Mick Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 If nothing else, today we've shown that we can play the ball on the deck and play good football while getting a few goals, hopefully we'll play that way again. Our defence is awful but that shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Manu - in a pure footballing sense - deserve credit for not falling flat after we kept nicking in front. As deplorable as certain individuals were for them today (namely the manager), that game and result comes straight out of the Champions handbook. I'll be astonished if they don't win the league.

ScottishMagpie Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Don't mean to take the silver lining off this but because we've been utter s**** for all this season so far and we were expecting to get a right shafting today which didn't happen....bottom line is we've still come away with hee-haw.

Our defence is awful but that shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. Only conceded two more than we have. Should just abandon the defence and swap Williamson for Shola.

ponsaelius Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 There's absolutely no chance of an English CL winner this season like. I'd put Man U about 10th favourite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I really hope today is a bit of a watershed moment for Pardew and he realises that we can have a go at teams and score goals etc if we set up correctly. So many positives for us to take / the likes of Mick to ignore from today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 We'll win more than lose if we play like that rest of the season though we need to tighten up at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a fair point...seems strange he'd go to Old Trafford with a valid plan of attack when we went to St. Marys with the exact mirror image. Hope he can follow up with a similar performance at the Library. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we'd won (or even drawn tbh) there would be no question he'd pick up on that sort of thinking. I hope he does remember how good Man U are and realise that a performance like that would likely win us the game at a canter in about a dozen of the places we have to visit away from home this season.

Froggy Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 There's absolutely no chance of an English CL winner this season like. I'd put Man U about 10th favourite. Real will probably put about 7 past us over two legs. We're capable of doing the same to them mind. Barca will bum us eventually no matter how far we get.

Now that you mention it watching Barca shit all over your team every time you play them is quite a healer for every one who has had to suffer Man Utd over the years.

So many positives for us to take / the likes of Mick to ignore from today. I can see the positives and the negatives, we played well and were let down by our defence and I disagree with taking our best 2 forwards off, strangely Man u were ahead once and that was after Ba and Cisse had both gone off.

Always been a fan, loved Fawlty Towers especially Manuel. Remember watching an old European match as a kid...even though I had a black and white telly, I was totally transfixed by Barcelona's strip...suppose I'm lucky really I wasn't watching Crystal Palace.
