Ayatollah Hermione 14069 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The fact we didn't change fucked us. Was suicide playing the high line against West Brom and it knackered us today. Long balls played right into their hands and we lost the middle when Baird came on and pressed Guthrie out the game. He's not as good in tight corners as Tiote and it really showed. Gosling and Perch aren't any better sadly but moving HBA into the middle sooner may have given Guthrie a closer outlet so he wasn't caught as much. Shola needs to be dropped, is no good when he's assured of a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7496 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Andy Johnson is the anti-striker's striker, but we should be capable of handling that, tactically it's not hard to make the adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 7496 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Don't think lovelyhands is fit or the answer as much as he's not a bad player. Sooner see Vuckic up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Arfa as no.10, Ryan Taylor out wide right. Lovenkrands is a possible option for Brighton though since he's bascially a Championship player.

Phil 6 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Realistically, is there ANYONE else we can put up top instead of Ameobi before Ba/Cisse are back? Best does a lot of running, so i'd just play five in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Realistically, is there ANYONE else we can put up top instead of Ameobi before Ba/Cisse are back? Lovenkrands. I'd even rather a 5 man midfield, or playing Ben Arfa behind Best and Ryan Taylor on the right. Shola contributes less than nothing and what I mean by that is he loses us possession anytime it comes to him, the phase of play where he was stood offside and Ben Arfa won the ball from a fulham player only to have an offside Shola run over and take it off him was laughable. I'd like to see the stats of Shola's last 2 performances tbh be interesting to see how many fouls/offsides and incomplete passes he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonotl 3116 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Best up top. Ben Arfa on the left. Guti in between the lines and Ryan Taylor on the right. Pity Marveaux isn't fit. Would be handy right about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyff 0 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 It is just the lack of effort from Shola. Even someone running at the defence when they have the ball would do a better job, just because it adds a bit more pressure and then maybe gives the option for someone else to exploit that.

Howay 12496 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I love that this place is rammed with mackems btw. They've won this afternoon and their first port of call is a Newcastle forum. The chip on their shoulders will feel a little bit lighter tonight. They'll have a cheesy chip and blue panda pop party the night, complete with a spread of microwave meals from Iceland. This is a definite occasion for them to crack out the white lightening for. Then off to bed for a wank over a picture of Martin O'Neill and his lazy eye shaking 'Quinny's' hand.

Noelie 103 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I may sound like a broken record, but I really have to question Pardoo's tactical forte. 4 - 1 down and he puts Gosling on for Cabaye, Perch on for Guthrie, and Raylor on for Best. Was his tactics meant to enhance our attack and score goals, or keep it from being a cricket score? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
