captainhaircut Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Being booked is not an excuse for bottling a tackle. He didn't react quick enough and then left himself in absolute no mans land. He's not even within 50 yards of it when it goes in because as usual, he's not bothered getting his arse back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 http://i44.tinypic.com/9pntog.jpg Should be banned for life for going in from the side and cleanly taking the ball. Sarcy cunt. On reflection it does look fairly clean there. I was whincing in real-time cos it looked like he was going in with both feet. Might have to hold me hands up on this one.

JH Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 BAN BAN BAN! Nah, he did launch himself in initially in a dangerous way, but the actual challenge for the ball/player was clean IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're not one of those who defended Ryan Taylor earlier in the season when he gave the ball away on our left in roughly the same position which ended up in the back of our net and Simpson got the blame for that.

Mick Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 He's gone through the man before taking the ball. Bollocks did he, he went around the player and came in from the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 He's come in from the side, yes, but he's still gone through the man. That happens in most tackles, if that tackle is to be deemed dangerous then just about every tackle should be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbers Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Caught out of position horribly for the goal, and stuck his hands up before they had even scored....get rid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Tackle or foul; he was abysmal start to finish and has been in several of our recent games. We can't have him as a first team right back long term...especially where Williamson is involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I don't know how a defender, even on a yellow card couldn't block the ball when they were face to face, it's baffling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 The lad was at fault for their goal like. Like some people have said, the yellow card really affected him. He essentially bottled it when it came to challenging Buckley. By doing so, it exposed our right hand side which gave Buckley so much space to run into. Thought he put in a few decent balls today in the first half but really his performance was well below-par (he really did completely trail off as soon as he got that undeserved yellow card).

He was a liability before he picked it up and he was a liability whilst carrying the booking. It's debatable whether it was a yellow card, but it was a needless tackle to make and therefore he put himself in a vulnerable position. And besides, he would have bottled it anyway. It is so glaringly obvious how shit this guy is yet he still gets a game ahead of Perch, Raylor and Tavernier. How many more games does Pardew want him to cost us before ditching him?

TaylorJ_01 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 He had an odd game. He seemed to see the ball much, much more than anyone else. Undecided about the lad really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I've said, thought he put in a few decent balls today in the first half but really his performance was well below-par. His attacking play really lets him down tbh. If he actually bombed down the wing à la Santon, then we would have a great RB on our hands. As it stands, I would put him down as a just about (not by much) above-average RB.

Guest Rey Mysterio Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 He can't defend either though. Which is why Ryan Taylor should be ahead of him in the pecking order every single time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 It was not a yellow card, won the ball BUT if being on a yellow meant he was going to bottle any challenge then he might as well have asked to be substituted. There was no excuse for him not putting a challenge in and then then lack of effort to try and get back He had a rubbish game BUT he was not alone in that regards Simpson is a limited player, that much is clear. At best he will put in a decent performance defensively BUT he offers nothing going forward, can't control a ball, can't pass, can't cross, can't take people on etc etc - just long aimless punts, one after another Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
