The Fish 10970 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 You know, upon reflection I think if I had been in Pardew's shoes I would have recognized Perch's frailties at right back and given Tavernier a start in that position and put Perch where he plays best. I would have played Cisse in front, not that lethargic Stroller. I would have had Obertan off earlier and put Fergusan on. Don't think I would have started Obertan. Sannton and Fergusan might work together better. You would have played an inexperienced 21 year old in a hotch-potch defence against arguably the best flank in the Premier League? Shola played up front because they'd prepared all week with Cisse wide and Ba in the centre, Pardew said as much. Obertan was looking decent going forward and was causing their fullbacks problems, Ferguson hasn't impressed in the chances he's had this season. Santon's big problem was His positional sense, not sure how having another young lad with no positional sense would help. Sorry Noelie, with all due respect that's nonsense.

Kid Dynamite 7174 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 For me last night provided the worst moment of the season. We're playing Everton at home we go 2-1 down, there's 30 minutes to play and there's a total resignation from all of the players that we've lost the game. Fucking pathetic. To make matters even worse he takes off our fastest player for a defensive midfielder, I'm not saying Obertan was amazing, but he wasn't the worst. The fans are arseholes too booing Ranger on, it wasn't many but enough to be audible. I hate fucking Everton too, complete scruffs who are beyond comparison in this country, and that really is not being harsh. The 6 minutes injury time, for a team a goal down, at home, was some of the least urgent football we had played all game. It was disgusting. As was sholas reluctance to even think of going for a ball not passed directly to his feet/chest. If he was foreign he'd be thought of in the same vein as Pistone and Andreas Andersson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An injury after 30 seconds could have changed how we were set up. That was a shit reason from Pardew. Cisse must have been on a high hearing he's our main man now , only to be told Shola is actually starting up front and he gets to graft on the wing again. He must think why he fucking bothers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean an injury after 30 seconds could change the way we were set up, or could change the way they set up, so lets not bother.

Pardew thought he was pulling a master stroke and it didnt work, hence him running around today promising Cisse will now start every game down the middle.

His inability to adapt to changing situations throughout games is part of the reason we have so few points Edited January 3, 2013 by TheRollingStones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that because the match thread, to a man, wanted Cisse up front prior to the team being announced. No one got derided for being mental for suggesting that Btw, what stopped us sticking to the same plan with Cisse through the middle? A change is a change, whether its Cisse for Ba or Shola for Ba. Or do you need 3 days to mentally prepare to play in a certain position these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is surely that the way the team plays with Shola up front is closer to how they play with Ba up front than the way they play with Cisse up front? That the way they've been playing with Cisse out wide is closer to the way they played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7174 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 The way that hasn't worked for 11 games you mean? Cos playing with Cisse up front in a 3 man attack didn't work in just about every game he played there? 13 goal in 15 wasn't it. Why are you defending the indefensible? Pardew made another tactical cock up and his excuse is bullshit. They are professional footballers, they can take on changes in instructions if needed. If Cisse was told the play through the middle he wouldn't have found himself subconsciously on the right wing chasing after Perchs man all day wondering 'what the fuck happened here, my head hurts' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10970 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Fuck Realise that if CT is agreeing with you, you must have strayed from safety? Just my last two penneth on this. IU understand why Pardew stuck with a system he'd been spending the time between Arsenal and now preparing for. I'm sure if Ba was a done deal sooner he'd have changed things up.

Kid Dynamite 7174 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 And my point stands that the only person in the ground that wanted to see Shola up front instead of Cisse last night was Pardew. And Moyes of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 22002 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 He came close to scoring, and scored our last winning goal. Wish the fuck he had, not least to shut up the dickheads that spend the whole match slagging off. I particularly love the accusation he is lazy. Seriously man, have a word.

McFaul 35 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 He's a lazy cunt. Hands on hips the whole time, and he's the one playing centrally so he has to move off the ball, but he just won't. Sick of him me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
