Ameritoon Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Disappointed we didn't put one of our chances away, but they had some good opportunities too. Draw was always a good result, just hope these fringe players can be more consistent and fucking make a European game entertaining. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garth Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Think Pardew, will be happy with a point. All things considering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Just glad we're focusing on the league so we might be able to get a place in europe and be uncompetitive again next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Are we doing binary perfect or poor ratings? Sammy has been fine. Bright in places, even. Maybe Im just a bit tired. Also I have been cooking a cheese omlette so I might have missed the moments of brightness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Pretty good from what I saw. Bigi is fucking class, defence good, Gosling decent. Some of the forward players need a bit of work. Sammy needs a bit of a boot up the arse I think, whenever I see him he shows signs of good stuff but he doesn't do the simple things well and loses concentration all the time.

Skeletor Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 It really bugs me how our reserve players struggle so much with picking a pass in the box. Get it wrong every time (mostly Obertan). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Still think it'll be the fringe players away and a few more first teamers at home. No excuses for us not going out and taking a poor Norwich team apart on Sunday though now most of them have had a rest. We'll still make hard work of that though.

Kaizero Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Just glad we're focusing on the league so we might be able to get a place in europe and be uncompetitive again next year. A point away in the group stages is more than enough. If our fringe players can do that it's fully understandable that there's some shuffling amongst players. All teams do it. Really don't get that attitude unless we start doing it in the late knock-out stages and the likes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Three games, two goals (inc one direct free kick), three largely powder puff performances against feeble sides. If we are taking this competition seriously then Pardew has to play a few more of our better players. Some of our development players simply aren't good enough. Not sure whether its just because they're still too young or simply lacking the real ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 What an utter boring match. A draw, so OK I guess. Certainly left me very "meh" though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Not a bad performance but our final ball is consistently fucking shocking. It was exactly the same against the Greeks - our wingers all skin the full back again and again then pass it to the nearest centre half for him to boot away.

Tiresias Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Should have won it but oh well, not terrible, solid away performance by an inexperienced side. Eliot 7 - one moment of shakiness at the end Perch - 6 - solid but not really a rb Williamson - 6 shakey at start but was pretty solid later, wish he could pass Saylor - 7 - solid Santon - 8 - Looked very good to me Gosling - 6 - I'll be generous cos he nearly scored but otherwise didn't do anything Bigi - 8 - Always looking to tackle then pass it forwards to get an attack going, great Amalfitano - 5 - pretty meh tbh Obertan - 5 - standard frustrating fair, his build up can be great but end product awful Vuckic - 5 - some neat touchs but didn't do much Ameobi - 5 was decent at times and yet he should have buried one of his chances.

Mick Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The only positives have been Elliot and Bigirimana, Santon, Taylor and Perch were OK. The point is probably all we deserve because the game was poor and a draw probably a fair result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Happy enough with an away draw with that side and an ok performance as well which we could have easily won if we had a little more luck and obertan had a vague idea on where a teammate is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Elliott 8 - good saves x 2 Perch 6 - didn't offer much going forward Taylor 7 - did the basics well Williamson 6 - solid after his fuck up Santon 7 - decent Bigirimana 8.5 - very tidy on the ball and broke the game up well. Gosling 7 - did his job well, disciplined, let down by poor control a bit Obertan 5 - as per always Amalfitano 6 - didn't really do much but looked bright in spells Vuckic 5 - did fuck all Shola 7 - held it up well, probably could/should of scored Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
