Oakie Doke Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Oh well. A point's not bad given the circumstances. If this was FM I'd certainly just go ahead and press continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 If we had a ref today we would have won, as it is, meh let them have their point, they will celebrate it like they hammered us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Atkinson cost us all three. The FA really need a system where referees are punished for ineptitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 It was ugly as fuck that. I know we went down to ten men, but fucking hell, keep at it - give it a go. We just sat back and completely let Sunderland overtake us. Recipe for disaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Feel the same way I did after Pardew's first derby... would have taken the point before hand but gutted the way we did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbers Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Fucking Colo was just like a huge fucking boot roaming around the pitch denying them everything, pure class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 We seem to be playing far too deep. Massive gap between the midfield and attack and very little movement. Game's finished man. I'm talking about the way we've played this season, not just this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 FUCK FUCK FUCK!! Irritated my to no end that Pardew subbed Ben Arfa instead of Cabaye at that point. Cabaye was done, nothing left. Anita in for him would have increased our chances more as Ben Arfa seemed to be fine. Pardew should have instructed the team to press higher. Fuck me, talk about making things harder for ourselves. Tiote should not have been off. We would have won had not the ref been against us, or if Pardew somehow found his balls that he obviously left back home this morning. FUCK!

Mole_Toonfan Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 This is very bittersweet, but it's a decent result. No it isn't, unless you want bottom half that is. We have been f*cking crap all season, Pardew needs to sort it out ffs We played an hour there with ten men man. Get a grip. I'm talking about the whole situation, 10 points from 8 games simply is not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Disappointed but not too disappointed. They had every decision and still looked shite, and were lucky to grab a point at home with their dream manager. We should have stomped this, though. You can't legislate for referees like that though. Even with Atkinson, we still had some determination over our destiny and thought we sat back too early. Felt we didn't strike the right balance between defending our lead and causing them problems. I think Spurs got that balance wrong against Chelsea for example going hell for leather, but we were too far the other way. Difficult to look at anything in this game other than in isolation (as it's a derby), but: - Happy to have Colo back, fucking class - Simpson was pretty solid - Demba Ba did really well by himself. Surprised we didn't sub Cisse on as he began to tire. - Jonas on the wing Doesn't utilise any of his remaining strengths Move on. Edit: Agree with Wullie about judicial review for professionally incompetent ref standards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Jonas is shot, offers nothing any more at this level. If he's one of our "purples" it's a bit worrying. We need to sort our flanks out and where our attacks are going to come from. I know we were down to 10 for most of the game so it's unfair to judge on this game alone, but I'm judging over the season so far and we've been pretty dreadful for long spells.

aussiemag Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Positives: Ba, Santon, Coloccini, Krul and HBA all performed admirably. Tiote needs to get his act together. He's getting paid a truck load of money, be professional. Negatives: Referee, Jonas, Simpson backing off macshit all the time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AfroP Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 We seem to be playing far too deep. Massive gap between the midfield and attack and very little movement. aye i noticed that second half as well we were clearing the ball up field with nobody there to take it not a bad game but not a good one either. Tiote's sending off was shite and really made it a tougher game for us, pardew wants to have a word i think Colo defo man of the match for me when he came off I started getting worried. jonas was rubbish as well today. Demba worked his socks off, and its a real shame we had nobody else far enough up the pitch to support him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
