Keefaz Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Decent effort. Sick of seeing Butt and Smith in the same square yard of pitch. Yep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 How gutted must Owen be thinking about how good he used to be. A bit like when Clark Kent gets in the mixer with Kryptonite, only much wrose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakka Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Half time, it's pissing it down which isn't helping, but we've been poor really. Here's how I've judged it so far, player by player. Given Not really much to do apart from the free kick save at the end. Enrique Has done ok, nothing special. A few misplaced passes when he's ventured forward, but stoke are sending two men straight at whoever has got the ball, so we've not got much time to think. Needs more support from a striker and N'Zogbia for easier passes. Faye Done well! - See's danger and is strong and quick enough to get there and sort it out. Making Taylor seem absent at times. Taylor Hasn't done much really. Generally Faye is taking control and sorting things out. Ronzenhal Frustrating. He's played far too many shite long balls from the back when a simple pass is needed. Has left us exposed down the right flank a couple of times. N'Zogbia Dangerous, always looking to run or shoot. Perhaps needs to think about crossing sometimes and not just shooting though. Butt Done ok, but still needs to realise he isn't David Beckham and his long chip passes are not that effective. His game should be winning the ball back and passing it only. Smith Complete joke. The only thing he has showed is his ability to run at the opposition and slide in with a tackle. Only once (out of dozens of times) has his sliding tackles worked, and that was more by luck than anything else. He should not play in midfield. No positioning sense either. Just seems to be a headless chicken. That time on the right wing when we lost the ball and he was the closest man, he should have got close to the stoke player and put him under pressure, not try a stupid slide tackle which left us well exposed down the right hand side. Duff Like Zoggy, looking dangerous. Shame that Viduka has not played the best balls to him, seems that he wants the ball to feet more. Viduka Done well, he's linked up play and been the most creative player on the pitch. Good first touch and lay offs, few good passes too. Nearly sent Owen through with that lob that bounced over the stoke centre back. Drops back to help link midfield and attack too. Just wish he was a bit more active at times when he hasn't got the ball. Owen Hmm... well he's not played bad, not seen much of the ball really. When he has got he ball he's linked up well with others. When he found himself one on one with the keeper after the ball bounced over the stoke players head, Owen really should have looked to just head it over the keeper. Instead he raised his leg to flick the ball but keeper got close enough to stop him. Overall thoughts:- Need to get a creative player on the pitch in the middle. Smith off now. Rozenhal told to keep it simple, no more long hoofs unless it’s a clearance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toptoon Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Fixed: Sub Smith and Butt. Bring on Cacapa and Lua Lua. Cacapa to CB and Faye to DM and Lua Lua as an attacking Midfielder. Then get Carrol on later. We need Faye as CB marking their 6'4 no. 10 he's a big lad and will shrug Roze and Cacapa off no worries. Faye's definitely the man to mark him. Although agree Butt and Smith need replacing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's nominally a striker, but he's acually the most defensive player we have. And not in a good way. Like Parker x 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
