ChezGiven Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 :colo: Less than 30secs. Impressive. Seriously though, it's becoming really tiresome. You think he's brilliant, we get it. Yes but we need to defend the players who have ability (to the my eye, i admit) who are being singled out by the masses incorrectly (again, imo). So many times Colo has taken heat for the paucity of the rest of the team. This season's results are very telling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I thought Coloccini was good, don't get me wrong, but he kicked the guy needlessly from a long ball (before the ball got to them). The ref was card happy, surely even you Ronaldo can see why that could've been stupid? He got away with it though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 To be honest I liked Coloccini quite a bit today. I know it's a lower level and probably that gives him more confidence but I even thought he was more aggressive than when I used to watch him in Spain.

Guest iliketoonarmy Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Like it or not, we defend better when Colo is there. Like it or not, the result is always better when Jonas is there. And I admit sometimes they are shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

QBG Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Harper 8 - Was class when needed. Simpson 6 - Ok defensively, distribution was poor Kadar 7 - Solid all night, very impressed. Coloccini 7 - Got stuck in and handled their physical game well. Almost spilt my pint when I saw him charging forward on the break in the first half Enrique 9 - Best player again. Top Class. R. Taylor 6 - Lucky deflection for the OG, fairly solid throughout, some iffy deliveries. Butt 5 - Meh. Was alright by his standards nowadays. Smith 7 - Won every header and every challenge. Jonas 5 - Poor, didn't offer a lot at all. Nolan 7 - Good link up play, as far as I'm concerned he won the ball in the challenge leading up to the goal. Carroll 7 - Caused Morgan all sorts of problems, deserved a goal. Subs Ranger 6 Harewood 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 It was a horrible game against a side who kicked and wrestled anything that moved and a referee who allowed them to get away with it. Not pretty but if Arsenal or Man U had that for an away FA cup tie they'd probably be happy to come out nicking a 1-0 too. So a decent battling performance and excellent result, but if we had let it slip we'd have had no one to blame but ourselves as the last 15-20 minutes we sank so deep and also squandered the ball far too often.

Cronky Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 It was a horrible game against a side who kicked and wrestled anything that moved and a referee who allowed them to get away with it. Agreed. The crowd was very influential and the ref wasn't strong enough. Not only did he let them get away with some bad challenges, but every time one of their players fell over in our half of the field they got a free kick. He was a typical homer. Ironic that our goal came after one of our few fouls that he missed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made saves late on last night similar to what Krul did at WBA. Harper has been superb recently, but who's to say that given a run of 12-15 games like Harper's had rather than games in a makeshift side that Krul wouldn't have played to a similar standard?

Understand it was NOT criticism of Krul, (far from it) who has been loyal and as patient as Harper was behing Given But fairs fair - we praised Tim to the heavens after WBA - praise now due Harper.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 absolute fucking joke. Dunno how it happened, but you couldn't fit everyone into the row when we were standing. Not a clue how that happened, so we had to stand on the steps, then the bloody stewards came to try and move us all. It was quite funny watching the little 13 year old kids being Danny Dyer wannabes on the stand to the right of ours though. Atmosphere was a bit shit, game was even shitter, still I'll take 3 points.

Doug Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Enrique was the best player on view. Also I was very impressed with Nolan last night. He seemed to have found his legs again. He was putting in a lot of running and chasing off the ball that I did not think he was capable of. Let us hope it was not just a one off. If he had been started in Butts position and Ranger had started up front I think we may have seen a lot more of the ball. We would not have had to fall back and defend our last third for so long. We could have won comfortably instead of scraping it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Coloccini is shite. Deluded. He has been badly missed during the games he's been out injured and played very well again last night. Certainly been missed more than 2 Pools has been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 This match demonstrated just why Carroll is a big asset in this league ; he causes defenders all sorts of trouble(and Sheff Utd's are very physical)as well as being able to lay the ball off well - a skill which will improve as he gets more experience. Very unlucky not to score with that header..needs to control his temper though because he will get a lot of suspensions. Enrique head and shoulders above every other player on the park - cannot see how Ashley will resist the temptation to cash in soon because this boy should be playing in the Prem. 1 very good and 1 great save from Harper which won the 3 points late in the game. Creative midfielder a desperate need because we give away too much possession in the midfield by hurried non-passes. We are winning games without looking as convincing as we should and WBA's goal total is starting to look like an extra point to them.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
