Dyeyzzon Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'll probably get hounded for this, but I definately see potential in the Mbiwa-Colo partnership, I thought they looked comfortableish. Aye, there was once when Colo was done for pace but Mbiwa was there to cover up. They seem to complement each other very well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest palnese Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I really just don't want to hear what Pardew has to say after this. I don't want to rest my eyes on his fucking face ever again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 We really have no fucking idea what to do when we actually have the ball, which is a little bit more than alarming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I had a little patience for those optimists before, but not anymore. What do they have to do to convince you that this club is a total shambles? The give it time brigade can seriously go fuck off if they can't see the toxicity that engulfs this club. FFS.

Mick Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 The way I see it, the first half performance wasn't that bad, and I don't think it is fair to judge a team playing with 10 men versus arguably the best squad in the division. Individually you could say Taylor had a stinker, Debuchy defensively much the same, other than that everyone did alright. We were rotten in the first half.

alexthegreat Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Debuchy - pathetic defending for the 1st goal, very fortunate not to give away a penalty (yet another one), a bit of petulance for a yellow card, and at fault for Nasri's goal Taylor - pathetic defending for the 1st goal, a little fortunate not to give away a handball penalty (wouldn't be his first), total lack of discipline for the red card. You have absolutely no chance of avoiding a thrashing at City when half the back 4 is composed of a couple of tossers like this pair. On the left hand side I thought Mbiwa did well, Coloccini looks to have lost some pace, which is a little worrying. Cisse was absolutely feeble. It is difficult for a striker on his own against City (and with Gouffran's contribution he was on his own) but the way the ball bounced past him time and time again was pathetic, and the countless times he was brushed off the ball with ease just added up to a performance reminiscent of Shola at his worst. We definitely need to add a centre forward who is going to look capable of actually playing some football on a regular basis. Sissokho was such a disappointment. Last April I was actually looking forward to seeing what he could do against Toure and Toure just strolled over the top of him. He did absolutely nothing today again. Ben Arfa is on another planet to his team mates. Cabaye never made any difference in games like these anyway. Usual stuff from Jonas and Tiote - neither are very good footballers. Good stuff from our coaching staff - playing someone not fit then watching him limp off in the 1st half. How many times did someone go off injured in the first half last season? Set pieces were also the standard fare (although the wall for the free kick was a disgrace). Looks like we are going to continue where we left off.
