jdckelly Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 wouldn't blame him a whole lot for the penalty shouldn't have been put in the situation by the stupid give away of the ball in a dangerous position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisjraby Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Went some way to making up for it with that brilliant block in the second half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AY Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Some horrible positioning from him today, but has been good this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Great block, but he's been good at that for most of his career (including the sniper incident). That's my beef with him, some parts of his game are good, other parts are poor and he'll try to mask them. For example, penalty aside, I still think he was a tad disgraceful at times today in the way he backed off/ran away. There was one occasion where it was extremely blatant because he nearly ran into a teammate to get away from an attacker. IIRC he was the closest man to Bale, who was running free down the left flank, and instead of coming across to close Bale down as most centrebacks would do (and despite being in a good position to do just that), he turns his back and runs in the opposition direction to where Coloccini is already standing - wtf was that about? Surely someone also noticed this? Luckily Bale made a bad decision and nothing came of that instance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Cabaye's error left him with the tackle to make, and he had to do something. It was a poor tackle, but I'm not too upset about it. He played very well otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Truth is he's always got a mistake in him but he's had a great start to the season and he's earned the right to a f*** up without consequence imho. I wouldn't event call it a "fuck up" honestly, think he could've done better yes but Adebayor was looking for the penalty and i think 9 out of 10 defenders would've react the same way, otherwise he played great as he's done since the last few games of last season.

Dinho lad Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Should have easily conceded 2 pens in 2 matches. Still playing alright, hopefully the silly talk (by Pardew) of him being in the England squad is not going to his head. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Had Adebayor been angled a bit more towards goal, it probably would have been a successful tackle, really Saylor was out done by Adebayor's shitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a poor tackle, but I'm not too upset about it. He played very well otherwise. Cabaye's error left him with some defending to do and he made a horrible choice. Unless your 100% you don't dangle your leg like that in the box. Ade was running AWAY from goal onto his left foot, honestly Stevie just panicked and did something stupid. He needed to just shephard him down the line and not be fooled by a faint. If Ade runs away from goal and tucks it away into the corner with his left foot then it's a great goal and Cabaye's/Colo's mistake. Ade invited him to do something silly and Taylor obliged. Excellent offensive play and bad, bad defending. Classic Taylor though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 That was old-school Taylor there. Doing before thinking and getting it wrong. But that's the first time i've seen it in, what, 720 minutes this season (and as a result of another player(s) mistake)? Had a great game otherwise.
