Foluwashola Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Bemoaning the ref giving a reasonable amount of stoppage time. The plum spent the whole second half screaming at the ref and pointing at his watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Didn't realise the third goals was so shit. Shame it didn't go straight in. Didn't even show Krul's good save from Kelly (IIRC) at 1-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Third goal is defensive aids Colback for their second goal n all, not content with conceding the FK he gives it away again and then stands and watches Puncheon shoot instead of closing him down when he easily could have. First goal, Gayle is lying on the deck & still gets up to score and nee cunt is near Brylcream wetlook. Our defending is so, so bad for a team that seemingly spends no time practising attacking play.

Cronky Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I'm not sure why he dispensed with the Anita-Colback- Sissoko combination, which I think has looked promising. It was probably to accommodate De Jong in a new formation, but the defence looked exposed. As he admitted himself, he's still trying to get the right blend. I thought it was poor defending for the first two goals. Colo turned his back as he came out to try and block the first shot, and neither he nor Colback moved for the second.

MinnesotaMagpie Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 How sad not to walk away with 3 points against a club like Crystal Palace. We as a club are going nowhere but down. Nothing like having a football match ruin your weekend. I have no faith that we will turn things around. This sense of hopelessness is putting me off football all together.

merlin Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Watched the whole game more dispassionately than I ever have when NUFC are involved....only time I got really into it was when Aarons curled that shot into the post(unlucky not to score) but I thought it summed the game up when Williamson scored from the rebound. Unless he spends too much time with Pardew, Aarons has the makings of a very good player...pity he didn't have KK or similar in charge of his development. Poor performances from many players ; Cabella was very moderate although he did keep trying, de Jong invisible after that run into the box in the first half, Sissoko hopeless in that position, tries to beat players when a quick pass and move would be better and he holds up the flow of the game. Haidara was more involved in the game than most and kept attacking down the left side and he combined well with Aarons when he came on but Hiadara needs to work more on the defensive side of his game. Janmaat is fitting in quite well, looks a threat going forward but did leave gaps occasionally at the back....we would have lost if he hadn't scored that first half equalizer. Riviere will be lucky to score by Christmas in the current set-up and I have doubts as to whether he will get any assistance before January - can't see any signings today unless Ashley was as shocked as the rest of us by the appalling defending that lead to all Palace goals, but especially the 2nd and 3rd - Puncheon had enough time to write his name on the ball before he despatched it past Krul and at least 3 players - Colo, Colback and Janmaat - could be culpable for that as they were all close enough to have attempted a block or challenge. Dropping points at SJP to a moderate outfit like Palace(who did deserve something out of the game as they were the better side for the last 25 minutes , Aarons apart) does not augur well for future tussles and we could easily lose by 4 or 5 against the likes of Spurs or Chelsea. Once again, the club's parsimony - they have only spent the money they received for outgoing players - could come back to haunt them and this time it looks as if Pardew is not going to get the benefit of a good start ; lose to Saints and then to Hull at SJP and I cannot see how this total Gobsh-te can keep his job. As for implicating the crowd in losing the 3rd Palace goal(we were caught up in the crowd wanting a 4th), these are the comments of an idiot...perhaps he's forgotten what happened down at the Emirates when Arsenal's fans wanted THEM to go for a 4th against us...they got another 3 instead... Another dire season beckons under this Pinocchio double...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Why the f*** was Anita marking the man at the back post and Riviere marking thin air? f***ing asking for an equaliser. Anita told Riviere to mark him and he said nar. Saw it from the Gallowgate. f***ing ridiculous. This!! Was fucking horrible watching it all unfold knowing the potential outcome!

loki679 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 We need Anita in there imo. I love him, I think he's a cracking player but you only really tend to notice what he does so well when he's not there (like today). He keeps it simple but keeps it moving, usually forward, and his natural movement means there's always an option on in midfield for a pass. He just kind of ties the whole thing together for me acting like a lynch-pin in the middle that we can rotate around. We do have a bit of a problem in that area in that neither Vurn, Sissoko or De Jong, who I consider our best 3 for the midfield with De Jong furthest forward behind the striker, are particularly creative and Riviere isn't mobile or creative enough to play the lone striker role and bring others into play. Every time I try and pick our best 11 I come to a 4-3-3 but struggle to find a place for De Jong (assuming we buy another creative CM). For me it'd be Vurn sitting deep with Sissoko as a box to box and our new creative CM at the tip of the midfield 3 and Perez up front with HBA and Cabella either side of him. De Jong can fill that role at the tip but it's not one he's particularly suited for. Could work if HBA and Cabella are given license to move into the centre depending on which area of the pitch play is moving in. If the ball's on the left then HBA move into the AM slot and Janmaat push on for width and vice versa with Cabella and Haidara if we're playing up the right.
