Guest bimpy474 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Thought he got it ok today, we competed and played ok. Bizarre his arse will fall out when we play someone like Palace at home. It was the right idea to play an extra midfielder, but switching the two wingers after 5 mins cost us the goal. Then he took the best player on the pitch off and we lost our momentum in the final 20 mins. Apart from picking the right starting line up, I'm not sure he did that much to influence the game once it was underway. Aye the subs were wrong imo. It was more the way we passed it, again we were too static up top but at least we competed and didn't roll over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 The subs were wrong but whatever. I could certainly never be a premier league manager, would have fines coming out of pretty much every orifice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 The subs were wrong but whatever. Agreed....unless Anita was injured talking him off seemed bizarre. But regardless bringing Cisse on ahead of Ben Afra was a mistake. Cisse unfortunately adds nothing atm, Benny creates and it would have given him more than the 10 mins he got.

Pilko Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Actually, I've changed my mind, I wish he'd stop bringing Haidara on every fucking week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Actually, I've changed my mind, I wish he'd stop bringing Haidara on every fucking week. Yeah, total waste of a sub every single time. He needs game time so send him out on loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Needs to arrest this run of defeats and does not usually do very well against his former clubs. Luckily West Ham are not very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozy Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 If NUFC are going to form, they should be blocking the whole national press if they slag us off massively tomorrow. If they do that, I'd send out another press statement like we did with Haidara last year, pointing to the press looking for any excuse to overlook the blatant match fixing from an official in favour of one of the media darling/cash rich teams. Cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONTEMPI Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Against the big clubs is not the problem at the minute, as performances on the whole is where you want it to be. Sure we'd like slicker passing and better quality but it's harder against the top teams. My problem with this bloke is against the also rans and relegation fodder teams. If we put in half the effort that we have against the bigger clubs this season, we'd have pulled in a lot more points. Just angers me the lack of urgency at times.

Disco Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Was surprised by the Anita substitution as I thought he was arguably our best player second half but I can see why he did it, just a shame Cisse is dogshit at the minute and baring worth bringing on.

Mattoon Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 An honest question as I didn't see the game, was working, but do you think we'd have played with the same intensity and passion had that goal not been disallowed? I.e. we're we just going through the usual motions and that sparked us into life? I only ask because its a criticism of Pardew that he can't motivate a team and that's why we only seem motivated against better opposition (the players self motivating) and so our motivation for this game was the objectionable refereeing. Or did Pardew just get it right and we play it right from the off? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 We started well, then City scored with their first attack, after that we had a period of 10-15 minutes where we looked poor before we got back into the game. From around 25 minutes, we were by far the better team, so it wasn't just the non-goal that got us going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anita was superb, as were a few others, and as you rightly say probably our best player today, but we had to try something different at that time.
