Guest neesy111 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 The failure to sign a CB in January I will repeat was a farce, looking even worse now. I won't doubt Williamson's commitment he tries 100% in games, it's the club's fault that we need him during this crucial time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Today highlighted the reasons we can't play it out from the back. I think it highlighted the reasons the players should practice it in training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly a farce man selling Ba and not signing Cisse would have been a farce. In August, the vast majority were banging on about "signing a number 9" - they do that in the Jan transfer window and now it's suddenly a farcical window.

Erm, going into rest of the season with 2 CB's fit in the 1st team is a farce. If Coloccini gets an injury which wipes him out for the season then we are royally screwed at the back.

Gaz Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Really struggling at the minute, seems ok when the forwards he is marking are tall and dont have much movement. Does not help when he comes for the ball off Krul and Simpson runs up the pitch with his back to him could do with someone at right back like Santon who would at least show for the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammys_Tekkers Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Really getting frustrated with him. We need to sign a new CB in the summer, but he's the best of what we have atm (Minus Colo of course) and hopefully he can prove me wrong in the coming weeks.

TRon Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Maybe if we didn't spend so much time in our own half his weaknesses wouldn't be o much under the microscope? At the beginning of the season no one would haver objected to him being a 3rd choice centre back as he can do a job there. But to cope with constant pressure you need top class defenders.

buzza Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Can you all remember a year or so ago when everyone wanted Willo in the team and Taylor as a sub? Just a bad run of form at the moment I think...doesn't look the player he was tho' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 That is just the way it is though. He, as a professional footballer, has to be able to cope with that. If he can't then he shouldn't be playing at this level, it's that simple. Of course in an ideal world 50,000 people would shout 'come on Mike, you can do it!' in unison, but the reality is that people have paid money to be there/have had a few drinks etc. and are going to get frustrated when someone does what he was doing today. I find myself agreeing with this sentiment, your being paid shitloads of money to play football, and people pay good money to come watch their team play and he's been horrific lately, its not like the fans started getting on his back all of a sudden, its his job to stay focused and play good otherwise he should fully be expecting this type of reaction. I hate this kind of mentality and it does NOTHING to help our team. He's clearly already low on confidence and just looks nervy. That partially attributed to his mistake. However, 45k moaning & groaning at him is not going to help anybody. It will only make things worse and that's exactly what happened. He isn't performing due to a lack of trying so to get on his back will achieve nothing. Say what you like about L'pool fans but they truly try to give their players' confidence. If we want our lads to try and play football we have to accept it may lead to the odd calamitous mistake. We can't have it both ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Deadmau5 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 The best thing to do would be to let williamson handle the odd hoofball from the other team and excert pressure higher up the pitch. It doesnt matter if we pull central midfielders down to babysit him and nullify our midfield in the process... Exposed to pressure on the deck he will bottle it, so I dont get why we play like that in the first place, with a strong midfield and a weak defence. Seems like the worst possible way to handle the resources tbh.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 The idea of hoofball is nonsense anyway. Both Keegans and SBR sides used to play long balls out of the defence, the difference is that they had the players cope with that system and the variety to play a different way if needs be. There's nothing wrong with the odd percentage ball up the front men, its the inability to change things round that have cost us so dear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the odd percentage though, it's every time with Williamson etc. I don't mind mixing it up, but for the last 3 months our main tactic has been to hoof it.
