Ashley17 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Didn't realise there was actually a man wide of Shola, that's why he was following back in. He just had no clue about the line. Doesn't really explain why no doubt closed Gera down, at all. Well I've no idea why the 1990s Californian alternative rock band were even on the pitch tbh. How embarassing.

CaliMag Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Ironically I though Steve CLark had also lost his mind. Lukaku was their biggest threat and I would have said Graham Dorrans and Zoltan Gera did well also... so why take them off? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 right then, this has probably all been covered, I haven't looked but here goes....... poor team set up to start with, ameobi wide right ? if he's going to play it has to be at the point, they knew from the off there was a huge gap in behind him. first half was OK (i prefer ben arfa on the left) the second half was as bad as we've played since being relegated,sloppy, lazy anf then the subs, WTF, has anyone got a clue what pardew was trying to accomplish ? starting with shola wide right, keeping jonas on, shifting the entire team round for no reason.....he's playing favourites! perch MotM for us. I wrote similar above, but I don't think he is playing favorites I think he is just messing around with formations and has a vision that isn't working. Also I thought the formation we ended with should have been the one we started with. if he's not playing faves why was ameobi wide right and why did jonas drop to full back ? Jonas did well at LB and I thought him working with Gabby was one of the few bright spots of the last 15 minutes of the game. Why was Shola on the RW? Good question, I am willing to accept that Pardew had some plan it just didn't work. jonas didn't do well at LB, he looked like he always does when tried there, leaving gaps all over, more to the point, there was no reason whatsoever to put him there, especially not to move santon over.

littlelunchbox Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 My dad texted me saying the bloke behind him at the match was slagging Ben Arfa off all game, called him a total prick, which appears to be his new favourite word. he did have a very bad game, he kept hogging the ball, something he's been doing a lot lately, and i dont mean dribbling with it. I mean he just stops on the spot with the ball ,looks around sees that there are teammates to pass to, and does nothing then gets swarmed by WBA players. Happened many times today.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 We've papered over the cracks for one more week. My eyes are not lying to me. We may have good footballers, but we rarely play anything resembling good football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 That second half was the worst ive seen us play since the relegation season. Utter utter dross. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Just had a chance to review this now. Lucky doesn't even cover it, WBA should have beaten us at a canter. We couldn't string 3 passes together in the second half and never looked like scoring. Their passing was more accurate and crisper, their crossing more dangerous and their defending more aggressive and acute. In all honesty, I think the scoreline prevented the boos. We need to sort it out and quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Definitely. We were 60 seconds from being bewed off, the atmosphere was quite nasty in the last ten minutes. Understandable after such a sloppy performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Pardew: "We've had 5 good halves this season...eh, this week" Probably closer with the Freudian slip. Everton 2nd half Sunderland 1st half Are the only games where we can say we've played well! The rest, if judging on last season, has been average at best and awful at worst Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest, if judging on last season, has been average at best and awful at worst I think we played well against Bordeaux and put in a decent performance at Man Utd in the cup. The first team however has only managed one good half which was indeed at Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 We were fine in the first half. Got caught on the break a few times but there we deserved to go in ahead at HT. We started so slowly in the second half though and by the time we woke up they'd equalised and were in the ascendancy. Second half was the worst I've seen us play this season. I'm not sure if it was a case of trying a bit too hard, but some of our passing was absolute dogshit. They gave us no time on the ball and we panicked.

Benwell Lad Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Better team lost and in fact a single point may have been more than we deserved. West Brom are a very good side which their results so far prove and we struggled against their pressing,passing and movement in the second half. Really enjoyed the fortuitous victory, it's not like we haven't been on the wrong end of last minute goals or flukey deflections in the past. Great credit to Timmy Krul for the winning goal, his desire to get the ball straight out to Santon, at a time when some may have just hung on to it for a while, was really positive and ultimately rewarded.
