Newcastle 3 - 3 Crystal Palace - 30/8/14 - Post match reaction from p. 42


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

:lol: It's fucking hilarious how you're still taking him seriously.

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.

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......
