Foluwashola Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 It's been chronically bad like. Saved from a 'raging' vote thanks to the lack of outgoings. The lack of ambition embarrassing as per, of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisdom Body Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 If I'm honest, unconcerned, just like I've been all summer. Been a lot more worried about our management/coaching than the squad. I think our current team is good enough for a Europa League spot if managed competently (especially with just domestic competitions to worry about).

Rebellious Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 My thoughts are - We went for a few players but didn`t want to get ripped off on price or wages. We have a good enough squad of players, if we had a better manager. Ashley believes Pardew that the poor season was all down to Europe and now we are not in it our squad will finish 5th again.

Lotus Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 We have no one who can play LW. No one. Hardly a squad good enough without that is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 We have no one who can play LW. No one. Hardly a squad good enough without that is it? Depends if you play with wingers I suppose. We needed one, but we could get by if we play 433... giving us Gouff/Remy to play there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pards likes 4-4-2 in case no one has noticed. Also, a genuine 4-3-3 with that midfield is asking for trouble unless we've had to throw caution to the wind and go for it.

Have to say i'm not to familiar with other clubs squads beyond that level so I'm struggling to compare really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I know this window was not good. Mrs Bimpy even commented that it was a joke, if the bog of eternal stench noticed it, it must have been bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 It will be stretched and over run (imo). No where enough discipline to keep close as a unit. Will be spread out all over the place with Sissoko and Anita covering the wings and Cabaye lunging in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, naturally when defending the forwards have to drop in a bit aswell, it's not like they'll stand on the half way line waiting for us to get the ball back.

It's out best available lineup by far, always has been. Just hope the end of the Fulham game might give Pardew the encouragement he needs to go for it.
