Yorkie Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I don't think Blackburn were unlucky. The first goal had a slice of luck but they gave us the ball at the start of the move, and still had 80 minutes to rectify it. It's a chances game, we took ours and go away with the three points. I'd say that a robbery is when you have bad luck plus terrible decisions go against you that prevent you from winning/aid the other team, etc etc. That sort of thing. It was in Blackburn's hands tonight and they still couldn't pull it off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in Blackburn's hands tonight and they still couldn't pull it off. I didn't say they were unlucky, I said we were lucky. They weren't unlucky up front, we were lucky that they were shite and that's different. I don't know how the stats will play out but I felt that until Obertan came on we were less effective in the 2nd half than the first. The biggest difference in the 2nd half to me was Blackburn were getting more and more desperate as the game went on and if they carry on like tonight they are down. I actually thought they were lucky as times, Hoilett should have been off for that dive and the penalty was as soft as you'll ever see, they are just a very poor team. The booking for Taylor was a bit of joke, he went over and lifted the player but other than that he didn’t do anything to warrant a card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 He's been very lucky tonight and I don't care what anybody on here says. We won because Blackburn were as poor up front as any team I can remember seeing for a long time. We were worse tonight than we were against Fulham and a win is more down to the opposition than us. Modeste is a f***ing diabolical striker From what I've read on the Bordeaux Facebook page, the Bordeaux fans seem to be glad to see the back of Modeste. (They actually wanted him out on a permanent deal, they were confused as to why it was only a loan ) He's a good physical specimen (for want of another phrase) and causes defenders problems with his strength and directness. He's absolute sack in front of goal though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Enjoyed some luck tonight, but made the right call in binning the 4231 in favour of a more solid 442. I don't know why he is insisting on starting with the former tactic because with these players, it doesn't work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TherealnorthernTOON Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Saw an interesting stat on the telly while at half time. Bburn attacked us 80% through the middle. Imagine having tiote back there screening them away. Also think with both cabaye and guthrie there in the middle in our new project we will keep the ball more. HBA has to settle more down in play and keep posession and rather look for that sure chance instead of taking the world on his shoulders. Mind he didn't have his day today with the ball.

He REALLY wants it. I don't want to let myself think what we could achieve this season TBH. Still 5th even after missing all these players, and with Tiote, Ba and Cisse to drop back into the team. We could genuinely get into Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ykmkmdd Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Thought he did OK with what he had. Shola was terrible but Blackburn's main tactic was lumping balls into the box, plus they had about 150 corners so could see why he left him on for extra defensive height. Team selection for Sunday will be very interesting. Ba back in is surely a given, but does he start Cisse, stick with Ben Arfa or play Raylor or Obertan wide right, and who starts in the middle with Guthrie?

He REALLY wants it. After getting dumped out of the FA cup I'm not surprised he's playing up the league prospects. We had a golden opportunity to have some cup glory this year but pissed it away by being too cautious against Brighton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
