NEEJ Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I can't understand why we don't just play the ball to his feet. He's a fucking brilliant footballer, and not as good in the air. One of his poorest games today if not his poorest so far, but it's to be expected if we play like that as a team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Embarrassing the service we gave him today. Cisse ran around on pure enthusiasm and was therefore a bit more involved. Ba barely had a sniff, he was reduced to having to try and trap balls launched up to him at head height (facing his own goal), spinning the defender and trying to get a shot off. Needless to say, he didn't have much success. Agree that the service to him wasn't the best but thought that was his worst game for us today, his touch and passing which is normally decent was poor, hopefully he's back on top form next sunday. It was pretty poor against Villa too, just that he scored so nobody cared. Hopefully he just needs to get back up to speed. Next week would be nice. it's been pretty poor all season, what we've been great at is converting our meagre chances. Nail on the head. The good results have morphed that into tactical mastery rather than a failure to control possession though. game for game though i don't think we have many points we didn't deserve. The problem is we are looking like we deserve less points the further we go into the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Think he's coming too deep now. He should just stay up and is at his most dangerous lurking. Cracking striker of a ball and supremely confident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 The main reason Ba had a quiet game by his standards was that he was fouled by the Wolves defenders every time he received the ball. The ref did nothing each time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
