Kanji Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Pretty mad that PL didn't allow us to move kickoff back 15 fucking minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Neville summed it up pretty perfectly when he said that the midfielder neither creates anything nor stops counter attacks. It's completely redundant at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Neville summed it up pretty perfectly when he said that the midfielder neither creates anything nor stops counter attacks. It's completely redundant at the moment. Think it was Dave yesterday, said our defence, midfield and attack are always anonymous together, we never have a strong section of the team to rely on. It's insane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Wijnaldum, and optimistically Tiote, are the only players who can put their stamp on the midfield. At least one of them needs to play. I love Anita as a player but him and Colback together isn't going to work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Strange that our centre halves are probably the strongest part of our team atm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Wijnaldum needs to see more of the ball and he won't do that in the posision he plays now. Needs to play deeper. This is so obvious. Another thing, we're too direct when we go forward. Nobody can rest on the ball and have others get into position or come forward other than Perez. Sissoko is always looking to go to the byline, Cissé is too weak to hold it up, Wijnaldum looks for quick solutions. We end up trying to penetrate with one or two players all the time. Still not worried after last night, we'll be fine, we have the right ideas. Need to gel and to adjust the team a bit. Colback or Anita needs to sit the next one out, Colback for me. Get Gini down deeper and play Ayoze from the start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Gini down deeper and play Ayoze from the start. Voice of reason Alan. Your words ring true (we all hope), I will give my heed a shake and look forward to playing Watford, Sheff Wed, Norwich, and Stoke at home and our annual wade through the silt into the Palladium of Sheeeite. Not bothered about the other two games, but by end of October here's to an additional 10 points and the fourth round of the COC (fingers crossed).

triggs Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Watched some highlights now. Obviously not anything like watching the whole game but from what I saw, Colback and Anita both at fault for the first goal but also a great finish by Payet who seems a great player from what I've seen this season. Wijnaldum also wasn't great in the build up to that goal being very weak in the challenge. Janmaat got turned very easily for another chance and should have scored as well but fair play to him for getting into that position. Another counter attack then with our two "sitting" players both in the opposition penalty area for some reason. You can complain about Sissoko all you like but he ran about 70 yards at full speed to get back for that counter while most of our players jogged back slowly. Next another counter attack that led to the second goal. Awful ball in, then poor from Anita after the initial shot hit the bar. Then the Janmaat chance, good play by Sissoko and a decent shot by Janmaat from a difficult angle. As we all knew the midfield partnership isn't good enough and I'm not sure either of them are good enough even alongside a better player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Neville summed it up pretty perfectly when he said that the midfielder neither creates anything nor stops counter attacks. It's completely redundant at the moment. Which midfielder was he talking about? Or was he just talking about the midfield in general? All of them. Specifically, all of CM's (including Wijnaldum). Showed their pass maps. Showed how we looked liable to get hit on the counter. So they don't protect the defence. They don't create anything. As a unit, they don't do anything.

triggs Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Just watched this. Krul- Some shite kicking but didn't have much to do Janmaat-our best player probably and best attacker until Ayoze came on. Colo and Mbemba-both solid enough with some bad passes on the ball but happy enough with these. Haidara-actually seems to have improved defensively but needs to learn how to cross. Anita and Colback- If I see this partnership again I'll stab myself in the eyes Sissoko- Ran himself into the ground for 60 minutes, then got tired and only featured from time to time. His passing actually got better when he slowed down near the end due to tiredness Thauvin- Shit performance, hopefully a one off. Doesn't have much raw pace as others and myself mentioned previously Wijnaldum- Poor until moved deeper where he looked way more comfortable Cisse- Bad but no poacher in the world could score in our team Perez- Very good, has to start from now until the end of time/when he moves to a good team De Jong- Not as impressed by him as others seemed to be, some nice touches but seemed a bit timid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Just watched this.

Colo and Mbemba-both solid enough with some bad passes on the ball but happy enough with these. Haidara-actually seems to have improved defensively but needs to learn how to cross. Anita and Colback- If I see this partnership again I'll stab myself in the eyes Main problem for our lack of attacks Sissoko- Ran himself into the ground for 60 minutes, then got tired and only featured from time to time. His passing actually got better when he slowed down near the end due to tiredness Thauvin- s*** performance, hopefully a one off. Doesn't have much raw pace as others and myself mentioned previously I thought he did well in the furst half, covered a hell of a lot of ground, not very effective attacking tho' Wijnaldum- Poor until moved deeper where he looked way more comfortable Cisse- Bad but no poacher in the world could score in our team problem with system (and his first touch) Perez- Very good, has to start from now until the end of time/when he moves to a good team De Jong- Not as impressed by him as others seemed to be, some nice touches but seemed a bit timid Agree with most of this, and as far as the forum goes; I think we have all stated what Gary neville did in the aftermatch, so he ain't really this genius everyone tries to make out. Gary, come and get a few lessons from us mate!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
