Guest Haris Vuckic Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 We're playing the only style Pardew knows how to coach. Pretty desperate. I'd expect City to come out stronger in the second half and make the necessary tactical adjustments. It's a pretty weak line up for them and one seriously lacking in creativity. Don't stick your neck out too much kid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Only seen from ~20mins but we've been decent IMO. Cisse should have scored, and Anita should have hit the target. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 What sort of formation are we playing? Looks like 4-4-2 from the line up? 4-4-2, long diagonals in to the forwards / FBs overlapping. Working pretty well although I fear we've wasted our chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp40 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 good 1st half? Is it better than breaking bad? im just starting season 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 A lot of physicality and athleticism in this side. This is ultimately the type of side he would prefer to manage. This really isn't much different from our normal first team side, other than the Haidara make an appearance from the dark. http://i.imgur.com/iLxRAvH.jpg Anita and Haidara are the only players playing now that didn't play on Sunday. edit: Mbiwa would have played if not for his ban of course. Shola's girth up front. Sissoko's physicality and athleticism out wide instead of Ben Arfa. Anita though petite is a more mobile and athletic than Cabaye. Haidara at left back is more physical than Santon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 think we need to swap remy for cisse if he's still not scored after 65mins. either that or persist with cisse and swap gouff for ben arfa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Think he may regret not going full strength for this. Man City are here for the taking if we really went for it. Hope they don't bring Silva on. This is a better display than what full strength would yield. Less rigid, bit more movement and they haven't been coached by Pardew much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Missed what sounds like a decent first half... You watch us capitulate now I'm watching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Decent half that, good stuff at times, we're more in the game than I was expecting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Nice to see us play with spirit. I can handle us not having players as good as them and i can handle or manager being a complete tactical clown in comparison to Pelliegrini. What i have hated is when we've come into these games without any motivation and conviction so this is a really nice change. Hope we keep it up for the 2nd half.

Guest bimpy474 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Think we missed a good chance to be in front, i cant see Man City being as bad 2nd half. We've been the better team by far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Good first half. Could have took a lead into the break if Cisse still possessed a soul. Never know, still in it for the last 20 and Ben Arfa or Remy could come on and win it. Or Tiote gets sent off and we lose 3-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
