The College Dropout Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Aye, the most annoying thing he does defensively is jog back into position. Often eh just hopes the attack dissipates as the situation often looks potentially dangerous. Colo does it too at times. To be fair to them both, where was Perch??? He still was nowhere to be seen when Anichebe put it in the net. I mean in general play. He was in position for goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ItalianMagpie Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Why did he not square it to Cisse was our chance to grab a point. He's got no left foot to make that square pass. He can make passes with his left easily. Crossing is another matter but I have seen him use his left to pass instinctively. Far more likely that he thought he was going to score. If he's going to be our long term left back then he needs to be coached to get outside and cross with his left far more. I've never been a fan of wrong-footed wide players, but it can work as long as the player can use his wrong foot effectively. At the moment Santon doesn't, he cuts inside 9 times out of 10. Should be back behind after training working on this everyday. His left foot is poor and he knows it hence how he tries his best never to use it. Or maybe he should play at RB? On the other hand, that's his natural role, although everybody, and especially Pardew, seem to have forgotten it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm, while I agree in principle (would have liked to have seen Santon develop as a RB and bring in a LB) we are on the verge of signing a new RB, so I think he will be LB for the foreseeable..

Tiresias Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 If he doesn't play against Brighton it's a full week before Norwich. He's looked tired, it'll be a needed rest hopefully he'll be back to his best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Yup, was shocked he was playing today, even more so when we had two ready made replacements on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I certainly thought he'd be a due a break today. Hopefully he'll be feeling more refreshed by Norwich. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Yep. Stupid that he played today instead of Ferguson (or even Dummet) considering the team that we put out had very little chance of getting a result. Not only is he knackered, but if he's also low on confidence today certainly won't have helped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Looks poor at the moment and well and truly fucked off with the world. The way he fouled out of frustration at Arsenal and then today when he kicked the ball away. Also noticed when he was walking back to the line for one of their corners his head and shoulders were slumped and he was going on about something to himself in a pissed off manner. * Body language expert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I feel a bit sorry for him, he's clearly starting to get hacked off at the shite surrounding him in our team and I can see a red card imminent if he keeps up with these lunges and acts of petulance that we're starting to see.

binnsy Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Was the one player i didn't expect to be playing against Brighton, has looked shattered over xmas and should have been rested for the cup game, could easily have given Dummett a full debut or played fergie.

Legacy Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Earlier when he switched to the right and made a darting run inside into the Brighton half our midfield was no where to be seen, just walking / standing about. Not one player in a black n white shirt made themselves available.. I'd get fed up of that shit too tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't i have seen perform many times without Jonas in front of him he's mentally and physically shot and needs a rest but unfortunately we are in no position to do that.

LRD Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 We needed a reserve LB when Jose Enrique was here, got Santon in as his replacement after he left and are still short of cover in that position for god knows how many windows (since the Championship?). The purple players BS means that we can't afford to rest tired and/or out-of-form players, and if injuries/suspensions strike our back four, the players that come in will be our agony. Fml.
