Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Personally I thought Steven Taylor should have made more of an effort to track Gardner's run. Perhaps the run should have been tracked from midfield but once it wasn't then Taylor could see Coloccini had their striker to mark, he could see Gardner running in, and he had nobody to mark himself. But instead of closing Gardner down, he doubled up with Coloccini on their striker. Collocini was the nearest man and should have attempted to close down the immediate danger, leaving Taylor to come over and pick up the lad in the centre. Instead Collocini stood there watching while Gardner ran past him to score an easy goal. Is correct however once Taylor realised Colo was going to stick to his man, he had to come over to cut off Gardner, which he didn't. It was a preventable goal.

TaylorJ_01 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 The most annoying thing is that Martins is a player that can really make things happen but with Shola beside him he won't get a chance. We NEED to play Viduka up with Martins. I wish we kept N'zogbia, him on the left with Jonas on the right might have created some problems through pace, but we have fuck all now.

The problem isnt the fact we are conceding, it is the fact that we are completely impotent going forward. I hear many a pundit saying that with Owen, Martins, Viduka and Smith we have more firepower than those around us, however, in order for this to be true we need a supply line. Our midfield is the least creative, least physical midfield in the premier league. This and this alone is the reason we are where we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ7 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 We werent very organised atall. This is hardly surprising considering we don't seem to have any tactics. Its like 442, then tell the players to go out and play. We play the same in every single match, dont change how we play against different teams, and don't have anybody to change to a plan b because there isnt one. The only influence the coaches seem to have is motivation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake_horne76 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 gets my goat when they take a pathetic short corner and mess it up..thought we looked quite dangerous from set peices Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mantis Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Crap from start to finish, with a couple of exceptions, and the usual 'wrong' substitution. Little alternative options on the bench. Dont forget to buy your season tickets by end of May for another year of this pish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Also, how much of a fucking joke are clubs like Bolton? Fucking half-time cheerleaders (all for them elsewhere, skimpy clothes and all that) Singing for their mascot, some geezer dressed up as a lion, to give them a wave, and ask what the score was, and encourage to act like even more of a dick and piss their pants laughing at him is utterly pathetic.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 What was the deal with the blatant Bolton handball in the box. How wasn't it a penalty. I mean the guy came diving in with his hands up. Was Steven Taylor-esque. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got up at 8 for this (3 hours of sleep), and I think I will regret it the rest of my life. Significantly worse to watch than the Everton match.

Big Geordie Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Also, how much of a f***ing joke are clubs like Bolton? f***ing half-time cheerleaders (all for them elsewhere, skimpy clothes and all that) Singing for their mascot, some geezer dressed up as a lion, to give them a wave, and ask what the score was, and encourage to act like even more of a dick and piss their pants laughing at him is utterly pathetic. The cheer-leaders looked very young to me. Something slightly dodgy about having young girls dancing about in skimpy gear. Perhaps I'm just getting old.

Couldn't see their faces due to being quite far away/half-cut. Still, brought back memories of Wigan and their cheap, tacky, fizzy-pop league-like structure.

The combination of watching it and knowing the result, and having this be the match that followed Inter v Roma is just ridiculous. We have one midfielder that goes forward.
