Yorkie Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 At least we'll have to commit some men forward second half. I think. If we had to concede then now's probably the best possible time. We'll have to come out fighting in the second half. We were content to let them have the ball for ages but that was always going to be risky when they've more men in midfield. Changing to 4-5-1 helped us get a footing but we've still surrendered possession too easily - namely from fucking stupid free-kicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 We just look like we haven't got a clue. Sloppy passing, completely unable to find a way through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Shite from Krul but a very insipid showing overall. At least we can bring on a left back to change it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Everything about this game has been shite. Us. Them. The atmosphere. The standard. A goal worthy of the occasion as well. No decent options on the bench really, either. Nailed on loss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Absolutely no need for Tioté in this game. Aye, Anita is quicker chasing the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Everyone's first touch has been off it. Cabaye's been absolutely woeful, which often means the entire team - going forward at least - is too. Tiote pointless tonight like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.R. Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Absolutely no need for Tioté in this game. About as much use as a golf club in a tennis match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thought we were the more dangerous looking side tbh, bad goal to concede, flapping the ball back into play rarely ends well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Anita on for Tiote for starters strait away don't waste time waiting, that change is a HT one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I can see what Pardew is trying to do here, if I am honest. Not working though, and we need to step it up. Anita for Tiote, so we move the ball around better and quicker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Yep Tiote is useless in this game, clearly a game for Anita. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Our final ball has been really poor .We've got to try to get some long shots on target because I can't see us getting many chances to get in their box. If we don't get a goal in the first 10 minutes of the second half then we'll definitely lose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Better than going into half time 1-0 up. I hope so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Anita for Tiote is about as obvious a substitution you could possibly make. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 We won the last four games, so losing tonight is probably fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Players need to rally second half to get Krul out the s***, he helped them in the Spurs win, time for some to repay his performance. Didn't deserve that to be behind, was looking very comfortable! Hopefully that was our poor half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I can see what Pardew is trying to do here, if I am honest. Not working though, and we need to step it up. Anita for Tiote, so we move the ball around better and quicker. aye, he's trying the same as 2 seasons ago and had been pretty similar till they scored. in that game we were much better in possession from about 25mins, today we haven't been.

BONTEMPI Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 So have we had our good half yet or not? The 36% possession is very misleading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Strange game, because despite Swansea's domination of possession and better passing, we looked the more likely to score. A bit of a rick by Krul. I feel we're a bit stuck now. Anita could add a bit of fresh energy, but the only real game-changer we can add to the attack is Sammy, and obviously he's inexperienced. Next goal is crucial. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 we can throw Sammy on for Shola I guess and go 4-3-3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
