Guest bimpy474 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Just got back from Watching this, does anybody know what position mbiwa was playing when he came on? In front of the back four it looked. Looked more like a midfielder in a flat 4-4-2 to me. Not sure how you saw it as a 4-4-2, i thought it was 4-fgljsfglsgsdgjsdolgdflgkdfkgdgflk-Shola.

Tachikoma Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Just got back from Watching this, does anybody know what position mbiwa was playing when he came on? In front of the back four it looked. I think everyone was just trying to fill space at that point, it was chaos. It was schoolboy-like, when one team is massively better than the other and the weaker team desperately tries to defend by packing the box to the brim - which doesn't usually work.

Neil Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Can imagine that being a strangely infuriating match for you all to watch. Seen it in a lot of games under Moyes where we play well first half, are comfortable, but for some reason think the way to win from there is to sit back. It's a completely void tactic, unless you have excellent organisation and good players all performing their job. The mentality generally though I don't agree with, it's a stone-age philosophy as far as I'm concerned - "more players back = we won't concede". Rubbish. Sissoko, as most would have guessed, looks like a ridiculously good deal for you. Cabaye again impressed and I thought Gouffran had a decent first outing. Those substitutions, well, I'll leave you guys to pick them apart. They were truly... ...but nonetheless, a great result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The formation was as it always is in the last twenty minutes under Pardew, winning, losing or drawing. Krul Everyone else Shola Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 is it really a sit back menatlity or a pushed back by the oppo mentality ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Watched in the Telegraph near the station......... 2nd half was heart attack football Pardew still seems incapable of a plan "B" and the players seems to immitate his lack of ideas and start hoofing it forwards. Shola is s**** end of...................kept screaming "keep the f***ing ball"!!!!!!!!!!! I don't understand why on so many occasions we come out 2nd half looking so relaxed- they must have known Villa were going to throw the kitchen sink at it. Substitutions were p*ss poor. Still it was a silly challenge from Debuchy that gave away the penalty and handed over the initiative. Irrespective of detailed analysis it's a HUGE win and we can move onto to Chelsea a little less under pressure. The new players will have had an idea of what the prem is all about now so the experience will count for a lot. 3 points............... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 is it really a sit back menatlity or a pushed back by the oppo mentality ? The latter IMO, the situation after half time was always likely to happen. We gave a way a soft pen to worsen the effect, and Pardew failed to counter it with changes. It's not an easy situation to get out of though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 is it really a sit back menatlity or a pushed back by the oppo mentality ? Nearly every game we've lead in for three years? Give over man. Look at half time in the match thread. Do the same in the Reading thread. It's the most predictable thing in football, it's usurped even the back post centre half free kick.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 does anyone know what the fuck happened in the run up to their penalty by the way? The last I saw before a replay of something just before was the ball going out for our throw in. It cuts back and the ball is fucking running through our 18 yard box!!!

TJM Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Villa were woeful first half; allowed us to control the midfield and dominate from there. As expected, they made changes to rectify that and regained control of the midfield in the 2nd half. Pardew's response to this was to remove a midfielder and put on Shola Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
