Kevin Keegan's Black and White Army 0-0 Bolton - 19/1/08 - Reaction from Page 18


Recommended Posts

We tried to play football today but couldn't put the players out to do it. Emre needs a right kicking for getting sent off against Stoke.

 

Enrique at one point gave Given a blasting when he was about to hoof it up field. We need ball playing midfield players.

Does anyone know if any of the websites have posted a video of the Keegan entrance before KO? Would love to see it again.

 

I know there are some fans versions on youtube.

 

It's a free video on .co.uk

how mint were the tunes in the ground y'day. I Am The Reserection and if memory serves A House Is Not A Motel for the first tune at half time. Although I was so spectacularly pissed that I may have just imagined them....

 

This Charming Man went down well over here.

There was a bloke ranting away about Keegan at half-time today! Telling anyone who would listen that the football hadn't improved so Keegan should get sacked!!  :lol:

 

I shit you not.

 

One of the microphones must have been right near some moaning twat, kept hearing this older sounding gentleman complain about EVERYTHING :lol:

Given: 7 - Did nothing wrong, great save in the end.

 

Enrique: 6 - Looked pretty solid, perhaps some problem with the tempo.

 

Cacapa / Taylor: 6 - Not that much to do, didnt really do anything special, good or bad.

 

Carr: 5.5 - Tried and actually looked like something similar to an athlet. No quality though

 

Rozenhal: 6 - See some people think he was pretty good. Think he was part of the problem, no creativity and no real tempo.

 

Zoggy: 6.5 - Tried to get stuff going, hopefully a good cm in the making.

 

Duff: 6 - Not as bad today as some would say.

 

Milner: 5.5 - Not much space to work in, didnt do enough though.

 

Owen: 4.5 - Was he playing?

 

Ameobi: Dont know how to rate him, looked like a donkey but was involved. Playing a lone striker against that wall of Bolton defenders cant be easy.

I didn't think Rozehnal had a bad game yesterday, some of his passing was off and the back pass to the defence without looking was dangerous but some of his long range passing looked really good, if it wasn't for Milner, Owen and Duff being too slow then they could have been put in by 50 yard passes from him.

I thought Rozenhal was by far our worst player.

I wasn't surprised with a draw tbh. Keegan has only really taken one training session so he can't implement his philosophy to the players yet. But you could see he changed one thing using CB's as the extra man going forward forcing Bolton deeper  but offering another option and surrounding the box. He needs more time and his own team before the Entertainers are back.

I thought he was the worst player but not by far the worst.  Enrique and Ameobi looked canny shite to me too. 

 

It's a little unfair to criticize Owen IMO because his game needs service and he didn't get any at all.

I thought Enrique did OK, agree about Shola.

I can't believe some of the views in this thread. Amazing.

 

We may not have got a result against bolton at home, but the intent we played with was miles better than under sam. SA would have had us sat in our own half, long-ballin it to ameobi, and seeing it come back on us, and they would have penned us in as we would have no attacking intent, and eventually broken us down for a goal. Our retaining of possession yesterday was, whilst not being perfect, miles better than anything we have seen in the last year.

 

Enrique was decent yesterday too. Did well with clearances, dropped his right shoulder and beat his man on a couple of occassions and passed it reasonably well. He didn't have many options but used those he had open to him in neat triangles. The worst player yesterday by far was Ameobi who, even though he has been out for a long time, does not have any ounce of vision in him whatsoever, and if he did, he wouldn't have the physical ability to pull off the pass/shot/cross that he sees. Roz did well playing out of position. He didn't get forward but that wasn't his job. His job was to prevent the bolton midfield 3 running through the middle of us and shooting at goal, an bolton didn't have much joy down the middle all match (admittedly partly because they didn't really try to put anything together down the middle). He won some good headers, and sprayed some nice passes. That's all you can ask of a CB come DM.

 

the intent is there on the pitch, now we just need the acknowledgement and time from the fans.

The worst players on the pitch for me were Milner and Duff, these are the players who should be creating and making things happen but they're doing neither.

 

Enrique looked solid defensively but didn't make any attempt to go forward or overlap, the strange thing is in his first few games his link up play going forward looked decent, It's up to Keegan to get him to forget about what Allardyce taught him and top be more open when going forward.

agree about Milner and Duff, made very little happen, tho i actually thought Owen was the worst player.

Cheers. He really is a legend, not often something makes me cry, but that did on Saturday, he belongs at SJP. Him and Shearer (as well as us fans) desperately deserve a trophy with the club they love.

it would help if they just stuck to their positions, out wide. At one point yesterday you had Ameobi wide crossing to Duff in the middle.

Interesting statistic in the Telegraph match report.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml;jsessionid=O1S2LLXLO13SHQFIQMGCFFWAVCBQUIV0?xml=/sport/2008/01/21/sfnnew121.xml&page=2

 

Percentage of accurate passes:

 

Enrique 69%

Cacapa 91%

Taylor 85%

Carr 78%

Duff 86%

Rozehnal 72%

Owen 73%

Ameobi 73%

Milner 41%

 

Quite interesting. Lends some support to those who felt that Roz did well on Saturday. Made a few really canny passes from distance. He was the least of our worries.

Only Cacapa, Taylor, Duff, Owen and Shola passed the ball adequately for a player in their position then.
