Noelie 103 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Heartbreaking! And to make it worse Blunderland won and moved above us. Not a game I had any expectations of winning but for periods of time hopes were high and it was more than disappointing that we couldn't have hung on for at least a draw, we deserved it after that performence. So close and yet so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4725 Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 We should also have had 2-3 top class players in 4 months ago but that didn't happen either. Â One Pardew couldnt do anything about, the other he could. Â Lets not spoil the match thread with Pardew talk though. Classic game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4725 Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Carried away? Did you not see the game? We went at them without fear despite having our squad out and being 15th in the table. Cant think of a single other side in this league that would have done that. We would have gotten them too if not for a bit of luck. Â I dont know what people want from their football teams. But I'll have that everyday of the week. We've criticized the team a lot this season, I have too. So Im not going to sit back and get carried away thank you very much when they put in a gutsy performance like that. Â Â As you might gather from the match thread I take nothing away from the team. You did say however credit to pardew for putting out a gutsy team. He didnt, it was forced on him is the only point I was making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene_Clark 12 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Let's not get carried away. Pards has played Bigi because Tiote is suspended and Marveaux because (according to the local journos), Jonas is injured. Â Excellent performance but we should have been doing this 4 months ago.

Christmas Tree 4725 Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Oh c'mon, now! No one is going to take me on with my not so subtle way to say Captain Colo needs replacing eventually? Or try him as a defensive mid.

ChezGiven 0 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Bloody brilliant performance from the lads today and that's all I give a shit about right now. Turning point in the season surely. I want to think so too but the fact we got nothing from the game is hard to take, especially looking at the shots on target and possession we had. In a way i think we alread have turned the corner a little bit, i was pleased to read about a bit of falling out between players and managers, its a key dynamic in team development and i think we are beginning to see Pardew has got to grips with the motivational / performance issues. The results will come if we can re-integrate the better quality players and keep the intensity and concentration we are starting to see again.

Christmas Tree 4725 Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Marveaux was the difference and MOTM for me, Anita probably second. What do others think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7030 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Positives -  Too many to mention. Cisse took his goal like the world class striker he is. Marveaux showed why we would be mad to part ex him. Obertan continues to show promise. Coloccini is the best defender I've seen at the club etc. etc.  Negatives -  Simpson. Fuck me gently. Plays further up the pitch than out strikers, inevitably loses the ball and leaves a fuck off huge gap at RB for opposing teams to attack into. That shot at the end too.  Sammy, that one shot aside, seemed to be strolling around the pitch like his brother when he came on. Was a very strange choice to bring him on  Anita. Possible broken ankle and not even a yellow card. Disgraceful  Fergie. F'd and blinded at the ref/linesman/4th official for a full 45 minutes and fuck all was said to him. SHould have been sent to the stands about 10 times. I hate the horrible cunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 7295 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 We should have at least got a draw. RVP smashing Colo in the face 10 seconds before scoring thier third ffs. Â Colo embarrassed himself with the way he carried on there, on replay there wasn't much in it. If he had carried on defending highly unlikely that they would have scored IMO. Can't be fun getting one across the schnoz, but if you don't get the call you need to keep playing. Â Defensively in the second half we lost our shape.

JawD 99 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 We can absolutely walk away with our heads high after that. Players and manager.
