Golfmag Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Can't ever remember the team EVER celebrating a victory like that. Incredible. And I don't ever seen a more tired team. They sweated blood tonight. Helped by a lot of time wasting btw. Second half was torture to watch, even live. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Villa drop into relegation spot on goal difference, with Reading 1 point behind them with a game in hand. Excellent. Reading's game in hand is Chelsea tomorrow night, not exactly a game in hand. chelsea's home forms gone to bits Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 That second half, man. Relieved for the win but the capitulation after conceding a goal is a massive worry. We had eleven men on the field ffs ; yes Villa were fired up but surely with the players we have we could have hit them on the counter as they were committing loads of players forward. Instead we have every player in a black and white shirt scramble around in our half, sit deep, receive the ball, proceed to launch it forward to no-one, rinse and re-fucking-peat. We were treating the ball like a grenade ffs, it was tactical suicide and we're lucky not to be walking away with less points than 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Thank f*** Awful, awful, awful second half tactics probably the same as the first but they never responded from the whistle in the second half. the players never responded to the higher pressure and tempo. Probably the same? Or looking at all of our other performances under Pardew, were they probably different? Given that we almost always concede initiative if we're winning. looking at today we didn't have the ball enough to see if we'd changed tactics. one thing for definite, cabaye and sissoko had nowhere near the movement looking for the ball and working in the second half, or was that pardews tactic, stand still 35yds out and don't even trail back ? Our holding players failed to control the tempo of the game, Cabaye in particular, just got away from them. They needed to be the ones to slow it down.

I think this is a point that needs to be understood. Obviously Pardew didn't manage to shore things up at all, but the game fragmented and turned into a situation where almost no gameplan was going to be implementable.

jimmymag Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Really really worried about this squad. We are mentally extremely weak, we inevitably crumble at the first hint of trouble no matter how shit is our opponent. Squad with no balls=relegation. Pardew is an idiot, but these players have no bollocks. Fuck this shit, hating football again. They say a team reflects the manager, and Pardew is a clueless coward in footballing terms. Bringing Shola on, and moving Cisse to the wing so that he could revert to his favourite hoofball tactic just underlined the point. Our squad is now far too good for Pardew, and will never get anywhere near their potential with him as manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Chelsea are going to poop on our faces. I can see us playing the game we should have played today against Chelsea, when we're expected to lose we're like a cornered rabid dog going for the jugular, the irony being if we play like that in all our games we wouldn't be in this mess. We only fear the shit teams cuz we know what will happen if we lose against them. Thoroughly expect a sterling performance against them. When have we turned it on this season? I'm feeling surprisingly down beat after our first away victory. Wish those two halves had been reversed, we'd all be buzzing right now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remove Gutierrez from the pitch at some point that could have gone a long way to sorting things out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I hate our negativity when we go in front. Midfielders rubbing shoulders with the centre backs, so depressing. A lot of that is natural but Pardew should encourage them to push out, on the contrary I think he tells them to stay back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well what comes around goes around, bitch, what comes around goes around . I can't wait until they're official relegated now, gonna do what he done to me on 24th of May 2009 only 10 times worst .

Half a season of games to support this so, afetr the first half they got the ball and thought, "hey i've got options to pass to but the manager said lump it 40yds"...bollocks man, at the start of the second half we tried to play it out and got caught through their higher tempo and cabaye and sissoko disappeared offensivly and defensivly (pretty sure thats a fitness thing) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
