AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I don't think he instructed us to go long in the second half, it's just what happens sometimes when you're pushed back and Williamson, Simpson and Krul are shit scared of playing football. Would have liked to seen us give more a go in the second half, but you risk getting caught out like we did, so it's a fine balance. Totally agree.

Ronaldo Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 He doesn't pass the ball as well as Enrique. Enqique has always had poor distribution, bar the odd ball over the top/down the line like he used to do for Martins. Actually if you had watched the last few Liverpool games you would have seen plenty examples of his poor passing. Aye, and Alan Smith's better than Scott Parker. Typical ex-Toon revisionism. What are you talking about? Enrique is comfortably a better player than Santon. We have been debating who has better technique. You said (or implied, can't be bothered to check) than Santon goes forward better than Jose. Ask Jonas about it, because our left side has less than half the attacking threat now that he's gone.

Hughesy Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 What's the point in playing balls to Ameobi to hold them up. Soon as he attempts to take a touch with his feet we're f*****. He did absolutely fine today. Yep. Just loved the way he took it on his chest, let it fall to his feet and then sprayed a nice pass to a red and white shirt. Absolute class from this complete waste of space. Umm - Shola played well when he came on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he doesn't. I think he tells the players to kick it long, which is absolutely bloody obvious. He's had plenty of opportunities to drop Simpson, he's played more minutes than any other player under this manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Argh, this debate is a perfect circle. Rest assured, if he'd been picking Raylor instead of Simpson for any length of time he would be getting much more stick than he is now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, we could have snatched a point today with these tactics but we really didn't deserve to. We started off well but got worse and worse after each substitution.

ElDiablo Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 One thing pretty noticeable is not a lot of work goes into attacking 'plays' and working decent positions with the ball, because we look very hit and miss going forward. The movement in midfield is especially abysmal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movement in midfield is especially abysmal. As soon someone gets the ball in the final 3rd they are usually left very isolated as everyone else stops running.
