Stoke City 2 - 1 Newcastle United - 28/11/12 - post-match reaction from page 39


Recommended Posts

That was a game where the first team to score would win (like our last 2 home games). We got it and managed to throw the game away against a Stoke side that hadn't really threatened.

 

Carry on losing games like this and we will become bottom 3 very soon. You simply can't afford to keep losing this type if game. When you get your nose in front you must not lose.

We had one chance the whole match and we scored it. Good in the sense that we actually took our chance, but depressing that once again we created next to nothing against an absolutely woeful team- lets face it, Stoke are absolutely appalling.

 

Stoke completely overran us in midfield, despite us attempting to play 3 in there. Why? Because there was no pressing whatsoever, we just backed off and let them knock it long. We completely pussied out.

 

The first 30-35mins were actually OK. We created nothing but refrained from hoofing it and attempted to keep the ball, but yet again no penetration. After that we slow resorted to bad habits and wellied it up to Ba and Cisse to try and figure something out with it. Conceding was only a matter of time as we completely dropped off yet didn't seem to have much of a clue as to how to defend against them- Etherington and Jones destroying Simpson and Williamson.

 

Tonight Pardew had the choice to drop either Simpson or Williamson but bottled it. I know people say 'oh but we had to load the midfield', but why not play an attacking midfielder in there as well i.e Marveaux instead of three defensive bloody midfielders! Reduce the amount of liabilities in the starting team and life will be easier, but no he still cant realise.

 

We'll get absolutely bummed by Wigan on Monday. They're a semi-decent footballing team and the way we're set up anyone can beat us. Get Pardew out, ASAP. Absolutely disgraceful.

Also, It's a sad day in our history that the season after finishing 5th, we have to resort to as unspeakable a cunt and shit footballer as Nile fucking Ranger to get us out of losing to fucking Stoke.

 

It's disgusting, even discounting him being a horrific person.

So few chances. Our goal wasn't even a chance. However nice to see one of our strikers chasing loose balls.

 

Williamson is a liability.

 

No big positives.

Cisse and Ba were more or less through on goal, not totally clear but they were both most definitely chances.

We play worse football then Stoke at the moment! An absolute joke we are at the moment. Pardew has got to go. I can't think of a team who passes a ball worse then us, and there is no movement from any player. the tempo og our game is way to slow. Every goal kick, free kick and throw inn take a fucking age.

We all know Williamson doesn't cut it at this level for a prolonged period, but Colo has only really done himself justice in the Mackem game. Been found wanting at some stage in every other League game he has played.

Of course because of what he's done in the past, it will be brushed under the carpet.

Yip, we had chances to kill the game off and the keeper made a couple of saves. I thought we did okay. Substitutes were a bit strange as Sammy looked shit scared of getting involved at all. I would have took Ba off for Ranger not Cisse and at least we saw Ranger actually win a header from a long hoof at the end.

I didn't think we were that bad tbh. Had the better chances (Ba & Cisse second-half in particular). Wigan is the big one. Lose that one and we're desperate.
