Hanshithispantz Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 You just know it will be Marv off for Cabaye, even though it should be Jonas. Jonas was better than Marv there. Seriously? Marv never put a foot wrong all half. Jonas still looks lumbered on the wing to me anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Birtles saying "you're a center-half, play like one. Why are you trying to pass it?" This is the generation that taught the current players how to play. Not even mad at Willo anymore. Truth is, Willo isn't nearly as bad a defender as some of us think. Just remember Boumsong and Bramble man. Both of whom are better than him. No chance Boumsong was a better player for us than Williamson has been, that's bollocks.

Big Geordie Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Game is there for the winning, if Pardew shows some balls. Both sides look poor and lack confidence. Who's going to blink first and go for the win?: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Happy with that so far in all honesty. When you consider our recent form we haven't really looked in trouble. Just need to be a bit more incisive with our final ball as Cisse's movement is dragging them all over the place. Would like to see some of our midfielders running beyond him, but agree generally. Think it shows at the moment how low we are on confidence. Get Cabaye on at some point but play him further up the pitch like Marveaux is. Would also like to see Obertan on the left as their right-back hasn't looked great so far and Obertan's looked better on the left recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 If this was FM the text would be what a drab match so far. Surely the second half can only get better? The computer would have exploded by now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garth Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Get Cabaye on at HT for Perch. Why? Perch has been one of our better players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember Boumsong and Bramble man. Both of whom are better than him. I'll take Willo's consistent hoofing over either of them air kicking a clearance in the box, any day. Aye because the rest of Willo's game is so polished. He's an accident waiting to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Can't work out whether I like or hate Birtles, he's a miserable fuck, but it's kinda refreshing to have a commentator say it as he sees it rather than not trying to offend anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Fear of attacking, fear of passing. Fucking dreadful first half, one of the worst I have ever seen. We panic in basic decisions. Ball is in the air just head it, Don't think about where it is going to go, job done. I literally give up screaming at the tv.. Hoof, random header just to divert the ball five yards further away from our net. Just bloody bring the ball down and pass it to someone. Good god do we ever need Saylor to get fit quick and keep Colo. Williamson is utter utter utter dog shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Solid enough, we can't afford to let it slip. Frustrating to not have more creativity to break them down obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miercoles Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 The one bright side: I'm liking the look of Debs so far, and Santon has been quite good as usual (I'm almost ready to play him at wing forward). It's starting to look possible that we might have a strong back-four in the near future now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv is capable of pulling out something that Jonas couldn't do in a million years which is why I'd leave Marv on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Anyone getting the hump with our positioning in the centre of the park, Norwich keep picking it up in front of our two centre halfs. With three in there one of them has to sit, we've been caught three times with both Perch and Anita pushed too far forward. I'm doing my nut watching it.

Cronky Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Fairly even. Usual problems, but we look capable of scoring. Just need that bit of luck. We don't really have a counter-attacking game. The build up is very slow and deliberate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv is looking a bit lightweight/struggling to make an impact on the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 One thing people should we remember - we certainly played our fair share of drab halves last season. Both Bolton games immediately come to mind. Unfortunately, the man that saved both of those games is injured. We got results, but we certainly weren't Barcelona last year.

alexf Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Looked very open through the middle. They have had quite a few breaks where our midfield has just disappeared. Cabaye on at somepoint if possible but not too many complaints given the circumstances we're in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
