Stifler Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 How are so many people just blaming the ref for our loss? The team and Pardew have to take the blame for this one. Second half subs showed the workings of a mad man. Those subs... incredible. John Carver will do a better job from the current showing. Because as soon as we got passed the half way line they were given a free kick for nothing, as soon as they got passed the half way line and lost the ball they were given a free kick.

Mag3.14 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 We got away with two good goals scored by Everton earlier in the season. As has been said earlier a dodgy refereeing display does not detract from an absolutely shocking performance by the players tonight. This was always on the cards in not strengthening a wafer thin squad in the summer. Fatty has gambled and I think he's lost as at this rate we are going down.

Cronky Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Eventually, we play to our strengths and play it long, and were unlucky not to get an equaliser. It might be ugly, but in the absence of our more skilful players we don't have much choice. We've got skill, flair and close-control in the squad. Really? In the midfield and attack, I'd say we have three players that I'd call skilful - Marveaux, Ben Arfa and Cabaye. Four if you count Sammy, who's a bit raw. The rest all struggle to keep and use the ball when deprived of time and space. In the absence of two of those players, the balance isn't right. Anita is excellent on the ball and Obertan is looking far better recently, even discounting him though, 4 forward thinking technically gifted midfielders is probably more than most. No. Anita is a decent all-round midfielder but he is not 'excellent' on the ball. He should be in the DM position instead of Tiote, or at RB. Obertan is playing with far more confidence but his close control is not good and he needs space to operate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Tiote is not shite and nor is Santon. I think there's a bit of mass hysteria going on here about those two right now. Williamson however.... The lack of a decent cb to partner Colo is def the problem along with us sitting back and conceding the initiative all the time. Plus some of Pardew's dodgy 'tactical' substitutions. Tell me of a game where Tiote has played well in this season? Santon isn't crap, we all know that but his performances over the last few games have been just as bad if not as worse than Simpsons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Lost for words, just gutted and devastated and fuck knows. Aye. And meanwhile those running the club simply don't appear as though they're giving a shit. Just sauntering on to the next game and the next piss poor show. When that's over, on to the next. There's no plan whatsoever atm, just apparent blind faith that we'll be ok. Seriously concerning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Also I don't want to spoil the anger fest in here but did we just lose hopelessly at home against QPR?, because you'd think so from the reactions here. At home against Everton, who in no way shape or form was anything more than decent today. We should be getting points here. But no, we were set up badly, and we played likewise. Anger fest is in it's place. Yeah at home against top 5th place Everton, and yes we should have gotten something because we put in the energy to close them down well and created quite a few clear cut chances, but yet again stupid mistakes cost us and of course that makes me angry But the way some people are posting you'd think we just lost 1:0 to QPR and created nothing. I'm angry, for many reasons. Pardews insane tactics and certain players fucking up yet again. But I don't get the "embarrassing" and "toothless" stuff, and mental rants about players never playing for us again, its nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Pardew has to take all the blame for this. Correct. I'm not blaming referees not for one minute when your seeing the points return and results turned out each week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Pardew has to take all the blame for this. I'd say vast majority as opposed to all. It's still an absolutely horrendous defensive error or two that has cost us the second goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
