Ronaldo Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Is there a worst Center half than Williamson in the Premiership? I can't think of one. I'd rather Shola played at CB at least he'd win a header. Anton Ferdinand might give him a run for his money Dean Ashton pulling a shopping trolley would give him a run for his money.

Nobody Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 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. I realise people are pissed off, but lets not get silly. Stoke spent the entire second half launching the ball aimlessly into the area at every single opportunity, even from throws. Ermmm... Did I say we didn't hit any aimless balls?, we did, just less than Stoke. Even their throws were all launched into the area. That's how Stoke play though, it's what they are good at. It's why everyone hates playing against them, as long as you're just one goal ahead it doesn't matter how well you play or how well you contain them, they are always just a launch away from an equaliser.

Dave Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Did we play a bit better than the last few games or am I just desperately looking for a postive? yes we did despite what a load of kneejerkers on here will tell you. Pretty much everyone has acknowledged that. Still lost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I'll ring the Premier League and ask if we can have the points because we played a bit better then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 deserved at least a point thought we were pretty comfortable for 80 mins then the one player you think you can rely on, Colo goes walkabout and we lose 2 goals. Dragged out into no mans land instead on being in position in line with the post and no idea where he was for the 2nd when Jerome just ran off him to get onto Jones's knockdown. (i might change my opinion after watching MOTD as only seen it on a stream that wasn't brillant) Gutted at the minute as really thought we would hold on to an unlikely win although in saying that you can't miss one on ones and expect to win, i would expect strikers of Ba and Cisses quality to both score when running clear and into the box with only keeper to beat, especially as the defenders were never going to catch them.

We certainly didn't play good Football, but Stoke spent the entire second half launching the ball aimlessly into the area at every single opportunity, even from throws. Our shocking defending rewarded them for it though It was us who were hoofing the ball at every given oppertunity. to our luck, Cisse and Ba got 2 of our 3 good chances from a hoofball. I'ts just so frustrating to watch 90 min. of anti football and lose every week. When we lost to swansea, I wasn't as frustrated, because, at least we tried to play a passing game. That loss wasn't as hard to take, because the performance wasn't as shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phil K Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Must admit, I have preached patience, but I have none left and frankly fed up with the directionless crap we are producing. Remember - we have been losing to the bread and butter teams. NOT the quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Got to keep in mind that we were 10mins from everyone being pretty delighted with the result and us sitting in 11th right now. The performance was okay up to that point too. Doesn't change the fact that we're still losing games, but it's certainly a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. Worrying thing is if any confidence we built up evaporated at the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 bet the oatcakers are loving this, i feel sick. going to bed. 5 minutes of stupidity cost us, we played better than v southampton/west ham...and imo didn't deserve nothing. urgh. worrying stuff.

Confidence evaporated when they equalised, they didn't have to work that hard for the goals or anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 For all the talk of formation, tactics, etc. there was a definite improvement from a few individuals tonight as well which will bode well hopefully. Namely Anita, Tiote & Cisse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we NEVER do well in December. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 To an extent, but Tiote looked a lot closer to his true form, Anita looked energetic, Cisse looked a threat and more up for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Was utterly predictable we would crumble as soon as they scored. Both Colo and Williamson should be ashamed of their defending for the goals, especially with people like Anita running their balls off for the team. Didn't matter how it came we needed to stop the rot tonight and get some points but now it may have done more harm than good. Players won't know what to think now if we can't even beat the one team that play worse football than us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MW Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 improvement from tiote? his passing was diabolical. cost us the win tbh, shocking ball to give the ball away for their first. did it time and time again. almost a quality ping for sammy at the end Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Even if the performance was in the right direction, it was against Stoke. There still needs to be a huge leap forward in performance to get anything from any of the better teams. We don't have the squad available or the Manager to acheive it at present. The January window is our only real hope or change of manager of course. Just hope we're not cut loose by then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
