Yorkie Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 why take a pen with your weak foot...bellend Still can't get over how this piece of absolute nonsense has been peddled constantly since the first half yesterday. what nonsense? It being the fifth of five pens he's taken for us with his right foot.. he hasn't taken them all with his right foot tbh Yes he has. Do you really think he stepped up to a penalty and though "Hmm, what'll make this more fun? I am SO gonna take this with my weaker foot." He's two-footed ffs. See goal against Tottenham (3-2, Roeder season) / goal against Aston Villa (2-0 this season). He's as two-footed as it gets. I'm not denying it was a shite penalty and he probably shouldn't have taken it; but using that as a bat to hit him with is just a joke; it's a load of crap.

Yorkie Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 The penalty against Everton and one against Birmingham last season were with his left iirc They were both with his right foot... skied the one v Everton and then the one v Brum i think sneaked in off the post, or through the keeper's hands, or something like that. Both pretty unconvincing anyhow and i was fearing the worst when he stepped up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i'm pretty sure they were all with his right. Reading, Everton, Waregem, Brum, yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But saying "god he took it with his weaker foot, what an idiot" is. Ronaldo... you're right actually; the Villa goal was with his left too. I'm wrong there. Meh, i'm not pursuing this argument anymore; load of total bollocks imo. Shit penalty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I reckon he could CP. Our defence looked very very tight yesterday and with the inclusion of Beye now too, I could quite easily see a few one nil's. our defence looked very tight? I must have been confused, i thought i saw Arsenal score 3 times and hit the woodwork 3 or 4 times. I was more so referring to the first half, and prior to the crocking of Bassong and Taylor.

captainhaircut Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Just to clarify the point about Oba's pens and which feet he's taken them with. Reading - Scored Right foot Everton - Missed Left foot Zulte Waragem - Scored Left foot Birmingham - Scored Left foot Arsenal - Missed Right foot Not sure what that proves but there it is.

He was previously one in one with his right and two in three with his left, so having a go at him seems a bit strange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikri Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 We don't play to his strengths at all. True, he's not the greatest passer & he's really not a target man type striker, but put him through to run on goal & he does very very well. Trouble is, we're not set up to play that type of game, I can't really think of any time since Roeder where the team has been set up to play to his strengths. It's more luck than judgement when the team do create those types of chances for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goal yesterday came from nothing other than his own persistence. He has some of the worst midfielders in the league behind him, with a shocking supply line.

colinmk Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 He's a good player who needs someone to lead the line. Fucking arsehole who needs a boot in the head too though. Should never of taken that penalty on his right foot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I wouldn't mind Oba taking pens when he's scoring goals regularly, but when he hasn't scored for a couple of months he's the last person i'd want to take one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
