Cajun Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Still think he got away with rather than justified the MYM dropping but I can't moan about the results at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Improved a little but getting the rub of the green at present. Will never be convinced by this pleb. What like Olson not getting sent off and Cisse's disallowed goal against Norwich, Aye your soooo right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Still think he got away with rather than justified the MYM dropping but I can't moan about the results at the moment. I know what you mean, I would probably go for Mapou/Colo every game. But Mapou will get his chance and Willo is in good form, so it's a no-lose decision really.

Tiresias Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Colo does need games to get back to his best so it's a tough one, but Mapou was getting better too, really harsh on him. Wouldn't drop Willo, the speed of Mapou and Willo's no-nonsense approach is the perfect combination imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Brags about strong bench in pre-match interview Doesn´t use it He just meant Ben Arfa hasn't broken it yet. Ben Arfa wasn´t mentioned at all in the context I saw. He brought up the point that he thought he had a particular strong bench today, and that both our and WBAs bench most probably would be the key for both teams to win the game.

alexf Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Have to say I'm glad we went back to basics with defending. We were scoring goals at the start of the season too but defending like amateurs. Now the fullback don't bomb on everytime like idiots and the midfield protects them.

Guest fraser Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Improved a little but getting the rub of the green at present. Will never be convinced by this pleb. Not a fan of his but 'rub of the green' is not right. We should have been playing against ten and Tiote's booking was risible, affecting his performance from thereon.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 The way the midfielders were moving around and popping up in different positions today was very impressive. Whether it's down to Pardew or not, at least he's not telling them to stay in a rigid 442. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest icemanblue Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Canny month that, like. Could be a decent season if we can keep this momentum going. Lots of chances and lots of goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 When we finished fifth it was all built on a basic 4-4-2 with Cabaye and Tiote in the middle, a centre forward scoring for fun alongside a limited hold-up man and a sprinkling of pretty rubbish Englishmen in the side. Sound familiar? That's it. He's gone back to what he knows and he is good at it tbf. It'll never be exciting but he's not up to anything different. He's also largely abandoned several staples (such as Krul taking all free kicks more than forty yards from their goal and the lump to Williamson). Question remains as to what happens when one or two injuries arrive, what happens when we go behind etc but life feels so much easier when we're winning so enjoy it.

Interpolic Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I still don't enjoy watching our games on the whole, but good results are good results. Not a lot has changed, we're generally playing better stuff than the 2 seasons previous but I really don't think today falls into that bracket, it was a listless performance on the whole.

alexf Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Goals scored per game this season: 0021222222102122 Scored twice in 10/16 matches. Very good and I said earlier feels like we haven't had a problem scoring goals all season, it was just the shambolic defending that was costing us in the early games. Still though, can't help being frustrated that we can never go and get that 3rd goal in games and avoid these nerve racking final 10mins in games because we are only 1 goal ahead.

And like that season eventually we will hit a brick wall, then Anita and Ben Arfa will be of utmost importance to improve the attacking fluency and push the team on. Maybe if we are lucky we might get another Cisse in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
