Sissoko was crap, for the sixe of the bloke he is weak as muck on the ball ...phhh!

Liked colback, remy, aarons, riviere. Thought defence loojed shaky all way through, dummet is frickin secon division at best for fricks sake...

Riviere did whjat he could byut Krul's preference to thinp it long di us no good.

Painful to watch to be honest. Masn city strolled it.

Apathetic about how anyone on this whole friggin board can back the wide boy fraud that manages our team. Fell sick. Rant over!

Fair enough, we looked good and probably did deserve something from the game, but people (not on here) are going on like we've won a cup. It's the opening game of the season. We lost 2-0. Just incredible.

 

Not really, all I'm seeing is people saying some of the individuals showed some promise.

 

That's all.

Well there are some fairly certain but early conclusions that can be drawn. Colback is the least of our problems. We need to play three in central midfield. Defensively we are still crap and need to buy a minimum of three defenders who would start to change that. If you have no shots on target you will never score. There are no where near enough goals in the squad.

A decent CB, reintegrate HBA and sign someone like Remy and I would actually be quite optimistic. However none of these are likely to happen meaning the King's 48 point target might not be too far off what we get.

Krul - 7 - learn to kick please

 

Janmaat - 6.5 - mixed bag, but looks like a player

Williamson - 7 - okay

Coloccini - 6.5 - very good, but poor on the first goal

Dummett - 6 - bang average as per

 

Anita - 6 - disappointing in the main

Colback - 7 - impressive, industrious, economical with the ball

 

Gouffran - 6.5 - best game in ages but so painfully average on the ball

Sissoko - 5 - frustrating, erratic

Cabella - 7.5 - pick of the bunch. Will be a great signing

 

Riviere - 6 - flashes of inspiration, good work rate

 

Obertan - 6 - okay

Aarons - 5.5 - few glimpses but ball retention poor

Ayoze - 6.5 - nice cameo and unlucky not to score

 

Let's not get carried away, was a decent performance but we didn't bother attacking til the final 15 minutes and we barely threatened the goal bar Perez's shot.

 

All in all, hard to be massively pissed off at this result, a few positives, but nothing to get excited about as per.

At least we were not hoofing it.

We need a Remy Ba sort of striker or we would struggle all season to score goals.

 

The new players Jack and Cabella has helped alot with ball possession, no fear to pass forward and dribble the ball when its tight. 

Riviere looks very capable to play on his own which is crucial for Pardew style of play. Doesnt look like a goal scorer though.

Nah. Plenty of people are definitely getting ahead of themselves. "Pardews Black & White Army!", and so on.

Another gallant defeat to Man City - the habit continues. Thought we played well, but the extra class told in the end. We desperately need another experienced striker in, as Riv still looks very green (though he looks powerful and has a good touch) He lacked support though, which was down to Pardew's 3 man midfield.

 

Season has to start next week - having a good go at Man City is all very well and good, but it needs to be the same against the rest. I'm not convinced that will happen under this manager. #pardewout.
