Howmanheyman 27053 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 The match itself, we controlled the game with that set up but sacrificed a target man in the box for good possession and it worked until the sending off. I'd love to see us buy/promote a player from within who can attack any ball in the air for both attacking and defensive duties. Chuffed for Dummett, would've liked to see Moussa show a bit more bite and aggression in his game. What's going to happen defensively for the derby?

Ausman 0 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Well that was a great performance from us, all things considered. Thought we were the better team really, expected a thrashing from Liverpool. Have to say the Boys did really well. Tiote seems to be coming back to the player we saw when he first arrived well, took the responsibility of Captain well. Very pleased with Drummet scored a goal and played well.

Tom 13883 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I think Tiote was quite lifted by the captains armband - brilliant decision from Pardew in retrospect - because it baffled me initially. Â It's nice to have a little bit of rotation with Tiote and Anita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmondTUTU 0 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Tiote seems to have dropped the Mr T attitude a little as well. It's good when used at the right time but not diving in every 5 seconds. Maybe the witch doctor spell ran out or summit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADP 0 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Has there been any news about Colo's injury with regards to how long he may be out? I know it is a groin injury but time out can often fluctuate from days to months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also needed to ditch the Hollywood shit as he's best at winning the ball and distributing it to a player better placed to stimulate the attack.

What was our possession with 11 men, because it was shit overall. I actually don't think the red card affected us negatively much because Sissoko was awful and Drummet was an improvement over Mbiwa. Thought a draw was a fair result overall but really pleased with the passion and commitment we showed. Special mention for Goufran, what a shift he put in.

BigWalrus 0 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Yep, Tiote was great today. 92% pass completion, which is impressive considering how often he was on the ball.

He also needed to ditch the Hollywood shit as he's best at winning the ball and distributing it to a player better placed to stimulate the attack. He really impressed today, I think it was his best game since possibly the 3-0 over Man U in 2012. The play where he overpowered Moses (I think) in the centre circle before surging forward was great, unfortunately he decided to take a shot when he had Ben Arfa moving wide of him as a good option if he slowed a little. Apart from that one mental ball where he hit sturridge he kept his passing simple like he used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says 76% on the Sky app, versus 87% for Liverpool, which feels about right to me. Got a feeling that we looked better on TV than in the flesh, because I think some of the comments on here are ott. Mind, glad I missed that BT coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelie 103 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Well worth getting up at four thirty in the morning. Was convinced we would lose but what a brilliant result. When we went down to ten men I knew we would lose, joke was on me. Pardew made 2 mistakes, he put BenArfa in the middle and left him there too long. Welcome back Tiote.

aimaad22 3473 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Missed the game.Seems like everyone put in a great shit and its a point I would have gladly taken before the match, let alone with 10 men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Wonder what the result would've been had we kept 11 men on the pitch? Â Have to take a point, but it's more comforting that we put in a shift defensively against one of the in-form offences in the league - with Williamson at the back. Â Hopefully this is a good boost to team morale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13883 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Â Hollywood Tiote. That goal against arsenal did him more harm than good. Â It did aye. I'd love to see the stats but for all the shots I can remember him having he's got shots against Arsenal and Wigan on target. Â It's not so much the shooting as the ridiculous passing he was trying. 35 curling through balls over the top or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13883 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Debuchy my man of the match today - he was everywhere - but both full backs were superb. It's nice to see them showing their obvious class and I hope it continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 14652 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Comfortable win for them I reckon, I think Remy aside we're struggling up front and we're unconvincing at the back. Â They will tear us a new arsehole without a doubt. Could easily be as bad as last season. Everton 1st half shows we are still an embarrassment at the back. These have been beat at home by Southampton and only got a point at Swansea. Don't believe the hype.A lot of their victories have been quite narrow. We've played two really poor halves of football all season (Everton and Hull) where we really didn't deserve fuck all. The rest have been mostly competent. We need to score first though to stand any chance of winning this. Confidence is a bit fragile at the best of times, and we're missing Colo. We'll see.

Tom 13883 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I predicted Yanga-Mbiwa's red card but also thought we'd get beat - so hats off Sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
