Guest makemeacupoftea Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Well how can we complain when Arsenal nearly got beat off Portsmouth? Must mean AW is a shit manager I have faith in Roeder and it's starting to pay off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Roeder, the great tactician, does it again. Duff with an assist. Or an assist of an assist. Result? Three points! OBA IS DA MAN! disagree with everything u said besides "OBA IS DA MAN" roeder is an idiot,we shouldve won this one easily but thank god they had hendrson on their side.. Duff did well just for that goal,he won't get the assist because he wasnt even aiming at martins OBA IS DA MAN!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Spurs have very poor away form and we should be looking to win that one. After we've beaten Chelsea of course. :winking: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Uninspiring victory, but that's probaly the best we're going to consistently achieve under Roeder. Woeful disjointed performance, there seems little idea of where each other is meant to be. I think you have to play Dyer in the middle. Butt has a lot more awareness and composure than Parker and I never thought I'd say that. On the plus side Oba knows where the goal is and for all his other failings, this is his main job and as long as he keeps scoring the rest doesn't really matter. Taylor awesome again. Mom for me Taylor Our worst player Baba only just from Sibi who for all his effort had a very average game. I would have preferred starting with Dyer just behind Oba and instead of Sibi. With Dyer and Emre rotating. Too many big kicks down the middle from Chez where 70% of the time it means immediate lost posession. Nice 3 points.

indi Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Pretty pissed off with their man obstructing the keeper for every corner like, cheating bastards. Yeah, me too, fucking ref should have done something about it and when it was obvious that he wasn't going to, we should have forced him to by "jostling" the Watford player so much that he had to step in, he'd never have had the balls to give a pen against us. That's what certain other teams with a bit of nouse about them do, it's what we should do too.

Guest nufc16 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 lots of the good times with bobby were filled with games like this, we've not had the individuals to win this kind of game since robert and shearer left in particular, but hopefully oba can fill that void. atm we need wins of any kind to get the confidence back and completely blow away any relegation fears. then we can hopefully start to perform better.

Ashley17 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 For me, as much as I love Sibi for what he's done since coming here, playing him today played into Watford's hands. Shittu beasted him in the air time and time again. Martins and Dyer up front would have meant we played it on the deck (in theory) and we would have had loads more chance of beating their defence with pace instead of flick ons, especially when Martins can't read flick ons at all. Still, shouldn't really complain at Roeder playing all 3, but surely 4-4-2 from the start would have been better, Milner on the left Dyer on the right and then if we needed to change it then we could have, instead we got that clusterfuck of a performance. Fuck knows what we'll put out against Chelsea...can't see Dyer playing 2 games in a week and I want him to play Spurs next Saturday but I also really want to go far in the Carling Cup. So who knows what we'll play, and for that matter who knows what Chelsea will play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Given - 7 - assaulted by Boazza for their goal. made some terrific reaction saves, though they probably looked better than they were cos he was a bit hesitant. Huntington - 6 - got beaten too easily in the first half, didnt offer much going forward. Babayaro - 7 - got beaten too easily in the second half, made some vital blocks, attacked as well as he ever has in the first half Taylor - 8 oustanding on occasion, though again the pace and agility of the watford attackers caused him some problems. Ramage - 7 sound Milner - 6.5 superb cross for martins, but otherwise he was hit and miss Dyer - 6 never got into it and couldve done a little better in good positions Emre - 8 excellent dribbling pushed the whole team upfield, maybe a bit too selfish, midfield was a mess for 10-15 mins after he left the pitch Butt - 8.5 possibly his best game for us, quick accurate passes, bringing wide players into the game, steady and assured Martins 9 - match winner! Sibierski - 6 poor by his recent standards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Martin Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Watford knew it would be difficult to beat an "in form" Newcastle on our own patch. They chose the phsical path and to be fair it nearly worked for them. We added to our own woes by a change in formation to accomodate players just coming back from injuries. This is the area that Roeder needs to get a pair of balls for. Have the strength to leave players on the bench so we can continue to play a successful 4-4-2.
