Ronaldo Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Same old story with him. Very good player who fades completely after 60 minutes - which unfortunately coincided with our best period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Doesnt quite seem at the same level since ACON. Still very good, but he was stunning before in moments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthyaddiction Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Doesnt quite seem at the same level since ACON. Still very good, but he was stunning before in moments. I think that's because he's had a change in role. Before the ACON he was playing with a targetman. Now he is the targetman and it doesn't suit him.

Beren Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Ronaldo is talking bollocks, of course, it goes without saying - trying to superimpose his play from the last few games back over the course of the season. He doesn't look 100% fit the last few games though, for sure. Doesn't look to be running as fluidly, and often see him hobbling a bit. He's allowed to go through a rough patch (even if it isn't a fitness issue, I mean - although I think it is). The guy fucking carried us to sixth for the first half of the season.

Stottie Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Unlucky with the header. Shame about the penalty, though quite a good save. He'll be back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PENKAAA Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Could go both ways from now on. Either the penalty affects him and his season tails off, or it spurs him on to keep up his good form and it doesn't affect him. IMO i don't think it will affect him much, i reckon he's got a strong mindset, knows exactly the situation and will just push it out of his mind.

Dave Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Not worried at all tbh, could easily have scored a hat-trick today. If he wasn't getting into the positions then I'd be concerned. Cisse was far less involved today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 He's struggling with Cisse at the moment - he shouldn't have taken the penalty Should have been Shola's Think he needs to start, then have Cisse come on for him, play 442 in some games not all. Mix it up a bit and let them find their partnership naturally rather than force it upon them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Like Shola said after the game, Demba looked so confident when he picked up the ball. Poor pen like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 him and cisse looks like a partnership that will need a bit of work on the training ground. cisse's stuck up top, presumably because his sprightly, busy nature enables him to play on the shoulder, but he just ends up fighting for long balls and holding it up with his back to goal. Ba has more of the presence needed to do that. instead we see Ba dropping back and heading out wide, whereas i'd prefer to see him in the box. let cisse, who is quick and bright when he roams, take up those positions instead. the partnership also needs more than our lot launching it up to them and hoping the ball falls favourably in good areas, what's usually called 'percentage football'.

Sifu Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Not one of his best games today but having the ball launched towards his chest instead of to his feet was always going to be a detriment to his play like. Got to say though, I'm not worried about Ba whatsoever. He'll be fine. On another note, the Cissé-Ba partnership will click in time like, it still needs to develop and that can properly happen if we play it on the deck with a lot of passing and movement. This will get the best out of them, long balls for one to chest down to the other simply won't work most of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will get the best out of them, long balls for one to chest down to the other simply won't work most of the time. Agree with this. Think it would help if the midfield were a bit higher, because as it is, Ba is having to come deeper and deeper to retrieve the ball and is taking himself out the game by doing so.

toontownman Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Belting interview from Demba and Shola http://www.espn.co.uk/espn/sport/video_audio/139323.html?CMP=OTC-RSS;genre=1;sport=3 Does it feel like a win though... Err no... no not really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Demba well gutted, at the end you could tell he was devastated that he missed the pen. No wonder the pen was poor, he changed his mind at the last moment Still, hope he does not let it get to him, the guy is still immense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Was hoping Shola would give him an encouraging hand on the shoulder there at the end, Demba looked so sad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
