BillClinton Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 well the good news is that last season we started out by losing to City and followed it up with a scoreless draw.. So we're right on track to finish 10th again! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Cabella cant beat a man. This is worrying. Meh, he didn't have much trouble with his dribbling against City so I don't think it'll be too much of a problem. Just had to get used to the physical nature of playing here, we'll play more defences like Villa rather City so he'll now know what to expect, in terms of physicality. Teams like Villa will always double up on him, in which case he will need other players to move around. Good luck with that Remy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkwdavis2001 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Boring game but I still have hope for this season (we're only 2 games in FFS) - We all know we are lacking a proven goalscorer but we had decent chances today, away from home and we bossed the game from start to finish. Bring in a decent striker and we'll be a top 10 side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Jong seems like he can think for himself and will move a bit, that's the only hope though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkwdavis2001 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Bossed. Are you saying we didn't? Just look at the stats: 60% possession, 11 shots with 4 on target (versus 9 with 0 on target). I'd say that we comprehensively outplayed Villa and most of the write ups I have read concurr. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 A few folk today saying to me "at least we didn't lose". Ah aye, fair point. It's the taking part that counts, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cf Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 "At least we didn't lose."?? We were playing Aston Villa who have finished in the bottom 5 for the last 3 seasons ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Only the three relegated sides conceded more goals last season than Villa did, and only the mackems, Cardiff and Fulham had worse home form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 "We want to be challenged. We want to be pushed to the maximum. We don't want people happy just to see the team drawing away from home. If you don't get positive results, you're going to get that sort of reaction, but we welcome that, we want to strive for the best, we know we're in the best league in world football, so we welcome that expectation."

Yorkie Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 That was a thoroughly depressing preview of what is to come if we don't sign a proper striker. Riviere and Perez might be decent young talents but there's no way we should be relying on them, especially if the manager continues to isolate them. Perez looks the better player from what I've seen so far but we need someone else. Thought we were wank, personally. Four years and still not a semblance of an attacking gameplan. Point on the board though and the lads probably will take encouragement from it, even if the same issues were showing. Another group of players looking disjointed and unthreatening Colback was our best player for the second game in a row, incidentally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started to get annoyed towards the end of the second half that I woke up for it. Went back to bed afterwards. Last time I get up that early on a Saturday morning to watch Pardew ball. No point.
