ewerk 26192 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Yes, that's true but I said generally. People nag about our corners here and elsewhere every week. Yes our corners are crap but it's the least of our problems. Sunderland scored 6, West Brom 5 in the same period. It isn't something that takes days of practice every week and can be an important threat. For the small effort it takes it isn't difficult to plan correctly for corners rather than constantly waste them which is what we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Good movement and commit yourself to attacking the ball. Simple stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hostile_statue 0 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Corners can be a threat, but more often they're not. Based on statistics corners should be taken short.Rather good read about this and other football matters: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Numbers-Game-Everything-Football/dp/0670922242 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 How more obvious can the problems be.We have a right back who cannot defend.A left back who cannot defend.A central defender who cannot defend.You can give me tactics and formations and excuses till the cows come home but if you have defenders who cannot defend,you let in goals.Arron Hughes wasn't rated by the majority.Nick the Greek was another.Beresford was only average in his day.John Anderson was no world beater.Everyone i've mentioned were better defenders than what we have at the moment.Craig .Clark.Craggs.Howard.Kennedy.Wharton.Peacock.Howey.There must be hundreds out there who i've watched who were better.Burton ,Woodgate,John McNamee.Even Kenny Mitchell and to think we've bought Debuchy,the new Boumsong and Santon for decent money.If you were the opposition manager,would you say ` get at their defence ' or `don't get at their defence'.The world and his dog know what we are like at the back.Do you think Cardiff will defend this Saturday and take a point.Most fans are comfortable when their team are two goals up.I'm not because if the opposition get one,i expect us to concede at least one more .

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I've just checked our next 5 games and i predict we will concede a minimum 10 goals if we play Pardew's 3 favourite defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeris 0 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) What we need/has needed for ages is an foreign intelligent strategist who can work with little to no budget, and who speaks fluid French, along with Spanish and English. Who would be perfect for that job was Rudi Garcia who I suggested last season, and was at Lille soon to be out of contract, but then Roma came and grabbed him on the free this summer, and all our fuckin leadership could think about at the time was whether or not to give fucking inbred cockney called Joe Kinnear the job as DoF, after the season Pardew almost got us relegated. There's just nothing going on in the top of these guys heads... And look, who's leading Serie A now? Fuckin Rudi Garcia and Roma, all matches won so far, and their squad is not much better than ours... Edited October 3, 2013 by Aeris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeris 0 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) Yes there is. Money. Very shortsighted....Alan Pardew ain't exactly going to bring in buckets of money either. The below mediocre league positions he will give us if he stays would mean millions and millions lost in prize money, and his poor management that eventually has led to our players extremely low level of performance and morale is decreasing their price on the market and heavily reducing potential transfer income if they are to be sold. Having a manager who is popular, exciting, intelligent, who would actually be someone who you could believe would create miracles, would also make fans give more of a shit about the club, and bring more fans to our games and also help us gain new fans. And that's just some of the stuff. It's clear as day it would be a good economical investment to get someone like Rudi Garcia, rather than keeping shite like Pardew.

ewerk 26192 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 According to the Chronicle's future Pulitzer winner. Alan Pardew did NOT hold a post-game crisis meeting with Toon owner Mike Ashley last night – despite internet rumours that the Toon boss offered to resign after the 3-2 defeat against Everton. United sources have indicated the supposed offer did not take place on Merseyside. The Chronicle understands Pardew will remain as manager, despite the loss at Goodison Park and is eager to put things right for the next game at Cardiff City. And despite those reports, Ashley left Merseyside without speaking to Pardew after the game. But should Ashley decide to part company with the manager he handed an eight-year contract to only last year, he would have no option but to stump up a huge pile of compensation to the 2012 LMA manager of the year. Ashley would be likely to turn to Kinnear for a second stint as manager at St James’ Park. United have not commented on the internet rumours.

Howmanheyman 26625 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 The Chronicle understands Lee Ryder is NOT set for a transfer to the Guardian despite shining in his role for the Newcastle Evening Chronicle. Chronicle sources say Thomson House are determined to hold onto the journalist who tries to put a terrace ditty into his articles whenever possible or describe a person by some landmark or event linked to that person without mentioning their names where possible. But despite these reports it can only be a question of time before one of the big nationals come knocking for the once blonde, now bald, intrepid Tyneside based reporter. And despite his Editor bracing himself to receive a bid for his rising star who once liked a kick about himself, it may only be a question of when, not if, Ryder ends up in the smoke and guesting on 'hold the back page' on sky sports 1 on a sunday morning.

trooper 940 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 We all know it's just a matter of time but the worrying thing is who's next. Would Ashley really stoop so low and let JFK run the circus or do you think even he wouldn't chance that. I would imagine THAT would be the straw that breaks the camels back as far as the fans are concerned. But it is Ashley and so anything possible.
