Gallowgate Toon Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 What a joke that was. Couldn't get a grip of the ball due to constantly playing it long, then, instead of trying to get a proper control of the midfield in the second half, we went 4-4-2 and gave them even more space to have their way with the ball. Sat off too much and generally made it piss easy for them. We had players missing but that doesn't excuse that completely clueless showing. Played into their hands, O'Shea and Brown could handle that all day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
indi Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 The worst thing about that game was that the best team won. We were awful and they were quite good. We're gonna miss Cabaye so much and that's not just because of how good a player he is as an individual, but mainly because of his effect on the rest of our team. With him the rest of them who are decent supporting players but don't have that extra creative spark that can change a game can relax and play within the limits of their abilities. Without him they feel like they have to fill the gap he's left behind and try to play beyond themselves, meaning they end up performing worse than they would have done otherwise. We have no-one who can fill that role, so we're going to have to find a different way of playing or the rest of the season is going to be a nightmare. I know it's seriously early days, but De Jong looks like a bit of a dud, that first big chance he had where he was clean through and inexplicably turned and ran straight into a load of their players was seriously depressing. I guess he's low on confidence given what's happened following his last move, but it doesn't look like coming to us has snapped him out of it like often happens, reckon he'll have a disappointing time for us and we'll end up not signing him in the summer. That's just a gut feeling, hope it's wrong. Mapou must have shagged Pardew's mam or something, it's totally inexplicable that Taylor's in the team ahead of him. It's inexplicable that Taylor's in the team ahead of anyone though, to be honest. The reason people like Taylor and Shola get picked ahead of other options is the same reason Tevez and Mascherano used to get benched in favour of British footballers at West ham. Pardew likes to go with the players which fit his ethos. To be fair to Shola, everyone knows he's not up to it, but at least he did something today, I know he didn't take any of them but he created a few chances and got a few efforts on target, which is more than can be said for the rest of them. If I was giving marks for today's game I'd give Shola a 2, Krul a 7 and the rest 0 if they're lucky. I think you're right about Pardew though, I think he often picks players for reasons other than that their the best man for the job. I think he buys into the myth that we want a team full of locals more than we want a decent team, there's no other possible reason that Taylor is still at the club, let alone in the team. Similarly the only reason for bringing Dummett on ahead of Haidara is because he's British. Does anyone really actually care where our players come from? I couldn't give a shit myself. I would love to have local players if they were good enough. Ask a Sunderland fan today if he'd be happier with British players and a British manager and see what answer you'll get. Yeah, but they're not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomson Mouse Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Is it kicking off at all? While emvarassing, a bit of me wants it to to show these t***s what the result does to this city. No doubt they consider it an unfortunate.defeat like that to Hull, but hey,.were safe, we beat manu, chlesea, cant win them all. Why would they give a fuck about what we do to our city?

toontownman Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Thought Marveaux did ok when he came on That's hardly a surprise to us.. Maybe to Alan. This happens when Pardew finally has no choice but to play the players he has frozen out. Same with Ben arfa a couple of years ago and marveaux last year. Infact it's almost the same as last season.
