Haydnator 45 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 IIRC the fans singing "you don't know what you're doing" at McClaren in the Bournemouth game when Dummett was subbed was because Perez went towards the dugout and people thought he was going off for Anita and not Dummett.

Howay 12447 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 McClaren really didn't know what he was doing though. Benitez sees things not working on the pitch and is willing to move players around and try and change the formation to exploit weakness, such as switching to two up top which allowed Cisse to occupy the CB's meaning Mitro got a favourable 1v1 on the back post against their fullback. McClaren generally kept the formation the same despite it not working and would have more likely than not subbed Mitrovic off for Cisse or Riviere and we would have lost.

scoobos 297 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Howay, don't disagree but he didn't change it to two up top, we started with that didn't we? Perez and Mitro. By the end it was 3 up top and everyone but Lascelles in midfield I think that's an excuse Haydonator, it pissed me off so much that at the time. If you were there though and Perez was doing that, fair enough, I only saw the TV angle. Edited March 21, 2016 by scoobos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12447 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Howay, don't disagree but he didn't change it to two up top, we started with that didn't we? Perez and Mitro. By the end it was 3 up top and everyone but Lascelles in midfield It was more Perez in the role that Wijnaldum is normally in with Wijnaldum and Shelvey behind him. Colback then went off for De Jong, Sissoko went to left back De Jong went to Perez's position (Attacking mid) and Perez moved out wide left. Townsend then came off for Cisse, Wijnaldum moved wide right, Cisse up top with Mitro and De Jong dropped to CM alongside Shelvey. Anita finally came on at RB for the injured Janmaat, so we ended in a 4-4-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26182 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Course not Aye, I found the timing very strange when I first saw it. Douglas hasn't been shy in the past though of giving you credit where it's due? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34168 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Didn't even have the sense to put it in the same table format that it was in when he stole it, to allow side by side comparison. Or possibly, he knew that would make it look even more like he stole it. What a bell either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've largely stopped using it since the Rafa appointment. I find it remarkable how much people defend Ashley and blame the negativity of fans for our performance. So I'm drinking the kool aid and giving 100% support after getting the sort of change we've lobbied for... until the next balls up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Muddy waters. I thought Townsend was the pick of our lot. Seen a lot of people say this. I spent the whole game laying into him. The example of his failure to pick up a man that led to their goal highlighted on motd2 was one of many instances where he looked miles away. Pleased he got 4 in the mirror. Thought it might have only been me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
