Mick Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Had our chances and should have scored, but outclassed none the less. Their passing around the midfield was at a level that we're completely incapable of. Cabaye or no Cabaye. Annoying that we've had to face three tough games - the local derby and two CL standard sides - without our main goal threat. Load of bollocks, how was the mackem game a difficult game other than us making it so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Our line-up looked encouraging on paper At any other club (or at this club in any other time), it would have been a suicide note. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An eminently winnable game for both teams, even more given you're less shit away than you are at home. Less shit, yes, but we are currently 10th in the "away matches only" league, so we're not exactly Bayern Munich on our travels, despite the media banging on about it all the time.

NUFC Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 What was Williamson doing for the first? goal, committed himself to a tackle he was nowhere near on the half way line, left loads of space behind him and the Spurs player turned him with ease, was like man against boy.

Mate don't slag Williamson, he's had about 3 decent months in his horrible NUFC career but that has suddenly put him up there with Albert, Woodgate and Coloccini for most here.

Aiston Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Williamson incredibly slow to react on the 3rd goal as well. He's been back to his usual awful self for 5-6+ games now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Who could have guessed that Taylor/Williamson wouldn't be a good combination at the back? Honestly it's at the point where it has to be some sort of massive trolling session. Just senseless stuff all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Unfortunately we have very few (if any) players with both passion and genuine ability. When the chips are down this becomes a problem, not to mention the awful lack of leadership on and off the field. It's a massive, massive problem. I do agree, but what passion/commitment that is there in the players has been eroded and nullified. The lack of ambition from the top down has washed away a culture which can sustain professional pride, I can't see how it couldn't tbh. I'm not as convinced our first XI is as poor, ability wise, as they've been showing lately. Cabaye is a fucking huge loss though, and our balance has been thrown the fuck off without him. Still, our first XI is only a few players short of being a pretty decent outfit that can compete well with most teams. Well, in theory anyway if not with Pardew. Beneath that, we're a long, long way off a top four squad. I'm beginning to think Cabaye was the only one knitting the side together, he was our outstanding player by a country mile and our form and results has basically been linked to if he was playing and how well he was playing. Without him the entire team is lost and we've lost any and all creativity in the centre of midfield, Tiote's good at what he does but it ain't anything that will be in anyway positive in the final third (we've also missed him badly in the last 2 games) Anita-what the hell does he actually do? He doesn't win the ball he has fuck all ability to create something what is the point of him? Sissoko is what he is, a player with tremendous physical attributes not so many technical attributes. Throw in a lack of natural width full backs who can't defend to save their lives and the strikers the club actually owns being worth the square root of fuck all its not in anyway surprising when you take out the outstanding player in the side and refuse to even bother to replace him that our form nosedives.

Looked fine against Norwich (without a finishing touch) before Pardew had his style-of-play epiphany. One of the best 45 minutes I've seen from an NUFC side without scoring for a long time in fact. Also Norwich have looked handy since, so it's not like they're in horrendous form or can't play at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the last one before we played Spurs? “For us, it’s about Tottenham, and the one beauty of the result today is to go to Tottenham and let our hair down.” “We will have a go and if we are beaten, we are beaten, but we will certainly try to go and win the game there.” Got beat 5-0.
