    Think by the time he processed that Torres hadn't got to the ball it was too late for him to keep it in, so he ended up looking a bit silly.

    Terry again getting his shoulders over Williamson. Come on Mike, they're trying to win for you mate - do your part!

    In many ways Tiote is playing like the Tiote of old. Not quite as effective at breaking up play but well positioned and smart with his passing.
  4. OTF
    There was another where Tiote was shoulder to shoulder with their player (possibly Mata). Their player went to ground and for no reason as defined by the rules 'won' a free-kick.

    Santon has had a poor start.

    Bullshit soft going to the ground by a number of Chelsea players now. What's most annoying about it is that they're getting home referee treatment from the officials.
  7. OTF
    When they're in our box with the ball it seems like it's only a matter of time before there's a mistimed challenge that will result in a penalty.
  8. OTF
    Weak defending from Williamson on Terry for that corner. We got lucky in that Terry's header wasn't on target - hopefully it also peps Williamson up to be more physical wen required.
  9. OTF
    Reasonable run of possession there.

    Is there any chance that Ameobi's inclusion in the first 11 is anything but confirmation that it's hoofball tactics?
  11. OTF
    Tiote's looking slim. Looks nothing like the picture on his licence.

    There's clearly an us vs them mentality that Ashley is breeding.

    Interestingly Pardew mentioned Mike Ashley in pre-match interview saying that would be good for the club and for Mike if they won as they've been getting unfair criticism. "...if you get a great win today?" Pardew: "No I just think it would be great for.. For Mike and for the club and for everybody today if we could win because we're getting a fair bit of criticism some of it undeserved in my opinion"

    We play better against teams that play football. We do better when the expectations are low. Wishful thinking.

    Let's get ready to rumble.

    Giving him a little too much credit in regards to offside I'm afraid. He often doesn't come back onside. Generally you excercise a plot like that when your team has possession but not near enough that they can pass the ball. It does put the defender in two minds as they'll instinctively want to be goal side.
  17. OTF
    Doesn't mean he's not standing in offside positions on plenty of other occassions, just that noone's passing to him when he is.
  18. OTF
    Yeah, Cabaye actually has some character. It might not be particularly good character when his back is against the wall but it's better than having none like plenty of others in the team..
  19. OTF
    More likely that he's toeing company line, though it's not like there isn't already plenty of fuel on the fire of Ashley's discontent with Pardew and vice versa.
  20. OTF
    Yes. Is that what you wanted me to say? Straw man.

    In comparison to some of our other players Tiote did ok. Still wanted too much time on the ball, but played his position which is half the battle with him post season one.
  23. OTF
    Which is exactly my point. That's one thing that Pardew can't be blamed for.
  24. OTF
    What are you saying? You'd rather Dummett and Williamson?
  25. OTF
    He plainly isn't a very good manager, nor an intelligent man. But is there a better feasible option out there given our current owner? The point regarding our defenders is that we should have invested in our defense (eg. Douglas) as it was an obvious weak point. The gambling man who controls the purse strings (and tbf owns the purse) isn't interested in contingencies as for him survival is an adequate result.
