johnnypd Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 people all season have said that it needs to be one of rozehnal/capaca with one of faye/taylor, as you get a sweeper with an aggressive, physical player alongside him. quite why we went with the two former players when they struggled so badly in the reverse fixture this season... taylor can't have been that unfit, he looked fine when he came on.

black_n_white Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Dosn't come as a surprise as we've been poor in our last 2 games despite winning both! playing players out of position is NOT tthe way to go!! And will somebody please f**king sort our defence out...how many more seasons do we have to put up with sunday league defending!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Harry-Norway Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 26.12 A Wigan Athletic 29.12 A Chelsea 01.01 H Manchester C Cant see us getting many points the next 3 games?? Is many years since we did a good Christmas performans,we always comes out bad at these times But anyway,have a nice Christmas and maybe a Happy TOON Year all of you PS. that includes you to Decky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montey Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I wonder how many points and games we are losing for his favorite 4 3 3 it is just sad 28 points would have been nice since it is tough on January. I didn't think we played a 4-3-3 today. I thought it was more of a 4-4-2 with Martins and Smith switching between being forward and wide-right.

Decky Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Id rather see Duff on the left, Milner on the right and Zog in the centre , even if its something like this: Barton Butt N'Zogbia Milner Duff Martins Why not try that? Have we anything to lose? It gives us good attacking options and doesnt leave us vulnerable at the back, its miles better than what we played today.

Yorkie Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 By no means were we scintillating, i am absolutely not saying it was a particularly good performance, but we really should have won that game. Derby will be saying the same though. We were, by and large, the better side in that game. That's all i am saying. People are trying to make out that i'm happy/content/whatever. I'm really not, honestly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 How many times did Smith touch the ball in the second half? How many times could the wanker have shot and instead tried to dribble around the whole Derby defence? He was useless today. When played up front, he actually offers us something but when played in midfield, he's a liability - something which his partner in crime Barton also is. Allardyce needs to stop with this ridiculous Smith-bumming and fucking play him in the right position or not play him at all. I also thought Milner looked quite good on the right, looked better than he did on the left - so, for me, that puts paid to that 'Milner's more effective on the left' shite that Sam was on about in the interview.

Guest newcastle4life Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 One point against Derby isnt good enough and defence rubbish again no point playing defenders if Derby can score twice. Two points wasted. > Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Satisified we didn't lose. Absolutely fucked off that we didn't win that. The fact we didn't win means we simply weren't good enough today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 That's certainly a plus point if there are any, Duff looked bright when he came on, and i don't just mean his hair dazzling the crowd as the floodlights bounced off him. He actually looked like he had a turn of pace, bizarrely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 At the moment, the problem is in the middle of the park. Central midfield and central defence. Neither have any control, and we are suffering because of it. If Sam doesn't recognize that and make changes next month, then we also have a problem in the dugout. I expect a replacement for Butt in January and some time for Barton on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shaun11177 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Martins on the right wing-great idea eh. So disappointed in Smith-6m-Barton still looks way of the pace or maybe he isnt very good-5.8m and Enrique oh ye he's the bloke that never plays-6.3m. Would you give this Manager more money. Sam is hanging onto this job by his fingernails. The Zog and Butt did great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I've definately started to lose faith in Big Sam. When that stat came up in midway through the 2nd half that said Derby had 61% possession...I think that said it all. No more 4-3-3. Grumble. We didn't play 433. Some people here are on drugs. I don't even know what system we played.. What was Smith's position for instance? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garth Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 It was only the last ten minutes did we play some decent football nice to see Viduka get on the score sheet. I hope Sam buys a creative midfielder in January we need one desperately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 How are people blaming Roz for their second? Great skill from Miller and a bit of luck. Not much Roz could've done there, IMO. Shite game though, especially second half, was terrible for 35 minutes. Duff looked decent though. In all, I'm blaming the Swedish commentator though, Arne Hegerfors, what a fucking colossal wanker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 people blaming rozehnal for us not winning, yes he was shit, but derby too will be looking at their defenders and thinking they've let them down for the two we scored, had they defended better they'd be looking at a comfortable win. they also had 2 good chances to put it away in the 2nd half and a host of other good opportunities or positions when they hit us on the break, had they been more clinical they'd have put it out of reach before we had a chance to respond. this is all while making us look like fools for about 35 minutes of the 2nd half, getting first to every 50:50, mopping up loose balls, passing it around us and exploiting space on the counter time and again. so it's not as if one mistake from rozzy robbed us of something we deserved, we're pretty lucky to get a point in the first place. and as shit as rozehnal was, cacapa didn't look much better and was also at fault for the goal.

Skeletor Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Why are people complaining about 4-3-3? We were 4-4-2 today with Martins on the right wing and Milner on the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
