toontownman Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Anyone thinking ameobi is coming off is crazy. We are pretty uninspiring without Ben Arfa. Our build up play is so simple. It's fine but we rarely do anything special in the final third (Benny excluded). We could do with buying a replacement for Nolan now. Need someone that will get goals and create problems from the centre. Cabaye is more of a bridge between that and dm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbers Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 One question, how the fuck is Tamas still on the pitch? Heard Santon's shinpad crack in Lemington. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Fair play to Shola, he won the header that lead to the goal, but what the hell is Pardew playing at playing him in that position? Because Ba wont play it and has a sulk and obviously he doesn't fancy using Cisse there. Why when we have Obertan, Sammy, Marveaux and even Fergie (if you switched Barfa right) to play that position he chose Shola is one of lifes little mysteries.

henke Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Fair play to Shola, he won the header that lead to the goal, but what the hell is Pardew playing at playing him in that position? We could play Steven Taylor in that position, he'd win as many headers and is more mobile. It might sound retarded but lets face it, so is starting Shola.

Guest bimpy474 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Well apart from the flick on Shola has been awful. 4-3-3 is fine but you dont put a immobile clumsy oaf out wide. Pardew is just mental like. And the cross Ba should have scored from. Our best chances have come through Shola tbf True but they are not enough to justify the rest of the performance, giving it away, lack of movement, some ridiculous decisions, imo like.

Lenny Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 He's probably decided to play Shola because he was subbed off so early against Sunderland. Not how a team should be picked obviously, but reckon that's half the reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krul has been magnificent. Two one on one saves from Lukaku. We'd most likely be losing this game without him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Shola is obviously the weak point, doesn't have the pace, vision and passing ability of those around him. He got a good assist but him and Jonas stick out like a sore thumb today in terms of being able to keep the ball moving quickly. We've been canny, Ba's playing very well, glad we've not gone 4-4-2 as we have played a bit of football. I think Ben Arfa needs more support from the middle 3 when he's on the ball mind.

Cajun Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I hate Jonas not being one of those players I would desperately hope gets the ball, okay he was never directly effective in terms of goals/assists but now I just want him to move it on as soon as he gets the chance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 We just look miles better with a central three. I've always been a 4-4-2 man in the past but when everyone else is packing the middle of the pitch, you've got to have really amazing wide players to make that formation work.

Jayson Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 He's probably decided to play Shola because he was subbed off so early against Sunderland. Not how a team should be picked obviously, but reckon that's half the reason. Id say its more because the alternatives all played on Thu, but yeah it may partly be that. You would take in a players motivation to play though, Ba's form has shown how that can affect how a player does. Sholas come in & should have two assists. Hard to argue when we dont know how they'd deal with our alternatives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Noticed both our full backs are playing very high up when we attack, this i like when not caught on the break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
indi Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 That was pretty good, we're well on top and just at the point I was starting to think that it might be a frustrating afternoon we managed to get a goal. People are banging on about the long ball, but there's nothing wrong with the odd long ball if we're playing with pace and it's done early before the opposition have the chance to get organised and that's what we've done for the vast majority of the time. We've finally started playing with the pace we were last season and we look so much better for it. Now everything is crisp and sharp and we're mixing it up, some long balls, some short and more intricate passing and some dribbling, it's much much better than the early season, when we looked unfit and were therefore way off the pace. It's as simple as that for me, now we're fit we're playing well, whereas before we were unfit and played badly. We'll be alright from here on in, but how many points have we thrown away up to now due to lack of fitness? I can't understand why any coach would allow his players to start the season unfit, it's ridiculous. Anyway, let's get a couple more in the second and win this by the margin our dominance deserves.

The way he tried to win a free kick in the corner instead of doing something with the ball was pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 The glaring weakness's are : 1. Sholas inconsistancies 2. Danny Simpsons inability to successfully complete a pass or a meaningful cross 3. Jonas slow to distribute the ball and often misplacing his pass 4. Perch not being a deep lying playmaker.

buzza Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Aye, shola on the wing isn't very inspiring, mind he has won his share of the long punts. Yep, obertan or fergie on for me, both of them will track back a bt more aswell... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
