Kanj Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 RVP in a classic showing of absolute fucking douchery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Basically gave them the run of the park until they went 2 up. It could have been 6-0 at that point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Bloody awful first twenty minutes. Much better since but we need an early second half goal. Unfortunately I can see them getting at least one more. I hope the club fine Tiote for that utterly ridiculous booking. His aggressive play collects enough yellows without shite like that. If he picks up another yellow and misses the derby he wants to be shot with shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Evra was all over Cisse there. The refereeing is a joke. Hard to spot that tbh The refereeing comment was a general one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Our team arrived 20 minutes late and they had already scored two by the time we got here. Ugh. Sort of sums it up. Early goal and we can get a draw, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Pardew and HIS 442. It's fucking incredible really. The world starts ending in front of his eyes and he switches to 433 to limit the damage. 433 keeps saving him. Yet he won't start with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedsBlackAndWhite Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Why can't we start a game on the front foot for once ffs. Got better as the half went on but ffs you can't give these fuckers a 2 goal start before you start playing. 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. 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.

Dr Venkman Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 We'd lost this before the first whistle was blown, stood 40 yards off them and let them play their way into it, no urgency. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I'd take the loss if it means that we learn what our most effective formation is. But it won't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Some sort of game btw where you'd wish your Joey Barton and Kevin Nolan and probably even an Alan Smith (bench!) in the dressing room at HT. Once again, Pardew needs to find the right words here, as almost alway this season so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
