Though the turning point of the games was when the dirty bastards done a job on Moutokil which led to the cart horse to come on and get turned twice !!
Despite changing virtually the whole team since last year we still play like a limp wristed bunch of fancy dans with no real threat or penetration up front - and we obviously can't defend for toffee. Dogwank!
Far too physically weak, particularly in midfield. We are going to get turned over time after time unless we toughen up quickly!! What shocking defending by McCarthy. Sounds like Moo2 could be out for a while as well, damaged ankle ligaments. All in all a thoroughly depressing day.
I don't think Ambrose has made enough of an impact on the two games he's been playing in the middle. Either get ZZ in there, or put Sam on the right and bring Reid in the middle with Thomas on the left.
Granted defensively in the middle we were poor. McCarthy looks a pile of crap as does Bougherra. Those two got turned by someone fatter than me for the 2nd goal and reidy was looking for the hollywood pass all the time.

Poor overall team performance.
Didn't see the game, but still early days, look at Sunderland last year. Always thought with so many new faces we'd be getting off to a slow start. Still have had some concerns regarding Boogie and McCarthy, maybe Semedo will revert back when Racon ZZ and Holland become avaiable. I personally think ZZ could really make us tick this year.
Pardew needs to have a long hard think about the way this side is gonna line up, the potentials there to win this league, i reckon we've got the best squad going.The trouble is, no-ones showed up yet. The forwards are showing nothing, Reid is confusing the rest of the midfield by roaming, Ambrose is a luxury we cant afford and the defence, well there isnt one, no cohesion no solidity. For what its worth, i think Semedo is showing flashes that tell me hes gonna turn out to be quite a find, he just needs more awareness, hes giving the ball away too much.Bent looked back to his old self too, absolute rubbish.

The man showed no bottle last year so why should we think that he is suddenly going to start getting in amongst it now. Fucking waste of space.
Why oh why didn't Pardew sign a good CB?
That was possibly the worse game of 'football' i've ever seen.
All the players should be disgusted with themselves, they should pay back the fans who travelled for that.
Still no panic through, as Pards said he'll learn a lot from this and things will move forward
Poor overall team performance.
A team with realistic aspirations of promotion should be capable of at least drawing there.
The fact that we couldn't, combined with Moo2's injury leaves me feeling concerned.
We have to learn to cope with and overcome a physical approach.
Still we're not watching boring mid table premiership stuff which is what a lot of people seemed fed up with.
2 games in... for god sake.
