Glad we tried to surprise City by aiming for Williamson at set pieces. Genius

 

:lol: I'd love to say I can't believe we're still trying this useless routine, however I can believe it. It's pathetic. Why bother thinking of something else?

 

It is honestly mad.

The worst part that really gets me is that Williamson is 99/100 way beyond the far post. Its not like he will get anything on target from them or has it in him to get it back :lol:

I can't believe he's into his 4th season of doing it. I mean, I absolutely can, I just mean that I can't believe that any human being would be that stupid on such a molecular level.

So this guy's team is getting praise for showing fighting spirit in the first game of the season, at home, with six players making their competitive debuts, against the champions. A game which we lost 2-0.

 

Well done Alan, well done. :lol:

After today there is at least hope. The shape was excellent and the style of play was how I like to see, direct but pleasing on the eye. We have the players for a fluid 4-3-3 and I truly hope this continues.

I don't agree with this at all, it was hoof and hope we get a break here and there.  When we got the ball down in the final third we looked alright at times.

 

It was basically exactly the same as it always is.

We barely played hoofball at all today, even Krul was rolling it out and passing from the back.

You must have been watching a different game to me then. There wasn't any shape other than everyone back defending and then hoping for some individual magic on the break. Ironically when we actually got enough players in support of the striker in the last 10 mins Krul started hoofing it long to the City CB's. :lol:

I'm sorry but that's completely different to what I saw, personally.

It was the same as last season. Not hoofing as much as 12/13, but no plan, no clue, no movement, no one in the box.  Except now our players are nowhere near as good as Ba, Cabaye, Remy (of the ones that we pretty much exclusively relied upon)

If we're going to use the 0 shots on target thing as a stick to beat Pardew with (not unfairly) then we should look at the other 'stats' too.

If you look at the passing specifically the accuracy for the majority is up around 90% which isn't bad at all. Krul still punts it long aimlessly far too often for my liking but the rest of them combined played 30 long balss, 20 of which were 'accurate'.

 

I try and treat each game individually and I liked what I saw today as I've said.

Again, that's not how I saw it so I'm inclined to disbelieve the stats.  There's not a hope in hell we only played 10 long balls that didn't reach their intended target today.
