TaylorJ_01 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 We didn't squeeze the pitch enough, that's what we failed at today. I heard that. What does it even mean? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I heard that. What does it even mean? I don't know and I can only guess the players are still trying to work it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Can only imagine he means compact defending with strong pressing from the fullbacks and wingers to force attacks back into the centre and back. At a guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I heard that. What does it even mean? I don't know and I can only guess the players are still trying to work it out. Ask David Icke, he pumps over a grand a year into the club, probably got a Pardew dictionary as a gift from the club, he can probably look it up.

Ketsbaia Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Shit stuff from us today, we had no intention of going for points here. We played well between 2-0 and 3-0 but it's game over by then. Whilst this score didnt worry me, the Wigan score has me petrified.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's right we didn't and what it means is pressing to limit their space.... problem is he wouldn't have a clue at how to do this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Danny Simpson ladies and gentlemen. Did ok today tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Simpson can be excused IMO, he's poor and played as such. The distinct lack of effort from those better and in some cases internationals infront of him are the ones who should be feeling the wrath and scorn of the fans.

Wullie Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I'm not generally someone who will slag him off regardless and said often that blaming him and Williamson for us not playing football before January was utterly laughable. But I thought he was fucking atrocious against City, offensively shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Both of the fullbacks were absolutely awful. Practically every attack came through them, as awful as Pardew set us up the biggest reason next to that was how awful both fullbacks were. Hardly unpredictable though we all saw it coming.

merlin Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 A predictable result from a predictable manager - even allowing for the number of injuries we have. The summary on ESPN of the game told the tale - defeat admitted before we even started, and the only aim of keeping a hint of respectability to the scoreline.Nobody expected a win at the Etihad but this was abject surrender. We were lucky to get Nil - played off the park for most of the first half and the only surprise was that it took City over 40 mins to get on the scoresheet. One player up front for most of the half and he looks more disenchanted by the week. Unable to keep the ball for any length of time, it was inevitable that they would break us down. Second half started with a token 5 minutes of resistance in which we could have scored with a nice move between Sissoko and Cabaye, but that soon ended when City scored again after 55 mins. They had the game won, knew it and eased off but still got a 4th easily enough..... This is a disgrace to the thousands of fans who support the club and who deserve better, esp those who travelled to Manchester and probably paid over 150 pounds for travel, tickets etc... At present, Pardew is doing in football terms what UK Govts have all been doing over the last 40 years - managing decline. NUFC is going to end up as a permanent also-ran, just above a relegation place(if we are lucky) every year from now on if he remains in charge - his record proves that he initially has a brief period of success then his teams fade away and that is happening even though we spent more than any other club in January. He wasn't helped by the club's myopic decision in not strengthening the side last summer - but other managers at the bottom of the table have succeeded in getting their teams to do better since Christmas without the luxury of millions being spent on their sides...Villa and Southampton among them. We now face a crucial game v Fulham at SJP next week - lose that, or even draw, and we are heading for trouble again, with tough games against Liverpool, Arsenal and the derby with the Mackems at SJP...none of these games look at all easy and bearing in mind the atrocious away record, points will be needed from them. Clubs like Villa and Wigan will have had a huge lift from our bad run of results and redouble their efforts as a result - forget Benfica, the Fulham game is the one we need to win...desperately.

Dell Boi Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Good post We now face a crucial game v Fulham at SJP next week Jeez the last time I remember a crucial game v Fulham at SJP was that penultimate match of the relegation season.

David28 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Yeah but normally that sort of Nike compression underwear tightens your body (look at Rooney's post match pictures when wearing them vs. his holiday pictures at times ) and Rob still looked fat.
