  1. He was actually pretty good up to that point. I remember him at home to Spurs where he was class. Had to read up on this one a bit He was 31 years old, so not sure age can be used as an excuse but apparently he was struggling with an strain injury. His next match against Fulham he got MOTM. Portsmouth lined up in a 4-5-1 with Benjani as a lone striker. Only speed merchant in their team was John Utaka on the wing. Benjani was rapid at Portsmouth (85 acceleration and pace on Fifa iirc ) and we still played a stupidly high line with a slow defender over 30, like. I'd say it's fair to say the set up was suicidal. Cacapa had 78 accelleration and 80 pace on Fifa, wtf is your point? No matter how poor or good, old or young, slow or fast he was, in that particular game he played awful and shipped 3 goals in the space of 11 minutes and got rightly subbed. Match report: First goal came due to a poor Butt clearance from a corner, so none of the goals had anything directly to do with a high line necessarily. If the '' didn't give it away, I wasn't being entirely serious, but Benjani was still fast - certainly faster than Cacapa - and we still played a suicidal high line, so I'm not sure why you have such a bee in your bonnet about the suggestion that Sam Allardyce's shit tactics might have been to blame, when Cacapa was old, slow, new to the league, and had other performances where he wasn't badly exposed and played well. It's hardly outlandish. Your last sentence is just wrong, you've picked one goal in a 4-1 loss and then claimed that none of the goals had anything to do with a high line? The other two goals when Cacapa was on the field were due to a high line, because they were nigh on identical goals. It's ok to admit when you're wrong man, just give it a rest.
  2. Josh (?) Sims was tracking back, not that far away from where Almiron played the ball past JWP, and is quick enough to overtake everyone on our team bar Almiron in that situation so wasn't that fussed about the decision as much as I was cursing at JWP.
  3. Same. I was out at the start of the season but Rafa pulled me back in. If he is satisfied with what he's getting and stays, that's enough for me to know that the club can progress.
  4. "Heart" and "passion" doesn't need to be quantified as it's just bullshit

  7. The thumbnail had me expecting a conductor performance better than the Pardew one.
  8. Doubt anything will ever beat Cacapa vs.....Portsmouth...?

    https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/top-10-biggest-waste-of-money-safc-and-nufc-have-signed.1470633/ Wijnaldum and Mitrovic a waste of money? Ok. How much profit did we make on both of them? If doubling your money is wasting it, I'd love to waste mine every week. Bunch of weirdos.

    NUFC finances

    Even without commercial and match day income we'd be above or on par with WBA, Huddersfield, Swansea, Stoke, and £1m under Watford. The way this club is run, Ashley doesn't need a single bum on any of the seats in the stadium.

    Isaac Hayden

    Straight swap for Rondon if WBA gets promotion.
  12. Aye, and also the free pizza to keep morale up around mid-season. Wise investments!
  13. At the time of signing OGS you'd struggle to find a reason why not, but it's still a bit weird why they did it when they did when there was no reason to sign him permanently until the summer anyway. I'll admit I kind of fell into the trap of thinking although he's not a very good manager, it could be that he just fits the club perfectly due to his background and philosophy. Although the results in April have been bad, it's been against difficult opposition including 2 games against Barca where they weren't expected to get a result in either games anyway.
  14. He had a really good game. All over the pitch. Generally did the right thing when he had the ball. Started the attack for the second by playing Rondon through and sacrificed himself with the assist for the third which came at a crucial time seeing as Soton was all over us at that point. If it wasn't for Ayozes hattrick he would have been my motm.
  15. He's nothing like Ben Arfa, unless you want to describe him as more hard working and slightly faster without the ball in his feet, but with poorer shooting, passing, technique, first touch and dribling.

    Fabian Schär

    Fernandez did a good job when he came in. Dummett has done an excellent job covering for Lejeune, and we still have Clarke ready to step in for either of the healthy CBs if needed.
  17. MOTM Perez for obvious reasons, but also really good performance by Ritchie who's been running hell on Southampton all game, Dummett for solid and good last ditch defending and Hayden.
  18. Pay attention the to game old geezer!
  19. Yeah, Diame in for Ki about now is a good shout.
  20. Hope someone kicks the head off one of the Southampton players. Don't care whom.
  21. Fuck off Southampton. Players clearly instructed to go in hard on Almiron.

    Sunderland

    Would be funny if they drew with Doncaster today, and Doncaster missing out on the last play off spot to Coventry and Sunderland to get the second play off spot so they're primed to get sentenced to another season in league 1.

    None of those were bought/brought in from elsewhere either though were they?
