johnnypd Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Owen and Martins are having a "Who can look the most dis-interested" competition. actually both have done a lot of running. need more decisiveness from them though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 How did Oba miss that? It was a good half. We showed energy and desire. Smith was hustling and Butt was our best player of the half. The Enrique injury is unfortunate because he was probably our best player up until then but since Guthrie came on, we've had more possession (not surprising). Colo and Bassong have dealt with their attackers well and really, all that's missing from our good play is a goal. I'm confident we'll score in the second half. Smith and Jonas, 2-0 (just kidding) If Smith and Jonas score, let alone in the same game, we'd only have about an hour to laugh about it before zombies rose out of the earth.

Taylor Swift Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Someone needs to kill Duff after this season so we get the insurance money because he's fucking useless. He's a left-winger that doesn't dribble, cross or shoot. He keeps raising his arms wanting the ball to be passed to him but whenever the camera zooms out, you see their right winger only a few yards away from him. Why are you fucking calling for the ball, you dumb cunt? We'll score, man, we'll score. I know it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Boy Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 So are we playing all 3 up front or is Owen dropping back? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 We were launching too many long balls at first, but once the pace slowed down a bit, we were able to keep it on the deck. There should be more opportunities in the second half. Viduka has done very well. He's the most likely route to a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 We need to keep Viduka on, not sure he can last the 90 though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShearMagic Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 We wont break them down. The only thing I'm concerned about is whether or not we can keep them scoreless and secure a point. Fuck that shit man, its 0-0 and we dominated the 1st half, lets go out and get the 3 points. Yeah, but we won't. I'm not saying sit back and defend the point, we have to keep playing how we're playing, and I don't think we've dominated. We've dominated possession, but what use is possession when you don't use the ball? We've had about 2 shots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the top of my head, Duff's right-footed one, Guthrie had a pop, Viduka had a header, Martins had his chance and I'm sure there's a couple more that I've missed. We're going to score. We're going to win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oba with the massive choke, Viduka with a header, Smith with a shot from outside the area? For the amount of the ball we've had, we haven't created anywhere near enough.

Guest firetotheworks Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I dunno if its just me but when players are taking shots Im thinking to myself 'he doesnt believe thats going in'...I think if they believe, it'll happen.

Don't get me wrong I don't particularly like him, but he run with the ball, crossed, shot, and worked hard that half. He always works hard; that I don't doubt. But I'm saying his contribution is very negligible. His crosses are always floated in and it's too easy to defend against. He runs with the ball but not with any determination and his passes are neither incisive nor ambitious; they're almost always to the man behind him or squared to the CM. So he's useful in that he rarely loses possession but we need midfielders with an attacking instinct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
