in tight situations, but I still think that the way we played allowed them to get away with that and playing it long just played right into their hands.

TRC Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I still think we should have destroyed them, but they passed it quite well at times, and had us pinned back in the start of the second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Aye, start of the second half they upped it for about 10 minutes and we looked equally as terrible during that period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Why wasn't Haris on the bench? Thought he would have earned it in front of Amalfitano. And Gosling obviously but Pards loves him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Didn't we start a lot of matches last season really badly? I seem to remember thinking we were always better in the second half last season after crappy first halfs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 International break much needed. Confident we will turn it around at Goodison. Tiote's iron fist back in the middle of the park and Hatem taking up whatever role he likes for me. Very much liked Anita at RB, and anyway to have him, Tiote, Yo and Jonas on the pitch are crucial. I think Cisse just needs to hit one and well see him back on form. He was burying his half chances last season, and hopefully we will see that soon.

BlueStar Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 When was the last time we came from behind in the Premier League to win a game? Seems like forever. EDIT: October 2010 2-1 away at West Ham under Hughton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I think Cisse just needs to hit one and well see him back on form. He was burying his half chances last season, and hopefully we will see that soon. How many half chances has he had though? like 2 or 3. Cisse isn't the problem, creating chances for him is. That and it's quite obvious Ba and Cisse don't work as a 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko NUFC Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 But actually winning the league game after being behind at the half time, was I think in 2007-08 season when we beat Reading 3:2 at home after losing 1:2 at half time, with Emre grabbing the winner few mins before the end.

Guest BooBoo Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I borrow from a phrase used earlier but I think our first five games can be summarised by there being "something not quite right." Just doesn't seem to be the same vibe as last season, yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I borrow from a phrase used earlier but I think our first five games can be summarised by there being "something not quite right." Just doesn't seem to be the same vibe as last season, yet. Has a lot to do with Pardew trying to please our strikers by playing 4-4-2. I can actually see us going on a deep run if we switch to 4-3-3. Actually I believe we have the capability to fight out for a top 4 spot if no one gets injured and we do play with a midfield three and Ba - Cisse - Benny uptop like last season. Has Pardew already forgotten WBA away? We were fucking amazing then. Ba can still play left. He wont score and he wont like it, but just like at Swansea he and Cisse can swith it up a bit to help out defensively. It is obviously not the optimal, but we wont sell Ba and we wont get a new winger anyways so that the best we have. I also think Marveaux and Amalfitano would thrive in such a formation. Problem this season is definitely 4-4-2 and no Tiote in the team. I mean Cabaye and Anita reminds me of when Guthrie and Barton played couple seasons back in the midfield. One overrunning the other and no one covering each other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 A quick look and it seems to be beating West Hamaway 2-1 a couple of seasons ago Nolan and Carroll scored our goals. Carrols was a header from a Joey Barton cross. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
