KaKa Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Oh for fucks sake, we are a new team who are still learning, playing the most boring away team in the Premiership. Nothing is going to be perfect this season. In fact, I think this is the reality check some people needed. Exactly what he said the thing is, its the first home game of essentially a new era, and we play sloppy longball football. Its not like we tried to go forward and were stopped by an amazingly orginized villa side. the game plan we set out with was way too negative for the match. Believe or not our game plan wasn't negative. I think thats demonstrated by the fact that straight after the first whistle we drove forward and got a corner. It wasn't supposed to be a "negative" performance as you call it. Villa were very organsied and there wasn't a lot of space in midfield due to both teams playing 4 3 3. The midfield was far too crowded (not Big Sam's fault) for a game of open football and there wasn't much we could do about this, it was mainly down to Villa who were hardworking and organised. Don't forget they played very well at Liverpool last week, it's not as if we just failed to beat Derby or something. So many fans are giving knee-jerk reactions, after last week it was "we should be aiming for fifth", and now its "we can't even beat villa, we're a long ball team". Get a hold of yourself and give Sam the time he needs to do his thing. Amen! No one said we were defensive or boring last week did they. I honestly can't believe what I am seeing on here. After last season how people can even have the nerve to claim we were rubbish today is crazy! Things didn't come off for us today in the attacking areas and it was as simple as that.

Guest Guinness Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 It's one match! The players are new to the formation and the manager is new to the team. We have a lot of new players in the side too, things will take time to gel, one result isn't the end of the world. Some people need to calm down a bit.

I hope Ashley heard the booing and he up and leaves with Allardyce and they take over at Middelsbrough. That'll learn yous lot! That way we can get Warnock in or something ... it's truly what we probably deserve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Last week showed that we now have a hard working team who will do well away from home and won't be the pushover/joke of recent years. This week showed that we still do not have enough creativity and flair to be sure of doing so well at home. Hopefully that may make Allardyce target some flair before the window closes.

I'm happier with a point from a boring goalless draw than I was when we'd go out, get caught vulnerable on the counter, and concede against shit teams like we did under Roeder.

tmonkey Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Villa were an impressively solid outfit, good combination of high work rate, defensive strength, and pace. Im sure Allardyce fully well knows we need to play alot better than that, but the biggest problem he has is that this is not yet his team complete. Some of the players hes inherited simply arent suited to playing the system and formation that he prefers, and theres absolutely nothing that he can do about that in such a short space of time.

David Icke - Son of God Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Christ on a fucking crutch. Last week Allardyce was our saviour, now he's worse than scum. Some of you lot need to grow up and realise that this whole club has went through a massive period of change over the summer. For once, things off the pitch are looking brilliant and okay, we haven't had a good result or performance today but we've still managed to pick up 4 points from a possible 6. This season is transitional. It's all about consolidation and rebuilding. Anyone with half a brain can see that. Those who booed should've been dragged out the stadium by their lapels and shot with shit. It flies in the face of everything BSA has said over the past few weeks. We are not ran by a bunch of fuckwits anymore and i'm confident Sam will have seen what went on during the game and he'll have the lads on the training pitch on Monday working on sorting it out for Boro.

thedudeabides Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 About Allardyce's football driving fans away? Seriously, I'm racking my brains to think of a more boring game I've watched involving Newcastle. The midfield Allardyce has created was especially bad, defensively solid but showed naff all going forward. I seriously hope today was a one off and we don't keep playing this defensively, especially at home. You can't have been watching us for very long Mr. Kneejerk?
