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.

Obviously it wasn't a great managerial performance from Pardew but the second half was more nerves than anything else. Hopefully they will start to settle now.

You're mistaking confidence and momentum for weakness IMO. We don't lack spirit, we're just nervous because we've had such a bad run.

Highlights: Sissoko, very solid performance from Krul, goal for Cisse

Lowlights: Jonas throughout, choice of subs, couldn't keep the ball for 5 seconds 2nd half, Taylor getting caught out quite a few times by Benteke 2nd half

Debuchy needs to get his act together. It was a really stupid tackle and that could have lost us the game. He looked vulnerable throughout.

 

We still need some kind of counter-attacking threat when the opposition piles forward like that. All we did was hoof it away, and of course it comes straight back.

 

Krul saved our bacon really. Not for the first time.

 

Seems to be lacking a bit of fitness - quite laboured when running as the game went on.

they put pressure on, sissoko and debuchy who ran the first half then looked shot, weren't looking for the ball off the defenders (so where do they put it ?) and didn't really work off the ball.................but it's all pardews fault. (i've slagged him off for other things, wasn't the strarting XI i'd have picked) but the difference between the first and second half was down to villa, not to pardew and tactics.

First half we looked so composed then Villa decided to close down space and that's when it went pear-shaped. That's down to Pardew because he can't get the team to calm down and stop hoofing it when we need to calm down and play the ball out. Fuck me what a stressful game.

Gutierrez was absolutely fucking garbage today. How come when he was dropped he then came in for 90 minutes? You'd think if he only got in cos of an injury and then played like a fucking twat again, he'd be subbed, but no. His ball retention today was worse than Smith, Obertan, Amdy Faye and Paul Huntington rolled into one ffs.

Why do I still feel the need to change the banner to :anguish: nline after that? Delighted we held on, but fucking hell that was absymal second-half.

 

Shola as an auxiliary central defender for about 10 minutes :lol:

3 away points. Time to start clawing our way back up that table.

 

Seems to be fashionable to label Pardew a 'cunt' despite the win. The strange world of the internet forum. Cheer up lads, laters x

 

A Shola and a Pardew fan. What a combination. :yao: :memelol:

 

Not a Pardew fan, simply not a melodramatic little girl. The forum this season has turned into a struggle for which poster can produce the most impressive faux anger. It's a shame.

I'm not his biggest hater but he was rank. His reason for starting just doesn't exist any more. Can only assume he will go out when Tiote comes back.

Yup. This will be a massive confidence boost. Thought Sissoko and Gouffran played really well and without fear, that is the kind of thing fresh minds and legs brings to the squad.
