Pata Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Think we managed ourselves well for an away team closed them down well in midfield where we won a lot of second balls but our defending at set pieces was a bit dodgy. Our counterattacking play was as clinical as the Swansea 3-0 away win two seasons ago with Remy, Sissoko ,Gouffran and DJ linking well. My MoTM is Krul for that double save although Sissoko, Tiote and Anita deserve a lot praise for their effort in midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 To be fair to DebuchyAndTheBeast, we all know how wank Pardew's NUFC team is at coming from behind to win. That save at 0-0 was absolutely crucial. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but knowing us we never seem to win from a losing position. Producing a double save as good as this is a psychological hit to the other team. Maybe not a coincidence at all that we went on to score at the other end Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Spark Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Great to see the midfielders getting into the box today. They should do that more often. It's not rocket science. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I said pre match we should be beating these. It's all about the mentality of the squad. He can shut up about the lack of passing in this team; I hope the players took slight in that and showed themselves. In a team with Remy, Sissoko, Anita, and Tiote we should be able to control the games and counter and score. Add in Colo, MYM when with Willo, and Krul for most part and we should always be beating these lower clubs. It's all mentality and if we're not on; it's over from the get-go.

TRon Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 There were some good signs today and Pardew as a manager did well incident aside.

Mattoon Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Rather at odds for giving Pardew his credit for setting a team up the way we've all wanted all year, but he's finally done it, will he learn from it though or tinker? Great performance all round, Anita bosses the midfield, it was good Pardew recognised how well he did when Tiote went off last week and started this game with him going forward instead of Tiote. Best movement off the ball we've had all season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, probably the same knackers who've been wanting to have Yanga-Mbiwa playing for weeks instead of Taylor sacrificing goals by the bucketful. Idiots.

He didn't pull everybody back behind the ball when we took the lead for once and we won comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 As previously it just makes you wonder why the performances are so staggeringly inconsistent. I know the players themselves are inconsistent and so is the opposition but the workrate, pressing, passing and movement today was lightyears ahead of some of the shite we've served up in recent weeks. We attacked them at pretty much every opportunity and got the rewards. The squad clearly isn't good enough but there's enough quality there to deal with most teams in this league. It can only be a mentality/tactics thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats him setting up a team up to counter attack (very well in this instance) and persevering with the tactic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Pleased we did so well, shame we had to have that incident to detract from it. Was sure the Villa result would boost us, but also well done to Pardew for his approach today. Except his approach to that dude's head obviously.
