Newcastle Fan Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Cabaye really should've squared that, will come back to haunt us this.. Other than that, brilliant first half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Cisse is killing me today -- has to get his act together man. Give Gouffran his chance through the middle? It would have been nice with a striker capable of holding the ball up. I'd honestly take Cisse off, throw Gouffran on the wing and let Remy play in the middle.

cubaricho Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Cisse is killing me today -- has to get his act together man. It's killing me even more to hear Pardew yelling encouragement at Papiss every time a long ball comes at him. It sounds so condescending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 We need to be putting into midfield, moving it around more, taking the pace out of the game IMO. Villa are suited if it gets too open. Good performance though, just need to stick in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I also agree with the Cisse doubters he just doesn't pose enough of a threat at the moment. I'd like to see Remy moved centrally and Gouff put out wide left. It's also good to see our scouting of opposition is having a clear effect on the game. It's obvious we are targeting Lowton and his lack of pace and it's worked well for the most part. I'd like to see us Isolate him more one and one with Remy instead of having the likes of Cabaye drifting into that space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Anita has absolutely ran the midfield so far, a superb showing from him. Having him instead of Tiote is like night and day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cisse hasn't done that much wrong to be honest, but if he was to come off I think Marveux would be a better option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see Remy moved centrally and Gouff put out wide left. Cisse will be lucky to hit double figures this season, and he'll play every minute unfortunately.

Cronky Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Apart from the last move of the half we did nothing after the 1st goal, typical us. Our CB's are having possession for too long and too far up the pitch for my liking, it should be distributed quicker. Also we need to move the ball across the pitch when either Remy or Ben Arfa are doubled up on, that way we can exploit the other wing which is free. We need to be the ones controlling possession like we did before our goal because Villa are getting a little too much for my liking. If we want too we could be in full control of this game. Yeah, for some reason, we have trouble switching wings. We often ended up jammed up trying to thread the ball through a wide area that's become too crowded.

Dokko Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Villa haven't had a shot on target. Gonna be a one shot one goal FM robbery here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Villa are really good at pressing. We've dealt with it well. I think we're so well balanced it's made Villa look decptively ordinary. Honestly, if this was that Fulham side we played last, we'd be destroying them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Only been in four minutes but we've lost the ball four times trying to go forward in straight lines as quickly as possible. Pass sideways once in a while ffs! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
