Gallowgate Toon Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I know people want to see more attacking football but I just don't think we've got the defenders. Reckon our best hope is to ditch trying to pass and just grind the shit out of games until January and get a proper centre back in (fat chance) and a centre mid that knows how to shield defence that isn't a midget. First half was shit, too many players looked scared and didn't take responsibility. Played 4-3-3 in the first but we were too congested with Thauvin and Perez dropping inside a lot (and neither are quick to go on the outside), the lack of space totally nullified Wijnaldum and Sissoko, and Cisse was his current shit self. The 4-2-3-1 opened up some of the pitch for Wijnaldum in the second and Sissoko out wide pinned them back and he caused more damage there but it just wasn't enough. We're missing presence up top, badly, and presence at the back. I don't like Tiote but, Christ, he'd do a better job than Colback and Anita at protecting our joke of a captain from shitting himself. The players' attitude in the first worried the shit out of me, hardly any backbone between them. I don't know where you go from here, really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm coming home on Wednesday & going to the match: enthusiasm just dropped-off a cliff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 It is quiet worrying that again De Jong was very little involved. He made nice touches and played few brilliant passes, but very quiet game again for him. Would be nice to see him play a game where we aren't already losing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Wtf was Haidara doing for their first goal? Kick it out or kick it up the line, no, try and play it infield and leave us horribly exposed for no good reason. I've just got back and could go through almost every thread on here and find legitamate reason to slag us off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 It was so frustrating to watch us supposed to be pushing the ball forward, pressuring their defense, especially in the last 15 minutes or so, and Memba has the ball and he's just dribbling it in our own half, looking up for a pass, and every fucker is just standing there waiting for the ball. We have the worse off the ball movement of any team in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 First half was abysmal. 2nd half we at least had a bit of a go. We're in deep shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 We should have had two penalties today mind. 2?? I can remember a shout for one in the 2nd half on Ayoze but at the time I thought he'd just stood on the ball. Was the first one in the first half on Cisse where the ball ended up trickling towards the goal line? That was more of a shout to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st half was worse than anything served up by pardew and Carver by some distance, absolutely abysmal. 2nd half was better but we lack pace and penetration, we're pedestrian and predictable.
