Beren Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Just got back from the match, only word to describe that was feeble. All the more galling that Fulham were shite and still looked comfortable. Special dishonourable mentions for Leon Best who has less awareness of what is around him than a blindfolded and unconscious Lua Lua and the anonymous Guthrie/Nolan. Harper was our MOTM. Hangeland, monstrous beast though he is, had a simple and easy game with the strikers easy to pick up with no midfield support. The only person who made any inroads was Gutierrez but with the rest of the midfield so unambitious the defenders took the forwards out of the game with embarrassing ease. Really, really poor performance. Thank the fucking lord Tiote is back this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 How does Jonas get away with it, man? Our best player. Honestly never seen a footballer look so scared of going direct to goal in all my life. The fact that people behind me were shouting for him to shoot beggars belief in the trust people have in him.

Guest neesy111 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Got to say Barton out of the whole midfield looked like he gave a toss and it was to the detriment of his own performance as he was everywhere on the pitch tonight. Just wished we had more players like him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's spent the last 2 1/2 years proving he's a terrible footballer. People seem to ignore it simply because Maradona rates him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His workrate fool's people into believing he's good when in fact even when he wins the ball he just give's it away easily or runs into a stupid blind alley.

That is true, but even Shearer dropped him for Lovenkrands. That must be an insult. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I'm probably of the opinion that he should be out when the Barfa returns, although I'm still pretty unconvinced with Barton on the wing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 He can't do much when every team mate within 40 yards stands and watches what he's doing rather than moving or giving him an option. Least of our worries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I'm probably of the opinion that he should be out when the Barfa returns, although I'm still pretty unconvinced with Barton on the wing Barton for me was trying to do everything tonight, mainly because of the shite performances of Guhrie and Nolan next to him. He isn't a winger in sense, but his play suggests he is a right sided player. Starting to remind of Beckham 8 years ago where he wasn't a winger but played there as such.

He's limited but tries and did a few decent things tonight despite having only Enrique as support. Unless you want him to be 'creative' by running through 6 players and scoring, then your standards are too high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Jonas was our best midfielder today. Some people don't give a damn what happens though, they have their favourites and their scapegoats. The bloke behind me saw Jose (an understandable favourite) float a ball over Jonas and the Fulham RB, who were both midway between halfway line and the corner post - it went straight out for a goal kick and then bounced... and guess whose fault it was for not chasing it Jonas was our only attacking outlet in open play tonight. Everyone else was diabolical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayno Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 The only way we ever move up the pitch is either by long ball or a Jonas dribble/Jose link up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
