Foluwashola Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Standard 2-0 loss I'd imagine. Would be delighted with a point, naturally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 4-4-2 With Shola ffs. Anita and HBA left out. Pardew really? Thoughts Brett? I moaned at this against City and they put in a canny performance, i had half a moan at the line up before Chelsea and they won. Can see why he's done it, options are limited, Cisse out of form, Ben Arfa struggled up top, Shola has give us something to aim at. Agree with the person a couple of posts up about the 4-4-2, Norwich played it and hardly seen the ball, hope we can do better than that. Feel sorry for Anita like, he should be starting. Dont' think Ben Arfa/Cisse/Colo can have too many complaints as they have either not took their chance or others deserve to be playing ahead of them. Shola f***ing Ameobi is starting instead of Hatem Ben Arfa, there's no excuse for that man.

We played for a draw against city and got beat in extra time, doesn't strike me as good gameplan. Shola serves no purpose apart from defending corners, To be fair I would have left out Colo for this and Mike and Mbiwa have looked decent. In regards to Cisse the man isn't good enough for me but Anita should be starting, when he came on last weekend we looked a lot more fluid and attacked with purpose.

Wilson Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Guess our gameplan is still to keep things tight until the 60th or 70th min before we have a go? Gonna keep doing it until it doesn't work. And then try it again, but try harder! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Indeed. I enjoyed that tactical masterclass by our esteemed leader and look forward to seeing it replicated today.... You took the words out of my mouth, or is it fingers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shola f***ing Ameobi is starting instead of Hatem Ben Arfa, there's no excuse for that man. I've said it many times, i'd have Ben Arfa playing every single minute of every single match but he's clearly a frustrating player for a football manager. We've generally played well when he hasn't been playing though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Surely AVB will know Pardew will try this again, seeing as Pardew is a tad predictable , should be interesting in how Tottenham approach this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 We won because we brought Anita and Cisse (much lesser extent) on. I guess that's it this week too If you can place bets on when subs are made, go take a look at that Chelsea game and open your wallet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmymag Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Pardew's book of tactic: 1 of 1 - Keep it tight for 75 minutes and then UNLEASH HELL! (Well, in our case, get slightly better offensive players players on) Note: We're fucked if we concede before we score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Classic Pardew, he clings to what works for any period of time until it doesn't work, then abandons it completely for something totally different. Shola ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shola ffs. That's definitely his trademark these days - if this doesn't work again he won't just tweak it for the next game, it'll be the whole blueprint in the bin and start again.

Couldn't disagree more about Cisse simply not being good enough. But that's for another day, the side has been picked, it's a decent side on the back of a win agaisnt Chelsea and there's no reason to why we can't expect another decent showing today. I don't think we will win, not getting carried away off last weeks result but we have a fair chance of taking a draw off these. They are a very good side but have struggled themselves in recent weeks even if they have popped up with late winners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Aye not to sure its reward for winning more he clinging to the hope it will work again, I just hope he has the arse to change it sooner rather than later if it isn't working. May as well have written his tactics out on AVB's whiteboard, or maybe he has been a bit braver and instructed them to keep it tight for 55 mins not 60 just to add a little surprise.
