di santos chasing shadows give it a rest, u know nothing about football with that statement, :roll:
No course not, I cant be a super fan. He had half an hour of football and you all think he is Messi. What did he ACTUALLY do. apart from run. Like i said he looked ok but not as good as everyone is making out. To put so much pressure on him to perform so early is just silly. To say i nothing about football is laughable, if only you knew..
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 crap ball, Or cuts in and shoots. Stam all day for me.
The defence has to really be on its game tomorrow, the obvious Bent is a natural threat however they have just also signed a world class strong pacey striker in Gyan too.
A hopeful 1-0 but head says 1-1
I would like to see the same team that beat Tottenham. I dont see why it has to be changed because of a bit more competition. Di Santo, Cleverley and N’Zogbia on the bench would certainly make sure the players kept up the performances surely.
Check out the quality of through ball by young cleverley… :o
Plus Hugo plays his part in colombia’s win. :D
That’s like the through balls I play on the reg for my sunday team … Except I am now a striker :( … And cannot play tomorrow :( [/quote]
If you play for the brick then you are a liar, they are probably the worst sunday league team in the town.
The players i want in are
Cleverley _ Done deal
Al Habsi – permanent
The spanish left back, For cover if nothing else
Di Santo
Michael Johnson
If i was Roberto i would stick in a cheeky bid for Djourou on loan from arsenalMichael Johnson ?
Always preferred Roger Black myself.
Roger Black Michael Johnson? – you’d have to pay me a lot ;) [/quote]

And Pulis stated last week that he was not interested in him
Piece in the mail this morning by Des Kelly about Cardiff and their loan players and finances. He has done some digging and, amongst other things, he states that koumas is on 29k a week and that Wigan are still paying 19k of thatwe have got rid of some big wages recently and it seems we have some scandalous ones still here. I think the only reason Whelan has not sacked Martinez yet is because he wont allow him to give out big wages, Hence McArthur, Stam and Al Habsi coming to the club. I think Martinez may be paying for Brucie’s mistakes. King, N’Zogbia, Bramble’s improved contract, Figeuroa, Kapo, De Ridder, Koumas not being sold when he blatantly had no future. The list goes on
He’s not suited to the English game, great touch but not strong enough.haha with all due respect trueblue83, is say thats what we need in the final 3rd, someone with a half decent touch and create chances for others
hahaha now stop being silly, you know 4-4-2 is far to straight forward, Its more likely to be, 3-6-1.
Im getting ready for a laugh today, i predict that we will be 2-0 down within 15 mins and it will end up 6-0 or maybe more.
Jesus, think about it, we have no wingers and Lennon and Bale will be running into free space, Bale against Stam could be a good battle but set pieces are always a danger and Lennon will be attacking the worst full back in the league in Figeuroa
Try having belief at some point can we?..Why, what is the point, the players don’t believe in themselves so why should we. It not belief its realism that people are expressing. Anything less than 2-0 is progress in my eyes, but get ready for a stinker
