Gabriel Obertan signs for Anzhi


Recommended Posts

Was raging when I saw the team but he had a decent game overall.

 

go back and watch the 15 minutes leading up to their goal, he was wandering around like he'd ran a marathon

 

one very good cross disguised a poor-average performance imo, he's fucking shit and needs peddling

He isn't very good and if this was McClaren putting him in the shop window, I wouldn't be disappointed, but I don't hate him being in the squad. He does have his moments. There was one today and then he should have been withdrawn.

There was a classic moment when Wijnaldum was bursting through the middle. We were 3 against 2. Obertan on one side and Cisse on the other. Both would be through on goal. Ball goes out to Obertan, ends up back with our defence somehow.

Typical tbh. He actually winged in a couple of decent crosses today for the first time I can remember since we signed him, but that piece of play shows he still has a heart the size of a pea. Totally bottled it and went backwards rather than go for the kill.

That was Sissoko's fault taking the wrong option then laying it off poorly. Cisse was the right pass.

Him and Haidara had so many meaningless short passes between them that they ended up getting crowded out in a corner. Very worried about the lack of quality down that left hand side, defensively and in offense :lol:

You can tell he even surprised himself with that cross. Gave him a short confidence boost until he slice one about 10 yards wide :lol:

At least he's attempting to play round pegs in round holes. All these fans going today will no doubt support him as that's what they do and why they go right.

Not really considering Obertan is a right winger.

 

Round peg would have been Aarrons.

WTF is going on here.  Obertan actually links up well with Haidara and the left and created some plays

In contrast, Janmaat and Sissoko did absolutely fuck all on the right and failed some simple link ups

 

Comments here are fucking harsh / biased.  Obertan is shit but no way he should be criticized for today's performance.

It was more the case that the closer he got to goal, the more he slowed up and as usual allowed the defenders to get between him and the goal. Seen it so many times before.

Imagine looking at that game and thinking Sissoko did absolutely fuck all :spit:

Part from the assist which was a fantastic cross he was useless. Did nothing in the first half, should have been putting pressure on Cedric after he was warned about a 2nd yellow.

 

He also refused to help defend for the Southampton second goal, stood there watching Southampton players run past him.
