cp40 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Undoubtedly Shola was completely at fault for their goal. In addition to this he wouldn't have scored the header Caroll did. That aside he did no different to Caroll. so he cost us a goal, and carol got us one,.. so carol is only worth 2 goals more,...ill settle for that diffrence thanks.

Pilko Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Carroll would get into the team on sheer workrate at the moment. It's the ball that he bothers to close down and the one that Shola doesn't that could be the difference between staying up, or going down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 You just know if we stay up who'll score the goal or if we go down who'll miss the chance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Carroll directed two great headers at goal neither of which were easy but he could easily have scored twice in the space of 5 mins. I can't remember Shola scoring two headers in the space of 5 yrs. That's the difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 It was the quality of posession that made the difference which was down to Gutierrez's influence rather than Caroll... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate, while I appreciate Shola isn't as bad as some here like to make out, Carroll is a real goal threat in the air whereas Shola isn't called 50p head for no reason.

dcmk Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Biggest mystery perhaps ever, how this clown passes off as a footballer and every single manager rates him. How can he be so good in training? he can barely move let alone run, he can't jump or head the ball particularly well and he can't strike the ball that good either. About as dynamic as a dead fish. I don't think i can recall an occasion where he bullied a centre half. Although saying that he probably bullies Collocini in training which isn't much to brag about.

Tooj Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Still can't quite get my head round that since Bobby out of all the managers, only Keegan was the one who realised how incapable he actually is of being a decent standard Premiership footballer.

Allardyce to be fair. I forgot about that 'performance' away to Derby. Mind Owen was just as bad if not worse than him that night. Apart from that game, he made about a further three or four sub appearances under Allardyce. At least he gave him the one chance, realised he was gash and then hardly played him again. One of the few things Fat Sam got right. I remember watching that game and finding it hard to dispel the theory that Ameobi must be on smack or something.

Heron Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 It could be that Shola does well in training but can't hack the pressure of the crowd - his own crowd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowen Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 the worst thing is he doesn't even look like he can be arsed, at least if he tried it would be something Tbf in the first 20 against stoke I commented to my old man that he looked really up for it, he was winning headers, throwing himself around and getting back to win the ball (usually after he'd lost it mind). It only lasted 20 minutes unforunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 the worst thing is he doesn't even look like he can be arsed, at least if he tried it would be something the thing that does it for me is the fact that he can't be arsed to jump for the ball most time's, you get fitter by running around etc, but the fact he doesn't on the football pitch tell's me that 1) he isn't that fit 2)he can't be arsed to change it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
