Toonpack Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 3 for marveaux? What game were you watching?. The same one as me I reckon, he was very very poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Maul Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Marveaux had a poor game, him and Obertan were shite. Tbf whole team was shite in possession, it was the work that was done in defence that redeemed everyone. We kept a great shape and worked really hard off the ball, and when the back four did get breached Elliot was on hand with a big performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I think we'll go out in the second leg as I can't see us keeping a clean sheet or winning against this lot at home, they have some very good players. Good result tonight though, especially on an artificial pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangoliver Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Anita was very good for me - surprised when he was subbed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonpete1892 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Thanks to work I only got to see the second half but I thought it was a great result. Defence was strong, formation lacked a forward presence but with our pace it worked well, we gelled together despite new and inexperienced faces, the ball could have done with a little less air in it to aid first touches and the plastic grass needs to be longer so players can get their foot under the ball. Knowing how scrappy my 5aside games become when it is -5C and on a 4G pitch, I can sympathise with why it wasn't the prettiest of games. Well done Pardew and the lads! Imo, if we can't win a game at home, we don't deserve to go through. And that counts for any cup game, not just next week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 If you were Anita you'd be tempted to play shit, see if you get to stay on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf whole team was s**** in possession, it was the work that was done in defence that redeemed everyone. We kept a great shape and worked really hard off the ball, and when the back four did get breached Elliot was on hand with a big performance. Marveaux had a good solid hame. He tracked back AMD stuck hos foot in on numerous occasions to help break up anzhi attacks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest antz1uk Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Pardew usually is negative away from home, but in a two-legged tie in the latter stages of the Uefa it's exactly how you should approach the match, tbf. This Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Elliot - 8 - good saves, mediocre distrib Simpson - 7 - solid considering he's the worst right back ever Yanga-Mbiwa - 8.5 - looked like the player those on here talked up when he joined. Colossal. Perch - 7 - bit slack on a couple of occasions but playing out of position so to be expected. Haidara - 7 - a little naive but solid enough Anita - 5.5 - struggled to impose himself but worked hard Cabaye - 5.5 - see above Marveaux - 4.5 - added little going forward Sissoko - 5.5 - best of a poor bunch off the 'striker' Obertan - 4.5 - see Marveaux HBA - 4.5 - missed a good chance and lost it a lot, good workout though SUBS - negligible.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Very acceptable result, clear task left to beat them at SJP. Considering the possible disasters about the performance, result and injuries I'm pleased none of them came to pass. Good bonding trip for the lads as well. We're very much still in with a shout of going through, not too bad at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brazilianbob Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Marveaux did exactly what Pardew wanted from him. Its not all about looking good it's about getting the job done and as we clearly got the job done, how can anyone make a judgment that he was poor.

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Their only "very good" player is Willian and he looks like he's out for the 2nd leg, Eto'o as good as he is needs service like any striker and i don't see this team based on tonight giving him it.

Boosden Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Played to a plan, absorb the pressure, hopefully hit them on the break and grab a goal. Happy with that result and game plan especially the striking options we had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
