Tooj Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Has he finally realised he might be able to actually play football? He seemed like our most composed defender in the first half. Not at all. The amount of times he passes back to Krul instead of playing it forward as he has no confidence in his own ability is extremely frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Has he finally realised he might be able to actually play football? He seemed like our most composed defender in the first half. Not at all. The amount of times he passes back to Krul instead of playing it forward as he has no confidence in his own ability is extremely frustrating. His touch and technique are awful. Maybe he's fully appraised of that fact and plays the 'least likely to f*ck up' pass when forced with a choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of times he passes back to Krul instead of playing it forward as he has no confidence in his own ability is extremely frustrating. Howay man, first half Colo and Williamson were shocking on the ball. He was the only one playing simple passes and actually played a few meaningful ones forward. Santon was great too, as per. I'm no fan of Simpson but he was miles better on the ball last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Most of our crosses last night were poor to be fair, from both sides. Jonas in particular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 He actually tried to whip in two crosses, instead of the usual dink/punt/scuff. They weren't that bad I didn't think and I thought overall he played fairly well. Still such an average player mind. Him and Willo are limited defenders and painful to watch.

Flip Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 He has had some good crosses of late Danny boy. To be honest, he's been one of our least worries during this shitty form of ours. The central defence has been a much bigger problem. We need to get Douglas or someone else in come 1st of January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Yeah i'd say a CB,Winger/Forward and a CM are more important..... wouldn't complain if we brought a RB mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 genuinely think as a centre half you've enough time to make yourself a cuppa, flick through "What's On" and catch up with a family member over the phone before you have to get your head under one of his crosses to head it away. Seemed to be one of our main outlets this evening but still there's no fucking venom in them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Teams no they can just leave space for him to attack into as he's not really going to do anything with the ball in the final third. The fact that he's still first choice right-back shows how much of a failure the summer window was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 He is being ignored loads even when in space, can't cross at all and one or two decent bits of defending is not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Was moaning that he was the one doing all the attacking on that right side and it was coming to nothing. So ofcourse Hatem wonders over gets the ball and scores. Tried hard Simpson today but fucks me off royally that we never got the right back we wanted in the summer. FUCK YOU MIKE.

Tachikoma Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Credit to Simpson today, I don't think anyone else in the attacking half showed the same level of desire to get on the ball, although it does mostly come to nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Could do worse than watching some old Gary Neville videos on how to cross a ball, his crossing 3 years down the line is still woeful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 thought that was one of his better games he has had for us, never gave kakanilic a kick and defending really well, just a pity that his crossing wasn't a big better when going forward.
