steve_69 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 It actually looked like he had been specifically instructed not to hoof the ball last night - same with Simpson. At times it seemed like he was looking up ready to twat it and then had second thoughts, and played it simply on the deck instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 More to do with having more options in midfield with us having 3 there and then them being a man light tbf, but it still happened. I'll take it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Piss weak against Koné at one point, his panic attack when Colo passed it to him in the first half and he hacked his foot into the ground and misplaced his pass back to him was pure comedy. Decent enough otherwise but really lacking in confidence at the moment. That coupled with his lack of ability on the ball makes him a liability.

TaylorJ_01 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 He did what CH's should do last night i.e. won headers and got some decent challenges in. As the game wore on last night he definitely looked more comfortable on the ball and his confidence looked less fragile. He's played a lot more football this season than anyone, probably including himself, would have ever expected or hoped and he needs the support of the crowd when he's wearing the shirt. I'd agree with this. We definitely need a couple CB's in Jan. If we don't even get 1 then I'll... well... I won't do anything but I'll be awfully peturbed.

steve_69 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 More to do with having more options in midfield with us having 3 there and then them being a man light tbf, but it still happened. I'll take it. Yeah, it might be wishful thinking on my part, but whatever the reason for it i'll take it. Just seemed too much like a coincidence that both hoofers were playing the ball on the deck more. Even Krul didn't seem to be banging it forward as much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliottman Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 There was a moment in the first half where he was passed the ball and for no apparent reason he just panicked and miskicked it to one of their players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 He was better last night like, I wouldn't say he was particularly great but he was far improved imo. Hopefully that clean sheet will give him a bit of confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Got a right bollocking off Pardew for that awful spinning backpass he attempted in the first-half. I felt bad for him, but I suppose he deserved it. He just reeks of To be fair Colo made it even worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i'm saying is: i'm glad we actually took strides to exploit the advantage, with little tactics such as this. I wouldn't have expected it from us in previous weeks.

TherealnorthernTOON Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 An ok player when full of confidence playing in a team full of confidence, take that away and he's more or less just a pole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 He's not completely useless. He puts his body on the line and tries his best, but has so many limitations it's laughable that he's anything more than a backup CB at a PL club aspiring to finish in European positions. It's not ground breaking information that we need a new partner for Coloccini asap as Steven Taylor cannot be relied upon, and this is no fault of Williamson's. As long as he's got the shirt on, and tries his best, I can't fault him despite of his obvious short comings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
