We could have been 0-4 before they scored. Bit shit from Krul on the goal really, we've weathered it reasonably well since they scored. Will be an interesting half and Pardew's subs will be vital.

So nice of Pardew to instruct us to stop playing that attractive positive football for the last 20 minutes of that half :lol:, tbf though been a great effort so far, well done lads!

I'd actually take Perch off Bigi. Don't want him on with a yellow against this lot, and I think Bigi is actually much smarter than Perch - who loves to slide tackle too much.

Scoreline is pretty great, performance was too until that few seconds when we hit the post and they scored. Since then they've noticably stepped up and we're struggling to cope with their passing and movement.

 

Pardew needs to tweak things a bit whilst retaining our attacking threat because if we get a foothold in the game again there's another goal for us here.

 

One thing that bugs the hell out of me is. Why have someone like Perch (usually Tiote), if they dont sit in front of the back four where this team are getting space.

 

Perch just chases it until he's completely passed out of the move. Just sit in the f***ing middle ffs.

 

Yep, his work as a DM is normally ok except when he has to deal with a no 10 type and he can't cope.

Good for the 1st 15 mins, a bit all over the place for the last 30. We seem very static. I expect that when we have the ball but I'm a bit surprised that we not picking up runners when they have the ball. We need a good team talk.

How are we? I'm on the train now on my way home from the airport. How are we getting along? Send me a pm anyone who has the power to help a fellow supporter out with some kind of analysis. And let it not be Semtex or Mike.

 

We're looking good. Decent forechecking from Moose, Marv is playing the PG role like he lives in Orlando and Simpson thinks he's Kaepernick.

 

:lol: Forechecking :lol: Fucking hell. How was Cisses homerun?

Does them scoring cancel out our goal, like?

Priceless away goal even if they score another.

 

If this continues, im afraid they will score more than one...

Really?, in all honesty they haven't really done that much, everything has been our own doing. Their most threatening attacks all came of the back of our attacks, everything else has just been a little sloppy from us.

Typical Pardew. Go 0-1 up and let them back in to it. Get that cunt out & he can take Simpson and Jonas off too. Sick of the pair of them, waste of wages.

 

MOM - Cabaye, definitely doing stuff.

Our main problem is the space between the defence and midfield.  Perch & Cabaye who should be protecting the defence are both not doing it.

 

Totally agree. That should be the main focus defensively.
