David28 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Glad it's over. Everybody expected a bumming and we got bummed. Don't understand the drama in this thread, it's not Pardew's fault if the players just don't give a f***. Main thing is we got through without new injuries and have four massive games coming up where I'm sure the performances will be a lot better and hopefully get few players back soon. Can't wait for Thursday. It's not the defeat, it's the style of it and the lack of effort. If there's one game where you can expect lack of effort it was this. To be fair I can't even fault the players, getting through without injuries was the main thing. Agree here. Many people were even saying pre-match that they wouldn't bother about this particular match, yet react like we just got relegated. Not me, the one thing the players can do, for the fans that travel is try. Get beat by the better team fine but not surrender gutless like today. And i would say that whether we were in the top ten, facing a cup game or no game this week. Trying is the minimum we should expect. For the fans that traveled, yes it is indeed hard to take and they've got every right to be angry at Pardew and the players. For all the others, that could switch off the 'TV', they shouldn't complain too much because, as pata said, not getting any new injuries was important today. Thursday (and the two so important home games after that) will show if Pardew was right or wrong. I hope that we'll get 3 wins out of our next 3 home games, and a result this Thursday.

Barnes23 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Lee Ryder @lee_ryder 18m Sissoko heads over to #nufc fans to hand shirt into the crowd. Probably the only player to emerge with credit today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for Thursday. The players may appear do not give a f*** but if you look at the wider picture it's plainly obvious that the players don't believe or have faith in what Pardew is asking them to do. This squad should never be set up to be defensive. Don't forget Colo has already told pardew his tactics are naff this season. And don't forget it's Pardew who has picked and made Shola captain in games this season. Now that is a player that I would agree doesn't try. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Lee Ryder @lee_ryder 18m Sissoko heads over to #nufc fans to hand shirt into the crowd. Probably the only player to emerge with credit today. I'm guessing he was instructed to do that after going straight down the tunnel on the FT whistle against Wigan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishMagpie Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Pards had basically written this game off before it started. Obviously one eye on Benfica and the other on the 'winnable' games against Fulham and the unwashed coming up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Writing a game off when we're very deep in a relegation battle is ok? I want to win the Europa as much as anyone but I'd take survival over that. It still escapes me why the two have to be mutually exclusive though - do the Europa winners typically get relegated?

Disco Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I'll say that was never any intent to try and compete today. Was all about getting through the game with no more injuries and hope for not too severe of a hiding. Absolute inexcusable given our league performance. The tactics were obvious contain and break but you can't contain a team like City when you've got several passengers on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Writing one game off, against an Uber team like this , where the effort and damage involved in competing is so high, compared to the other games up coming is acceptable yes.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 the only slight positive to take from today is that we all discovered Dan Gosling is actually still alive. Like actually breathing and moving 'n' that. He's still fucking garbage though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
