Conjo Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Thought he was ok today. Lifted himself ten times from the performance against Scunthorpe at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RupertCommunicator Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I originally thought he might just be resting on his laurels, but I had forgotten that his daughter is still in hospital. Maybe worth giving him a couple of weeks leave to sort his family out. Raylor can fill in at RB, with Fergy/New signing at LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I thought his baby was doing OK? Still in hospital, must be hard for him. but doing well! The baby still only weighs 5LB and is still in hospital. I think it's taking it's toll on him and this international break will help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 baby or not, his football has always been limited. He offers nothing going forward and defensively he is decent, never really outstanding If defensively he was brilliant you could quietly ignore his failings going forward BUT he is not brilliant defensively It is not an urgent area to sort out BUT we could easily improve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 thought he was better going forward than defensively tbh. I recall 1 cross he put in (canny cross as well) in the 2nd half, aside from that don't think he took a single player on, with or without the ball It is made worse because it is not much better on the left side, at least before we had Enrique who used to get forward and could beat people BUT now both our full backs offer next to nothing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonTastic Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 He had bother attacking as obertan was 3 yards from him rather than getting into a position so he could play him in. We were left with Simpson making runs then having 3 men round him. Nobody can attack like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution Number 9 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 thought he was better going forward than defensively tbh. I recall 1 cross he put in (canny cross as well) in the 2nd half, aside from that don't think he took a single player on, with or without the ball It is made worse because it is not much better on the left side, at least before we had Enrique who used to get forward and could beat people BUT now both our full backs offer next to nothing Taylor can't go past his man, but he did well when we got the ball to him in the final third and he had the time to whip a cross or a shot in. Him and Jonas are actually a pretty decent team going forward if you think about it, one is great at taking the ball forward but has fuck all end product, the other has lots of end product but is shit at taking the ball forward.

captainhaircut Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'm starting to strongly dislike this guy. It's not just that he's shit, he's on twitter calling Dzeko 'pony', How about you learn to pass the fucking ball before calling other players you twat.

Lush Vlad Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Never been a fan of his, but to be honest he has looked worse than usual this season, and it would seem that the complications with his little un is affecting him quite badly. Sounds like she's getting better though, so there will be no excuses at QPR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 does anyone else think that having no enrique has contributed to highlighting simpsons faults somewhat? we're conceding possession more on our left flank, and much deeper, which means there's more crosses coming in from our left as a result and simpsons very average in the air, which we're seeing more of. also our lack of threat down the left means that simpsons seeing much more of the ball and having to get forward more, and not really looking the part. i feel like if we were more balanced as a team simpson could get on with being an average defender and not have the attention on him so much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Stupid foul for the frr kick which led to the goal, and pretty sure both the free headers that Krul saved were because of Simpson ball watching and letting his man get in unmarked. Made a few good tackles and a couple of good forward runs though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
traeir Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 He's not good enough to play for a team looking to become top 8 club, it's just that simple.. We desperately need both LB and RB... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I counted three occasions that Cabaye pinged an absolutely gorgeous ball for him to run onto, only for it to skim off his toe and go out for a throw in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Case for RT to RB and new LB now, never thought I would have said it.. don't underestimate his ability at freekicks - goals throughout the team is a very, very good thing to have, it's a reason why I prefer S Taylor at CB than Williamson. I guess it's a throwback to Keegan's way of thinking, any player on the pitch could (and did) score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest H09 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 "Daddy" has been worse this season and pre-season than he was playing last season though. I think if he had of thrown a wrapper on his sausage this would never have happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
