Neil Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Think you've been alright. Cabella looked very good, Riviere lively despite his traumatic finishing. What drugs is Colo on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 It's a lot better than I expected tbh. Definitely a good base to build from. Really worried about Colo though, he's doing really weird stuff. Not really, not for me anyway. We always play well against these at home but lose anyway. It's gone exactly as it usually does.

Minhosa Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Cabella has been good, but when we break he's being too slow. I dunno if it's cause he's not used to the pace of the Prem or what, but he's slowing our attacks down, more than helping them From training he's probably realised that Sissoko, Gouff, Colback etc are not exactly 'through the eye of a needle' type players.

Mick Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Our passing game gas improved, but losing that avoidable goal is probably crucial. Yes, Riviere is struggling on his own, but we do need to match them in midfield. We need a lucky break. Get used to that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 So irritating that we're not even that far off being a decent team. Makes Pardew so much worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Our biggest problem is the defence, we need new CB's and a defensive coach/ Pardew sacked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 It has been fairly promising at times, some of our ball movement has been decent but it has never been an area that matters. I'm still bemused how a manager can be here for so long and have a team that looks so uncomfortable in the final third. Anita has been fantastic.

The Prophet Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 We've not been too bad, our decision making has been pretty poor in the final third though. Almost like a side that practices attacking once a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 think siem will be vital in holding the ball up between midfield and the strikers, as we've snatched at half chances so far riviere just needs to get his head up when he's in a good position, as he's been a bit wild which is normal I guess when trying to impress Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I would understand us being over cautious and not throwing too many men forward with every attack, if i didnt know he would play the same way if we were playing Leicester City at home :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Logic Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Never getting enough in the box at any time isolating new guy Riviere and leading to hot-headed work from him. But that's a feature of Pardew all during his time here, never enough in the box, got to hold shape and be ready to defend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Need to bring Aarons on for Gouffran and Haidara on for Dummett imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I think the midfield is promising once De Jong and Tiote returns. But as we all know, there's a desperate need for a striker. It's gone as expected really, play ok and struggle to force the GK make saves but lose anyway. f*** Tiote. We don't need anyone that can't control and pass in midfield. Colback has made forward passes and moved into space more times in the first half than Tiote did for the whole of last season. Just meant in terms of options. I'd start Anita-Sissoko-De Jong with Cabella-Riviere-Aarons (if he keeps impressing) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OoOGazOoO Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Impressed with Cabella and Riviere. The latter has good strength, just needs more support up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Man, good to see Anita taking charge. He's actually telling the defenders where to pass the ball when we try to play it out. Making a big difference to the reduced hoofing. Be the first one off. I can't fucking take another season of his shit Motherfucker you got six more coming.

nufcjb Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Collback has been the ball winner in the middle for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still bemused how a manager can be here for so long and have a team that looks so uncomfortable in the final third. Anita has been fantastic. Hope you starting posting on here more regularly. I don't think Anita has quite been fantastic though although with Colback looking to break forward from deep he's got a lot of ground to cover.

chicago_shearer Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Want Aarons and or Perez. Will get Obertan and/or Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Same old story in defense, same old story with zero support for our striker in attack. Same old story with playing 10 men in our own half, too respectful but maybe to be expected against a superior citeh team that look up for it at least in defense. Dissapointing switch off from janmaat for the goal. We have looked slightly better than last season in general though with new signings looking decent and sissoko/Anita/Gouffran putting in decent shifts. Can see us picking up a few wins this season.
