Guest neesy111 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Going 442 was an awful tactic from the start especially with Sissoko and Anita in CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 The only protest is to stop giving them money for me that will work, though fans need to see a visible / vocal protest as well imo to rally the troops. When Souness was under pressure it was like the French revelution outside the Milburn, the fight is gone. Its now a waiting game until Ashley has finished or is done using NUFC.

BrettNUFC Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Side Pardew selected i thought was good, i would have had Ben Arfa for Gouff and Mym for Taylor but overall wasn't too disappointed. Yeah, he got 9 out of 11 players right, so not too bad. It's difficult to see where Pardew's responsibility begins at times with some people, even getting 9 out of the starting 11 right with limited available options is "good". Based on opinion. I was expecting a much worse side, didn't think Debuchy/Gouff/Cisse would be in the line up so was a boost to see their names. When i seen both line ups, silly me thought it was Sherwood who had fucked up as i would have made 3/4 changes to his side. Can't tell me when the line up came out you expected that sort of showing?

Visible protest gets the media on the bandwagon, and it hopefully snowballs from there. Even a simple thing like fans not leaving the concourse til 5 mins in next week so Sky show a completely empty bowl would be massively ignored(not that ot would make Ashley quit like but would show fans are fighting together). Sadly for every active fan wanting to at least show some form of protest theres 10 happy to sit on their hands and continue to 'support the team' as anything involving effort isnt for them.

All this guff about 'dont do this it affects the players'.....if the crowd distracts them so much taking their seats after 5 mins of the game(rather than an hour of silence last night followed by quiet dissention/walkouts) then god help them.

St James' Park was a morgue last night so they probably didn't hear a thing on the pitch. You can't tell me you can't hear the moans and groans around the whole stadium at any given opportunity. I think Taylor went for a long ball at one point and Adebayor closed it down and it bounced back to Krul and people were going mental. There was situations like that throughout the game which were nothing basically and the crowd were getting on their backs. If Anita dwelled on it, or if Sammy didn't pass, or if Sissoko misplaced a pass or someone didn't dive into a tackle... 'Get into them, fuck them up' such a cringeworthy chant.

mrmojorisin75 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm at the point where I welcome the beatings we are getting. The only way out this is for Ashley to sack Pardew and for that to happen, we need to continue this rotten abysmal run we are on and for supporters not to turn up in significant numbers. With a decent manager in place, maybe we can at least enjoy the footy. After that there remains the Ashley problem but at least Pardew going would be a start. Totally agree. I'm at the point of wanting us to get beat every single game now. Last night I found myself wanting Spurs to get a 5th and 6th toward the end. Its the only way any sort of positive change is going to happen at the club. This is great, we can look even worse and stll have Pardew stinking up the place safe in his job. Aye sounds fucking ace that logic i don't know how i feel about "wishing" for defeats myself tbh, i don't myself however i certainly feel a sustained run of shitness is all that will see pardew away...seeing pardew away is step 1 in the change process for me really as regards him hanging on i'm not really so sure this time, we could realistically be looking at a very, very poor run to the end of the season and a finish out of the top 10 is very possible at this stage, i'm really not convinced he'll survive that this time after the amount of flannel he's given about the europa league being the excuse last year he's got literally nothing to defend him now in the eyes of ashley, maybe the sale of cabaye but if that's enough for ashley to accept how shit the man is then we all might as well pack it in now and save the money for our bairns to go along when ashley dies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Well, with the fans moaning on about the passback thing, well it was about the 5th/6th time the same pattern had happened to which spurs caught on to. i.e. Krul to Santon / Taylor, a few passes then back to Krul then long kick to no one. Like with all of our play last night, it was predictable with no cohesion so the fans were rightly getting annoyed by it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like with all of our play last night, it was predictable with no cohesion so the fans were rightly getting annoyed by it. It was slow, laboured and aimless in the main. Spurs were quick and slick with lots of movement and won the ball back off us very easily. Spurs corners got on my nerves. We kept everyone back inside our own 18 yard box for every corner so when we did clear the ball it just came straight back at us. Leave someone on the halfwayline to occupy their defenders and at least mean there is someone to aim at when the corner is cleared. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they were groaning in the first half when we were playing the ball to Anita, who would get closed down, back to Taylor who would pass to Williamson then Williamson would look up, see a Spurs player, crowd go mental, Williamson then just plays safe and goes back to Krul instead of forgetting about the crowd and just look for next pass to outfield player. Teams who pass it out are going to be closed down, be you just stay calm and collected and look for your team mate. We end up panicking and just going back to Krul and until we calm ourselves down, we are always going to be watching long ball after long ball. We manage to pass the ball well from the back away from home but there's no patience for it at home imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure you're right about those players coming back and saving him, he's back in the dark cave of insanity and fail from last season, the only teams we're likely to take points from are those that beat themselves.

toontenacity Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 So frustrating not knowing what outcome to want from our matches. Of course when we win I celebrated and am happy, but on reflection those victories just provide Pardew with a buffer following defeats like last night. Can't fully enjoy a victory but neither am I comfortable with us losing all our games from here to the end of the season. Argh this club! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there is a section that gets nervous when a player passes backwards, but that's because they don't see enough movement of players going forwards. There weren't many groans when SBR and Keegan had us passing it about were there? It's Taylor/Williamson though, we've hardly got two centre backs who are 'footballers' so to speak. It's not going to be pretty but they are still capable of getting the ball and passing it to the full back or someone who comes short, there's no harm in Anita picking it up then going back over and starting the move again. Was like when Toure for Liverpool gifted West Brom that goal other week. Rodgers just brushed it off and said it's not Toure's fault, i instruct him to pass it out, he may not be comfortable as most with it but it's the way we play and i want him to keep playing the ball out. That's the attitude it should be like. So what if a pass is misplaced or a player looks slow when passing it out, least he's looking to keep possession and not intending to be aimless and wasteful.
