Wilson Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Expected to get humped. But the thing that bothers me the most is that we still haven't changed a thing, tactics, line up, anything. Apparently we shouldn't say that after 'just pre-season' games so I'll say it again now. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. Can't wait for West Ham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 We need a serious shake up. Revert back to 4-4-2 for me for the time being. Get a target man along side Cisse, (albeit it has to be Shola). Then get some solidarity about our play. We have no cutting edge and no defensive discipline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then get some solidarity about our play. We have no cutting edge and no defensive discipline. Totally agree. Pardew is out of his depth and trying too hard. The basis of our success in the season before last was a rigid defence, a functional formation and players doing the basics right. If we're not changing manager he needs to go back to something he can make work or we'll be in bother down the bottom of the league again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggs Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Worrying how there is a total lack of discipline amongst the players from the kick off ,yes they are a cracking team but wreckless challenges and a sending off is shocking just one game in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think he can get back to that, he lost it with the team and with his own ability. You see it all the time and this is exactly what it looks like, there's no turning this around.

Guest icemanblue Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Canny shite that, like. Everything looked like last season. The sending off obviously didn't help, but the game was already over. City were very good, but we made it easy for them. The manner of the defeat is demoralising and puts us properly on the back foot for the West Ham game. Scary to think it can, and probably will, get worse. Genuinely have not got a clue what we'll look like come September 2nd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 We won't ever get back to the unit we were with all these foreign players around imo. Today's performance by some of them reminded me of Liverpool last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 We're lacking some match ratings On its own, I could take this 4-0 because Man City are much better than us. But combined with Cabaye and the Pardew bullshit this is too much. Its not just one match either, I've seen this performance so much over the past year. No heart, no desire, no organisation. There's never any movement, corners are shit and we're so predictable with our laboured attacks. The 'French Project' isn't working and it isnt xenophobic to say that. In 2 weeks we'll be stuck with this lot til January. Pardew is a large part of the problem with his negativity but the players must take the blame too - he didnt force Debuchy to bring down Toure and he didnt tell Taylor to clothesline Aguero. Idiotic moments of madness. I'm just sick of all this. We're normally thrown the occasional bone during the dark times but I don't see any right now. Things must change. I dont think they will.

We can revert back to 4-4-2 and can sign players in the positions we see fit... OR ... use players pout of position / familiarity like we are already. At least it gives us a more defensive basis. We haven't got the cutting edge to out score people and we haven't got the defensive discipline to hold out so we need to go for the happy medium whhich is 4-4-2.

Guest neesy111 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Krul - 10. Didn't put a foot wrong. Debuchy - 3. That was the worst game I've ever seen by a RB at NUFC since Warren Barton v Troyes. Coloccini - 5. Taylor - 0. Thickest cunt on the planet. Yanga-Mbiwa - 5. Ben Arfa - 7. Best outfield player. Goufrran - 6. Decent. Jonas - 5. Tiote - 4. I fully understand why he was on the bench on the club we signed him for now. Sissoko - 5. Cisse - 4. Pardew - 0. KERNT.

Vinny Green Balls Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Is it too much to ask to compete like a team in the premier league? If some goat owner cursed Wrigley Field, did somebody bury a Jewish family underneath St. James Park? At least other teams with this much perpetual turmoil have the decency to just fuck off to the lower divisions and die. Not us. We have to have this brief mini-recoveries only for the dagger to be twisted again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I didn't think we started off 4-4-2. I thought we started 4-3-3 and abandoned it after the first goal as they had been absolutely torturing us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
