MyPalAl Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Is Charlie Adam fit for this? I'd like Tiote to earn his yellow on that dirty twat. Never mind Adam, is the Michael Owen fit? Would be nice to see him again and say hello. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ItalianMagpie Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Early goal and they'll crumble like last year. Just don't make the mistake of sitting back, giving them the ball and letting them launch it into our box for the entire second half. Have we ever not done that?

Have we ever not done that? aye and nar. we often get blamed for it even if it's not the tactic, ie the oppo pushing on a bit more due to being a goal behind. no denying sometimes we have but some try to make out we do it whenever we take a lead.

Some evidence of us pushing on when in the lead might help your case. pushing on ? we often tried to carry on as we were but the oppo were pushing on to catch up. as i've said before, more of an issue was why we couldn't put on that sort of pressure after going behind.

Well of course the opponents push on harder when they are behind, but that happens to every leading team in every game, and not all of them sit back not being able to handle the pressure. Plus, if the oppo push on that's when you get some chances to counter and can find spaces: I've never seen us doing that a single time this year, and I can't remember the last time we did it tbh. It's not just a coincidence that 90+% of our wins are by one goal margin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just a coincidence that 90+% of our wins are by one goal margin. if it happens to every leading team in every game why have we not done it when trailing ? the rest, for me, is a confidence issue, the nerves set in, players may well sit further back 'in case' without even knowing they are doing it. it's not necessarily tactics to do that . do you really think with the way we look when trying to hold on to a lead that we'd do that as a a deliberate tactic ?

TRon Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Tomorrow's match against Stoke is a real opportunity for Pardew to show some real balls in an attacking sense. Stoke don't have any real quality to hurt us other than from set pieces, but we could really rip them a new one if we pressurise their shite footballers when they have the ball, and get enough players in the box to capitalise when we have it.

Stoke play a percentage game which means they are willing to give up possession. So that gives us the opportunity to make that possession count by picking the right players in the right areas.
