Guest BooBoo Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 The scrappy untidy gold that Nolan gets are invaluable. Whilst he's a slow pedestrian midfielder, I still prefer good old fashioned goals myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 It was one of those days today, just would not happen for us.. maybe we were trying to many million dollar balls, over playing it at times. Stone wall pen not given when Taylor was cleaned out, thought we had te ball over the line too will wait for MOTD for those. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Thought Diame was class today. We should have been in for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Thought Diame was class today. We should have been in for him. He was excellent - Cabaye and Anita were totally bossed by him. Has Pardew said anything post match yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJM Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 If Cabaye was given the role that Nolan has he'd match him for goals. Always has his best games when he's allowed to play further up the field. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyeyzzon Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Thought Diame was class today. We should have been in for him. Shades of Yaya Toure with his powerful surging runs which hammered us at times. Wish Tiote could do more of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiote never does that tbh, gets the ball stops and passes is where his offensive game begins and ends. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Still can't understand why we weren't in for Diame on a free transfer, seems to me like he would compliment Tiote and Cabaye excellently in the middle and he fits all of our usual criteria for a move. He is erratic and somewhat inconsistent, but he's a fucking good player. A powerful runner from the centre of midfield is a huge asset in the modern game - we don't have one.

newsted Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I've got a disproportionate disdain towards Birtles. haven't read the thread but it will be proportionate. He was over-rated 30-odd years ago and it hasn't got any better. A whiney knobhead who thinks he could have done better but didn't. See almost every fucking "expert" we suffer. Fucking Dean Sturridge ffs. Right, I'll crack on with the thread now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Yet Diame couldn't get a game at Wigan. Why? Because his passing wasn't good enough for them. We had a French and Dutch international up against him, Noble and Nolan dropping deep and they simply outnumbered us, as we have been in nearly every game.

Guest bimpy474 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 "At home we want to get the fans in the stadium in a good place but we didn't start well," Pardew told Sky Sports. "And then we've conceded when we should have squeezed the pitch in that situation. Then we've got a battle on our hands. "West Ham with the way they play, it's very stop-start. There are a lot of set-plays going into your box and it's fragmented. "They had a little bit more power on the pitch. But we still created loads of chances. One looks close to being over the line. We needed a break but we didn't get that today. "We have had nine efforts on goal today and that's enough for two goals really but the shots were just lacking in quality and the final pass was lacking imagination.

Minhosa Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Agree Diame had a great game. I'd certainly not want Nolan back. He's an absolute passenger for most games and, whilst obviously his goals are massive, he just doesn't influence enough games for me. That said, we're still not using Cabaye properly to compare which makes Nolan look the better of the two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Nine efforts on goal, but how many of them were genuine chances that we've fashioned? The attempts on goal I remember were all either from distance or from set-plays, and none of them bar the Ba one (came out of nothing) really troubled them. That header from Ba and the tame effort from Williamson were the only two I recall from inside of their box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
