Skirge Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 It was a good free kick man. We dont HAVE to blame someone. It was a fkn straight ball dreadful freekick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Him and Willo were brilliant again. Until that freekick Have to see it again but to me it looked like Santon was supposed to be marking Giroud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebellious Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I blame Tiote for his brainless challenge but it was poor marking. I blame the ref as Anita was fouled 30 seconds before that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 It was a good free kick man. We dont HAVE to blame someone. This. If that'd been Cabaye onto Remy it'd be a brilliant bit if play. It's horrible to defend against crosses from that angle, when you put a ball of that quality in as well, there's not much you can do.

Barnes23 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I thought Colo was great today. Made some crucial blocks/interceptions in the first half in particular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Santon was at fault for the goal. He was nowhere near Giroud when he makes the header. Kind of hope Krul could do better too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody said he was a s**** player, but nice try. f***ing ridiculous if Santon was marking Giroud, by the way. Beyond a joke. Not exactly those words but you had written him off few weeks ago. He's been decent lately considering we couldn't afford to play him against most strikers in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye - obviously we don't know what the instructions were but as they lined up to defend the free kick it looked to me like Giroud was Santon's man.

Cronky Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Willo was marking Mertesaker. Giroud was in between Colo and Santon and neither took any responsibility. I think Santon as the man behind Giroud was in the better position to defend but I'd also question Colo's leadership in that situation. It was a good free kick but terrible that no defender got within a foot of Giroud and he was just able to stroll on to the ball. If Willo had been one of the defenders he'd have grabbed hold of Giroud and stuck to him like a limpet. It's what street-wise defenders do and with the pair of them being so close it's difficult for a ref to work out who's doing what. It was always inevitable that as soon as a goal gets scored and Willo is within five yards of the situation, that he's going to get the blame. But in reality he was trying to clear up other people's mess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, either Santon's lost his man or Colo never had him in the first place - not great either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMc Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Hoddle was saying we were set up zonally and they were marking space. Giroud made the run and no one reacted ( bar Mike who was too far away to make it). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 First things first and Williamson was marking Mertesacker, and should be. Tallest versus tallest and all that. The rest was pretty poor setup in such a defensive setup. To me it looked like Coloccini was marking giroud, but it looked like it was zonal aswell. Colos gesture after the goal made it look like he was not to blame about it but I don't really know, think he was the closest one, and it made sense that it was him. Mostly because, who else was he marking? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I've just had a look at it again and the only place where it looks zonal is around Giroud because neither Colo nor Santon were dealing with him. The other three attackers in the line were all being marked. I wasn't a defender but to me it makes no sense to go zonal when the ball's going to be played in behind you like that.
