Dr Gloom 20234 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 That was a woeful performance. Not quite as inept as last week at City but doesn't bode well for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 15022 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 they do, we'll scrub that from the 0 shots on target in 90minutes what about the 0 shots on target in the other 89m20seconds We're properly fucked this season if we don't get someone putting it in the net soon. Anyway Maldini, instead of pissing and moaning like a girl, why aren't you playing today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, 12 goals conceded in our last 3 home games. Now that was worrying. Chill the fuck out folks, its bad and could get worse, but ffs, we're 2 games in just.

Andrew 4297 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Come on Andrew, you're slagging people off for being concerned after watching that game? Totally agree with what Ant says in his latest post. Who am I slagging off? I'm disagreeing with people for what I see as an over the top reaction to a draw.

Tooj 17 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 They set up for a draw and got it. Did it not concern you how yet again at home we looked shocking in terms of chance creation? Yes we need new signings but even with those players I don't have confidence in the manager to get the team to create anything and even look like a unit when it comes to going forward.

Odin 0 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 It's an end of season slump that's continued into this season.. Not in any way surprised. The manager is clueless. The Director of football is a fucking imbecile. The owner couldn't care less. A real recipe for success isn't it. It's gotten to the point where I'm wanting to see them lose so Pardew can't wax lyrical about a hard earned point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToony 41 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) Who am I slagging off? I'm disagreeing with people for what I see as an over the top reaction to a draw. If this were a "one off", as you said in a previous post, I would agree with you. But this is what we've seen last year and in preseason thus far. But unfortunately, those of us who have watched most of the games the past few seasons know it is the norm.

I get the impression that one of Pardew's limitations is that he thinks that if he picks the right players, he can send them out there without much instruction? It seems that he'd pick Tiote because Tiote can play the defensive role, but he won't drill it into Tiote that this is the limit of his role & he shouldn't try passes over 10 yards. He'd pick Cabaye because Cabaye is a good player and has an eye, but he won't drill players how to move to get the best from Yohan. and so on and so forth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when he says "stand in a 442 formation" half of the players does literally just stand there without a clue how to move or where to lay the pass. It's like he's doing less of a job than someone who sets the tactics in a football manager game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4005 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Absolutely shocking home display. Lots wrong from top to bottom but this squad of players should be able to muster up a better display than this. Pardews departure is long overdue.

I was talking about the game in general, in reaction to your statements about how the "over-the-top" reactors must have not seen what you did, which was a NUFC that "didn't play that bad".

Ausman 0 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Thought the midfield did okay today, just that final third we seem to be shit at. doesn't Pardew work with the forwards at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Ive been saying it since last October so what do you expect? Fuck knows who will come in but it's clear as day that he can't change anything. I don't disagree that it all seems fucked now but Id still prefer some fucker with an inkling and some guts to come in and stir things up. Poyet, Hoddle, Macis fucking Riley!

The overall performance was so poor today I think it's wasteful discussing individuals too much. That said I thought Anita and Sissoko didn't really take the opportunity given to them. However, what instructions they were given re safety first could have made a difference. Pardew seems to stifle individual performances IMO.

It clearly seems to be a marriage of convenience these days and the sooner the divorce comes through the better. Last season killed off any glimmer of positivity.

Dr Gloom 20234 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I'd love a better manager than pardew. But honestly, what makes anyone think Ashley will bring in anyone better?

Pardew seems to stifle individual performances IMO. It was the same as last season...in the first half HBA and Sissoko were making decent breaks with no support or movement ahead of them, They cant do it alone though, they need options once they've carried the ball into the final third. We don't have the players with enough clever movement, or players who are able to spot a teammate making decent break and are willing to support it. Second half changes were reasonable, they came for a draw and would have won if Nolan hadn't missed a sitter..again..he did the same at Upton Park last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13919 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I think a better manager would do better than Pardew but that coin has two sides and a worse manager would do worse. I think a better player than Ben Arfa.... Blah Blah, football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I was really disappointed with Marveaux today like. Yet again he never stamped his authority on a game, thought him playing the David Silva type role was perfect for him as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley's not going to bring in a better manager than Pardew but it doesn't mean Pardew should get off lightly for how dreadful we've been over the last 12 months or so.
