Mole_Toonfan Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 dat movement. Why can't our players attempt to move like that? The Dortmund players are on a completely different level to ours but even poor players can move into space. Touch, control and passing ability yeah, granted, but simple things like moving about the pitch it something every player should be capable of doing so why can't we? Really frustrating to see us fail to do the simple things like sensible movement week after week. It wouldn't cure our impotence going forward but it would be a start. Because Pardew is all about shape and rigid defensive positioning. Whereas Dortmund are about forward movement and freedom to express themselves as footballers, knowing that keeping the ball means the opposition can't hurt you if they don't have it. Therefore allowing you to take risks. Flys in the face of everything Pardew. Well imo like. End of the day if you keep the ball, they simply can't score. With the players we've got, it should be fairly easy to achieve. I disagree with that slightly because Dortmund don't usually dominate possession at least against the big teams. They average less than 40% in this years CL iirc, what they do is press ridiculously well so when they lose the ball the opposition can't do anything anyway as the attacks are stopped before they start. Thus for Dortmund they are closer to goal when they win the ball also needing less passes to hurt the opposition. Its f*cking class to watch IMO. Difference being Mole, is when Dortmund dont have the ball they close the opposition down. We on the other hand just sit there deep waiting to get opened up, putting little or no pressure on the ball. I truly despair at Pardew's tactics. Oh i agree, was just pointing out that Dortmund's football isn't really from the Barca school of if they can't have the ball they can't hurt us. Its rather different and honestly IMO at least better to watch. Both are miles better than Pardball mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRONG! Every team better than us must be referenced back to Pardew & the TRUTH that he is telling our WORLD CLASS players to play as SHIT as they can.

With the players we've got, it should be fairly easy to achieve. Exactly and that's why we know Pardew is a crap coach, he simply can't get his teams to keep the ball. And when our GK comes to hoof the ball in the oppositions box anytime we get a free kick near the halfway line, a tactic that never ever works. Is it any wonder we doubt the bloke. Genuinely think that Pardew's entire philosophy is to keep the ball as far away from our goal as possible. The longer it's down there the more likely we are to scramble a goal. There's no pattern or system we use, we just pick an XI to occupy 11 positions on the park, attempt to keep the ball as far away from Krul as possible and hope for the best. It's fucking awful to watch and unfortunately I can't see it changing while he's here. Bleurgh. My sentiments exactly. To the other lads, I agree Dortmund's style works, but for us, I think if we just focussed on keeping the ball and making the other team work hard that would be a start. The pressing needs to go in conjunction with this for us to be successful of course, but I think we have to go one step at a time with Pardew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
