Heron Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 We didn't have anything sufficient in front of our back four tonight and even that was questionable. Fucking dreadful. 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. I'm not one to jump on the "French cowards" bandwagon but we're desperate for some quality premiership experience in the squad. I really don't think it will matter too much tbh. The cunt manager and the cunts above the line will poison everything they touch. It goes beyond the manager this. Carr has a lot to answer for, since he can only sign players from 1 stinking country.

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thought Cisse started fairly well He did, typical knee jerk stuff tonight. Passes to him, immediately crowded by 3 city defenders, no options on, no link between him and midfield (again). Sure his touch was poor tonight but he's getting slated for not being an out ball target man tonight. He can actually link play just fine (he did it plenty when he first arrived).

Well thank fuck for you two. I know he tailed off badly fairly soon after as things generally descended into farce, but people don't half let rage cloud their judgement on here at times.

While i'm not raging, i tend to think a players first touch is very important, even more so for a front man to bring others into play. He was terrible and has been for ages, hopefully he'll get back to form, giving him a strike partner to hold the ball up will help, but he should be able to do the basics himself.

Dave Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Just going back to what I said about 2011/12, we went the first 11 Premier League games unbeaten and set up the whole season with basically this side and formation almost exclusively.

He was far from terrible at the start, which was all I said initially. Just wanted to bring a bit of balance.

Andy Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Just going back to what I said about 2011/12, we went the first 11 Premier League games unbeaten and set up the whole season with basically this side and formation almost exclusively. Krul Simpson S.Taylor Coloccini R.Taylor Obertan Cabaye Tiote Gutierrez Ba Best Simpler times. The simplicity of that set-up was perfect for Pardew. Defenders who were just expected to defend; natural width (none of these fancy wide-forward types); one defensive midfielder and one creative midfielder; and two forwards who could thrive on crosses and direct play. Simple and thus effective for a manager who isn't smart enough to handle the more complex set-ups that he tries to think about these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 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. Aside from the Jewish family, this is where I am. The result was always going to be the result, but they were in midseason "don't give a fuck" form. They can't possibly quit on this guy more than they have, yet we have to wait for the idiot to figure out what needed to be done at least 8 months ago.

Pilko Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Krul 7 Debuchy 4 Coloccini 5 Taylor 3 Yanga Mbiwa 5 (Dummett) 6.5 Tiote 3 Gutierrez 5 (Anita) 4 Sissoko 5 Ben Arfa 6.5 (Sammy Ameobi 3.5) Gouffran 5 Cisse 2.5 Wrote that straight after FT on my phone. Cisse was weak as water tonight. Maybe if he'd had a pre-season spent playing instead of crying about our shirt sponsors he might have had some form of impact. Tiote, Taylor (not a red but thank fuck he misses some games now), Anita, Debuchy, Colo, fuck me. Pitiful. Krul, HBA and particularly Dummett deserve credit. Navas didn't get a clean cross in 2nd half. Horrid. Fuck football.... Again! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
