Skeletor Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I hope Pardew noted their set pieces. Maybe we can use one in future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 That's a penalty, clear as day, why doesn't the linesman see that ? Aye, he can see Ben Arfa holding De Gay back but not a long hold of a shirt. Total bollocks it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest henrique Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 decent half, except the two cornergoals. We must now have learned that we are much better in 4-3-3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 If we lined up correctly to start the game Man U would be struggling big time. We're a match for anyone in this current setup. We just don't have the personnel for a 4-4-2. It's just that simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Shit half. Lucky to be down 2. Someone show Pardew that episode of Seinfeld where George did the opposite of his instincts. Don't know the reference but just thinking about how ace it would be if you were in the NUFC dressing room at HT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

heero Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 well we start every game like s...., then we start playing, same again today and before we know it we are 2_0 down time to stop f.ck.. around, and play for the start. We could get back into this one, I hope Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Howard Webb is a fucking twat, absolutely detest the bloke. His teammates are being brutal, the twats. We've been much better since the 2nd goal, but its unforgiveable to concede goals like that. Abysmal start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hopefully this will be the last we'll see of the utterly ludicrous 4-4-2 we've been employing. How could Pardew watch us on Thursday then go back to that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnypd Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 it's easy to ask why we didn't play the same in the opening 15 or 20 mins, but Man Utd were already 2-0 by that point - they're able to sit back and conserve their energy. that's probably the biggest reason why we've looked better - they're no longer in first gear.

KaKa Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 After the ridiculously poor start, quite pleased with that. Difficult to know what conclusions to draw from that first half though - has our style/formation given us dominance over them because it's genuinely good - or are they quite happy to sit on the 2-goal lead atm? Man U happy to sit back at 2-0 in the first half? Did you see what they were doing to us at the start? If we stayed in that 4-4-2 it would have been at least 4-0 to them by now.

Interpolic Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Oh well, nice pickup in play but game is over. Never gonna get 2 past these. I don't see any reason why not. I'm not saying we definitely will of course, but they have looked nothing special beyond those first 15 minutes and massively suspect at the back. It should be 1-2 at the least already, if we come out all guns blazing 2nd half with the crowd radged up to fuck then we can do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Still a whole half to go yet, if we come charging out the blocks like we should have done in the first place, we can claw this back. De Gea is shocking, put some decent balls in and we'll get goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakka Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 The lads may have well been playing in their pajamas still for first 20 minutes. Much better after that but with Jonas probably coming the closest to scoring. Hopefully Pardew has some wise words at half time to spark a come back.

Shayno Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Really missing our Cb pairing. Played well last 20-25 minutes after we switched to 4-3-3 and put Jonas in the middle. Really needed a goal, Demba probably had the best chance from the corner. Still in this but we need a goal early Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Too bad we had to go down by two goals before Pardew changed the system - but at least the change in system really helped to bring us into the match. We definitely needed a goal there near the end of the first half because we were the better team after the first fifteen minutes or so. There were definitely some positives there but it's always going to be up hill when you're down by 2 goals. Also, Howard Webb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
