We completely sank to their level, any competent side who move the ball quickly would have embarrassed them, the way they were flying into tackles and running after everything. Pardew's never been able to exploit the gaping holes left by sides that play that way, he prefers to attempt to go toe-to-toe but hasn't got the personnel to do it.

Gallowgate Toon Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 That was the biggest issue, we didn't open them up at all. Too many daft shots, not enough movement etc. We are a counter-attacking team with our current set up but we have shown we can do a bit of damage in possession when the fool stumbles on to the right balance. Today, they largely sat back and our disjointed lot could do naff all about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Honestly the worst I've felt about this team in the 20 years I've supported. At least in the times of Gullit, Dogleash and Souness there was always a light at the end of the tunnel. It was a cold hard slog and depressing at times but we knew it was only a matter of time before Fat Fred exercised that itchy trigger finger. This is relentless, there's no end in sight, he gets away with one embarrassment after another with a half decent game sandwiched in between. What does this clueless cnut have to do to get the chop?!? Fuck it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 TF: An unforgivable performance saw us slump to defeat to the worst Sunderland side in a decade. We started with Dummett in place of Mbiwa, the only change from the battling point against Liverpool a week earlier but things couldn’t have got to a worse start as we conceded within five minutes. It was a shocker to concede aswell, with Johnson given an embarassingly free run from a corner to clip a cross over to Fletcher, who left Dummett rooted to the spot to head home. The goal got their confidence up and for ten minutes or so we were hanging on to being one down before we slowly got a grip on the game. For all our possession though, we created next to nothing and our lack of width was there for all to see with Sissoko and Gouffran utterly ineffective. I’d go as far as saying that neither are good enough to play for NUFC – the former possibly through hideous coaching (I’ll come to that in a minute) and the latter through being just rank fucking average. We went in one down at half time and thankfully Pardew saw fit to put Sissoko and the travelling support out of their misery, replacing him with Cisse to at least give a semblance of shape to the side, with Ben Arfa given a little more structure pushed wide and a run and shot, or cross if we are being generous from him led to the equaliser, with Debuchy losing Johnson at the back post to put the ball into an empty net. The goal was met with relief from the travelling Mags and while the game looked their for the taking, we seemed to go into our shell for the final half hour and gift the initiative back to the Mackems. Remy was withdrawn for the last twenty minutes to make way for Shola. God knows why mind. Is the Frenchman still not match fit two months after making his debut for us? Was he sacrificed for taking on the mantle that Cisse has had for the last year – namely front man with absolutely bugger all service? Anyway, the change hardly inspired us and as the game drifted to a conclusion, Sunderland looked more likely to grab a winner than us. And so it proved when they won a free kick from an innocuous challenge just inside our half with five minutes left. Quickly taken, it caught us napping and with two passes, substitute Borini picked it up 20 yards out and lashed a shot past Krul. Good shot and all but frighteningly straightforward and despite (said in the loosest sense of the word) the introduction of Sammy, they held on for a victory that they just about deserved based on our generally aimless performance. That is damning them with faint praise as we managed to be even worse than they were, and they were absolute garbage. I do hope that this doesn’t translate as bitterness because I’m happy to accept when we deserve to get beat, but Sunderland will be relegated this year and looking at us today, we’ll be down there scrapping it out with them. Pardew, for me, is finished at NUFC. I’m totally disinterested by anything he has to say anymore although I believe he tried to shift the blame on our defeat to the officials. That isn’t why we lost. Let’s be absolutely brutally honest. We came fifth under him with a massive slice of fortune – no injuries, no suspensions, all the rub of the green. Since that, we have been on the whole dreadful. Decent players like Sissoko and Debuchy have visibly regressed since signing. Excellent players like Cabaye and Ben Arfa clearly aren’t motivated by him and why would they be? The latter has been dropped despite being by far and away our most creative player to accommodate rubbish like Gouffran whilst the former has been embroiled in a ‘strike’ that was far from what it was made out to be. It goes deeper though and again, let’s be brutally honest. No Premier League team with serious aspirations would have a coaching team consisting of John Carver, Steve Stone and Peter Beardsley. Carver is the most experienced of those and aside from us, has never had experience at a top flight club. I’m reliably informed (by him, at more than one talk in I’ve seen him speak at) that he plays a major role in pumping the team up on derby day with motivational videos and chats. OK. Stone has coached nowhere other than NUFC and as much as it pains me to say it, as he was such a fantastic footballer, Beardsley’s sole qualification for the role appears to be shining Ashley’s helmet for him. So in short, our manager isn’t good enough and is now sounding like a bullshitter and his coaching team are doing nothing whatsoever to develop footballers, be they established internationals or younger players from the Academy. The whole set up is second rate but as long as we don’t get relegated and we probably won’t again, just, then why would Ashley give a fuck? It’s all as depressing as getting excited about a derby between two nonentities on the national/international stage. They’ve got the infamous ‘bragging rights’ for the next few months and fair play to them. We might have them for a few months after that but ultimately, who really gives a fuck? Is this all we’ve got to look forward to for the rest of our lives between us? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathetic. funny you say that, when they won the corner they scored from for some reason it struck me that how they won it was through football basics that we haven't employed for a very long time...altidore isn't going to score many goals but throw the ball to him quickly and he'll protect like a bastard to win you the corner, which he did, and they scored from it not sure why it struck me at that point (before they took took the corner and scored) but it just annoyed me because we can't do a fucking thing that they teach kids in basic football classes another that annoyed the shit out of me, and it was so obvious, was pardew with this ben arfa false nine bollocks...there was never going to be any actual plan was there? was always just going to be "throw benny in, he's good. allardyce fucked spurs 3-0 doing it so we should be able to as well"...another potentially good idea falling flat on it's arse because we don't coach or train people properly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 A deserved defeat after a mediocre performance and a negative approach to a game in which the players should need no motivating...not that Pardew seems very capable of THAT... Our lack of decent CB cover cost us the early goal and our attempts to get back into the game were laboured and slow - no forward worth their salt would enjoy playing for this side as the build up is so slow that the opposition has plenty of time to get cover on all our forward players by the time the ball reaches the penalty area. Even Remy is beginning to look as if the Pardew disease has got him too, because he had a poor game. HBA was heavily marked every time he got the ball and instead of passing and moving, he tried to retain it which usually ended up with us losing possession again. Haven't a clue where Sissoko is supposed to be playing and I suspect he doesn't either and the only player to look decent on the day was Tiote who at least ran his socks off to try to keep us moving and break their momentum, not that they were any great shakes which makes the result even more galling. Debuchy did well to imitate Dummett's blind side run against Liverpool and convert HBA's cross-cum-shot, but we took our foot off the gas and Pardew's subs did nothing to improve things except that Shola did hold the ball up better than Cisse who once again was a flop....Sunderland deserved their win if only for the fact that Borini did something our forwards seem incapable of, that is, beat a defender near the box, create space for a shot, and thrash it into the net, leaving Krul with no chance - the last time I remember anyone doing this - apart from Cabaye who isn't a forward - was HBA and he got very little chance to try it yesterday. Another day when our reputation got even more tarnished by the 3 wise monkeys running the club - this is the first back to back losses against the Mackems since 1967....Flower Power and all that......2 years before we won the Fairs Cup, to put it into context. Yes, Trashley, Kinnear and Pardew are doing a great job of making NUFC a team to be feared - esp if you support them..! I cannot see any change on the horizon unless we lose the next 3 games, and I suspect Man C might field reserves in the Cup game which would give Pardew another chance to delay the evil day for another few weeks. Meanwhile, Rome continues to burn as Nero fiddles down in Notts at his summer palace......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
