  1. IF you wish to stay in the PL, the answer is YES, you DO have to create ENOUGH chances against all but the best sides - we are NOT. You may think Stoke are the UK answer to Catenaccio but I don't ; they are a physical side who we would have blown away in the mid-90s. Are you a spin doctor? ------ and what the hell has that got to do with anything?
  2. How many saves from direct shots can you remember opposition keepers making in the past 3 PL games ? 4 on target v City (1 less than city) 7 on target v Stoke (more than stoke) 4 on target v Everton (more than Everton) I ask again - how many SAVES did we force their keeper to make ? Come on, stop hiding behind make-believe stats that can be made to prove anything. I cannot recall the Stoke keeper having to make more than 2 serious saves in the game - EXCLUDING the pen.How many saves did Everton's keeper make? Statistics could, if wanted, prove that a clearance by Krul was an 'attempt' on goal - doesn't mean he has a cat in hell's chance of scoring, does it? Unless we are forcing opposition keepers to save shots, we are NOT threatening their goal - defenders are there to block goal attempts, goal keepers are the last line. If you believe these stats, can you pls list the saves made by the keepers - and from whom - in the games you have listed ? Surely you're not that stupid. Shots on target - number of goals scored = number of saves Can you read ? I asked you to name the player who had the shots saved...what does 'number of goals scored; have to do with anything ? We scored ONE against Everton, ONE against Stoke(a pen) and ONE against City...how is this related to SAVES by opposition keepers ? You also asked the question that i have answered. TBH I can't remember who had shots as I don't have a hard-drive for a memory unfortunately.

  4. Twente could have done with him against Spurs t'other day.

  6. Could be a hinderance rather than a plus. Could be argued he has been playing for his place last few games hence the marked improvement and now he'll revert to being hit/miss
  7. Are you expecting us to be creating fuck loads of easy chances against those three teams like? Arguably three of the more organised defensive set ups in the league

  9. I'd be pretty angry at Torres if i was a scouser. Been playing like he couldn't give a toss at the moment.

    De Jong

    I know you love being OTT but you can't even to begin to compare Guthrie and De Jong's tackles man.
  11. I thought it worked alright actually. Squeezed the game in the middle of the park and showed their midfield up as lacking creativity and the ability to play quick one touch football.

    with Sparta Rotterdam manager Jan Everse saying: "He needs to see a mental doctor." Surely he'd be better off seeing a sane one.

    It'd be exactly the same on here if Darren Bent fucked himself.
  14. Fingers crossed he'll be alreet, as i think i said in the match thread it looked precautionary rather than serious. Fingers crossed he'll be back for Wigan as he is on top form this season, Pleat was waxing lyrical about him on Sunday.
  15. Gareth Barry who had an excellent game? Guess which person named Alan Hansen didn't watch the game?
  16. Adam Johnson is class like, how the fuck he didn't start is beyond me although i guess he ain't a DM.
  17. Really? I'd say it comes to the forefront even more so when it's a header. You've only got one chance to bury it... when it's on the floor you can control set yourself. You've got a split second to get it right with a header. You don't have a chance to think about it and psyche your self out of it though it's instinctual so I'd imagine composure wouldn't factor into it. saved me a job there Dino lad.
  18. FFS man! How is that a pen and how is it not a red if it is a pen.
  19. Can understand not being composed when the ball is at your feet, no excuse for a header IMO
  20. Note to self - Do not put foot through the television when NUFC are on MOTD2.

    Aye, didn't think it was too bad a challenge, just really hard. Absolutely nothing compared to what Nolan did to Anichebe for example. Just really unfortunate what happened.
