Stifler Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 A shocking first 20 minutes from us, shocking. Whats worse though is Howard Webb. He gave a free kick to Man Utd which directly lead to the corner for their 2nd goal, that free kick shouldn't have been given, there was no foul. He booked Tiote for no apparent reason, no reasons apart from him being our only midfielder who can put in a tackle. Van Persie should have been sent off by now, Ferdinhand went in from behind on Jonas, that should have been a red card as well, we should have had a penalty but it was never given. De Gea came out to collect a ball but didn't get to it, so he blew for a foul. Shocking from him, and it's only HT. Harper though, what a tool, thats been I' surprised it hasn't happened earlier in his career, he insists on doing it 10 times every single game he plays.

Guest Klizsch 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. Completely disagree. Same, if that was the case I think they would explode when they get the opportunity to counter. Last 10 they had no movement whatsoever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Although we've played better since going 2 down, there's a couple of things to consider: - Man U are 2-0 up, so can afford to sit back - We've created no worthwhile chances at all, De Gea hasn't had a single shot to save Very hard to argue that we should be back in this.

Beren 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. I mean after the switch to 4-3-3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 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? Because we played well using 4-4-2 against Bordeaux after switching to it.......totally agree with you though, it has to be 4-3-3 all the way with the players we have.

Mike 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. Exactly...Webb is looking right at it too the horrible cunt. I was going more for the lino but if the ref is following the flight of the ball (looking at the players its going to as you're taught as a ref) he should have seen it. If the linesman can see an arm around the back of their keeper, there's no reason he can't see Cisse's shirt stretching out like crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Gonna cost us here for an awful first 20mins when it was men against boys, both from the players and the management.

The goals were both headers off corners...gotta think Colo + Taylor shores up that aspect of the defense at least. Willo and Perch are dreadful through the air.

Interpolic Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Tiote was booked for dissent and it was blatantly warranted after a show of ludicrous petulance. I agree.
