at what point did i suggest bob could do a job on them? i said newcastle did a job on them,with a defence like ours its highly unlikely we would do a job on them,all i`m sayin is the way that arsenal are playing at the mo we might stand a better chance against the first choice 11.the kids that he plays in cup games seem to have no fear,as they proved against us a few seasons ago when they trounced us. :oops:
what the hell was that rather annoying chant that the blackburn massive were doing through both halves,whatever it was,it was bizz. :?
my thoughts are yesterday we bossed the game,sky stats show that,but thats no good when you get in good areas but theres no one in the box to cross it to.goal should have stood but we could have pushed on after that,rovers were there for the taking.also stam,would run forwards 50 yards with the ball,then pass it 40 yards back! can anyone tell me what rodders brings to the team,no goal threat up front,shots that end up in row z,no hold up play.just a thowt,thats all.maybe al habsi slightly at fault for the first,even though it was a slight fluke.
the word on the street seems to be that we would be allocated around another 1000 if the first batch go,decent away following at least.
Definetly had the chances today.. Boselli the main culprit who should have done better. But do feel a little sorry for the lad he tried and worked his socks off just had 1 of those days. When he was walking off you could see the disapointment in his face he was dieing 2 score, and obviously felt he let the team down. I wouldnt like the fans to start using him as the scape goat as they did with Scotland im sure he’l come good. Hopefully his 1st goal wont take long… Another great game for Al Habsi who looks so comfortable in goal, he had no chance against Gyan’s stike though. Alcaraz looks like the man we have missed seems to have found his rythym again and was so confortable, won nearly every header aswell. I couldnt see the goal properly but he definetly deserved it he was our MOM.
Franco Di Santo….. Im so glad we have signed him, from what i saw in 35mins this lad had everything, skills, pace, ability to win the ball, strength and he looks really creative. He looks like our best signing in allong while, a real breathe of fresh air. I feel Diame and Mccarthy need to up there fitness rates, i know there allover the place working hard and i think there fantastic players. It just seems as soon as the 70min mark comes these 2 start flagging. It was Diame’s tiredness that lead to the goal he should have dealt with Henderson. Also Mccarthy got a little sloppy near the end of the game, a few miss passes. Stam also seemed really energetic looks a good player, loves to cut inside though, he played well in his wrong position… There keeper was there MOM and Steve Bruce acts like a little girl on the touchline, should have heard him moaning!! Was funny when Mensah couldnt find his top….Id carry on but id assume most of you are bored by now, just my views of the game, was quite enjoyable to be honestOh yeah
Had £4 on Alcaraz last goal at 40/1 aswell :DThought Di Santo was chasing shadows if im honest. Didn’t look as half as good as you make him out. Im certainly not judging him after a sub appearance though mind you.
Cleverlely, Now that is a young lad with potential, we have a future England midfielder this season so we should use him well. Did you notice the difference with him and the rest of the midfield. Whilst Diame, Thomas, McCarthy e.t.c try to play balls wide to Figeuroa and N’Zogbia all the time and wait for crosses, or launch optimistic balls at Boselli, Cleverley was always looking for a quick 1-2 or a simple but effective pass forwards and trying to create space on his own. He didn’t need to use the whole pitch to create a bit of space he only needs the 5 or 10 yards to create it.
Agree with Al Habsi, we have been missing a decent keeper for at least 3 seasons as Kirkland has gone in my book.
Boselli looks as though he lacks confidence already, He reminds me of the after christmas Zaki, Hopefully a goal will will do the trick but lets just hope he doesn’t take as long as Scotland did.
Stam looks superb, Well impressed with him. Its between him and Al Habsi for the best signing though i would give it to Al Habsi for the stability he brings.
Agree completely with Alcaraz, Had my reservations but he is growing with confidence every game and improving at a faster rate.Now then……Charles N’Zogbia. Erm….
It’s my view that as soon as he came on we seemed to drop the performance level. I don’t think we need to play him, I was certain that we would struggle without him but against Spurs we looked a solid unit and up until he came on we looked just as solid. Stam is very capable of working that wing. They are different players entirely of course. Stam looks for the pass, plays into feet and lurks around the box for loose ballls. N’Zogbia does the predictable run to the by line, does a typical Damien Duff dummy onto his left foot and whips in a rubbish ball, Or cuts in and shoots. Stam all day for me.[/quote]
di santo chasing shadows??? must have been at a different game me then,he looks class.stam looked good today to.wouldnt have got anything from this game 2 weeks ago,would have just give up,just need to start sticking the chances away.the thing is he knows he is here now till jan so if he still wants his `big` move then surely it would be in his best interests to keep his head down and show some form.cant see it helpin much if folk are gonna boo him.
am sure if charles goes to sunderland he can be assured a warm welcome from latics fans when we play them here week saturday.something similar to when chimbonda returned i would imagine. :)
if you think this guy is a decent player then you need talking to.no positional sense,cost us 6 points in 1 week last season by not picking his man up,doesnt like putting his foot in and looked less interested than i did yesterday.why we gave him an improved contract i`ll never know.gouhouri i thought also looked poor as did alcaraz(although its his first game so benefit of the doubt etc).the fact is the defence looks no where near good enough,even in pre season.also kirklands best days are behind him,not commanding enough,at fault for 2 goals today i thought,lets give al habsi a go,cant get much worse can it?
as we do need another keeper i have read int paper this morning that steve simonsen wants out of sjoke(who wouldnt) surely he would be a realistic target for us,pretty solid keeper i think.discuss.
it didnt take the commentator,sorry forgot his name,long to mention that we are a rugby town and we have the smallest attendances in the league.yawn yawn….. :roll:
can i just asked as long as kirky has played for us how many penalties has he saved or even got near to saving.i cant remember any.
As a keeper you’re not really expected to save them, not if you’re an honest keeper anyway and maybe you have a point there, he should probably be a bit more dishonest on penalties and come off his line, most get away with it.[/quote]
i`m not having a go at the guy,i just wondered by the law of averages if he would be thinking he should maybe get to a few more,thats all.
