Deuce Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I'm not sure what to think about the 2nd half. Was a much better performance by us but Everton went to sleep for me. They adopted a Fortress Newcastle approach. Like Martinez and Pardew switched teams at half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Look at Pardew gettign excited on the touchline like he's done something. What an asshole. Has he not changed the second half round? I forgot he only gets the blame for s***. Never credit for the smallest of positives. now is not the time lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot he only gets the blame for shit. Never credit for the smallest of positives. He managed to set the team up completely incorrectly and let us slip to a 3 goal deficit before making even the slightest change but he pulled everything back in the 2nd half so we only lost by 1. He fucked up. Badly. Again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Fair play Cabaye and Williamson in that 2nd half. Gouffran too. 1st half is up their with the liverpool game last season. You defend like that at any level you don't deserve anything from the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Strange one. Obviously you never stand a change if you give the game away inside 30 minutes. I don't think anything in the preparation it tactics can legislate for players just not even trying to defend. Shocking really. Showed character in the second half, but we need to learn to play something approaching football for a full 90 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Positives Scored a very nice goal. Remy scored again and looked dangerous. Only lost by one, which could matter come the end of the season. Negatives Everything else. I hope that almost criminal lack of conviction from Everton in the second half (who could still have had another three goals with ease) doesn't gloss over the shitstorm that was our first half showing. It was utterly pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Williamson made a big difference to our defending. Whatever his limitations, at least he gets close to his opponent and he's decisive. Yanga-Mbiwa and Colo haven't seemed like a good combination in theory, but we've run with it. They got found out tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthy Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Pardews shit lineup cost us the game. Tiote was a liability and sissoko on the wing is useless, same as using him as a number 10. His weird stupid tactic with high line and the defenders not marking properly (tiote and coloccini). I hope he stays in the cesspool that is Liverpool.

Guest bimpy474 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I'm not sure what to think about the 2nd half. Was a much better performance by us but Everton went to sleep for me. They did but we pressed them, amazing that a passing team doesn't like being pressed. Sitting back in the first half killed us, letting them play. And Pardew doesn't deserve credit for getting us to do what we should have done from the 1st whistle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Same as the second half at home to Man City last season in a lot of ways. They switched off and we showed that we can play well when on the ball and in space. Off the ball we're utter crap and will get consistently get punished for it. Stand by what I said 6 weeks ago: If we finish the season with this squad and this manager we'll go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Much improved second half. In the end, individual errors in defense and heads dropping cost us dearly.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I don't even think the second half was that much better. Introducing Cabaye brought about a slight improvement; it increased our tempo and made us look vaguely capable of producing something going forward. But Everton switched off for long spells of that half and that's what let us on. That second half hasn't papered over any cracks at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the mentality of the man Ian, He plays our best player out of position to cover off their left back ffs. If someone is negative all of the time it starts to rub off and this is why we've seen every single player we've bought under Pardew go backwards.

Oz Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Why was Cabs licking everyone Everton's arsehole when they went to ground in the second half? And again at the full time whistle?? He looked fucking delighted at when it was overtbh... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot he only gets the blame for s***. Never credit for the smallest of positives. I'm telling you now, and i'm sure there's others on here who've also played competitive sports. When you feel you've got nothing left to lose it's so much easier to play. The ones who succeed though are the ones who have the bottle to take that attitude into the START of a contest.

We looked a hell of a lot more solid with Williamson on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Jesus Christ! Some of you guys are actually trying to give that cretin any modicum of credit for that second half? Have you forgotten what just happened in the first half? That second half was purely down to the players beig lifted by Cabaye's performance and goal. He's likely the one they have any respect for, or see as anything resembling a leader. Pardew? No fucking way. A complete charlatan. The devil incarnate.

We weren't even good in that second half, much like the Villa game it looks acceptable because of the rank ineptitude that preceded it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Everton really weren't that great. They were talking about scintillating football, but we handed them all three goals. For sure, they're better than we are, but the second half showed the gap isn't that huge. I don't think Everton 'switched off'. We started playing as a team.
