colinmk Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 He's low on confidence and snatching at shots. Still a quality player and will be again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Aye he snatched at two rush of blood on the last one but was denied by two great save today too, the 2nd save was world class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Not a problem at all today IMO (late shot over aside). If we'd continued to feed him like we had up to half time, he'd have scored at least one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 2 of his chances were cracking saves. That low Debuchy cross was a lot more difficult than it looked, their 'keeper was out like a shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Missed 3 good chances. (Although, that header he couldn't have done much more with.) Fucking hell man, we need him back as soon as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to turn on our own players, but to suggest the one striker we depend upon to fire us to safety missing four big chances in a match we eventually lose against relegation rivals is "not a problem at all" is a bit odd..

Well obviously I'd have rather he scored those chances, but apart from the one he blasted over (that I acknowledged in my post) I don't really see what else he could have done on the others. Header was a magnificent save, contact on the volley was probably too perfect and the cross from Debuchy was smothered well. He didn't score, but it doesn't mean he was poor. Sometimes you've just got to admit that the opposition goalkeeper had a great game. The real problem was how easy he had it in the second half.

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Also the fact he played more on the wing in that second half is a joke, his movement was brilliant in the first and he looked very threatening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you've just got to admit that the opposition goalkeeper had a great game. The real problem was how easy he had it in the second half. The volley and the header were instinctive, first touch finishes indicative of the kind of striker he is. I think maybe another (type of) striker would have controlled the ball for the volley to give himself more time. Both finishes were straight at the 'keeper though, whether that is unlucky or not I don't know, but last season he didn't miss many of those and they would have gone straight in the top corner. The one on one after that excellent cross from Debuchy I feel he should definitely have done better as he had plenty of time. Yes, Frederici came out early, but he could have slipped it past him, chipped it over him or even took the ball around him. The chance in the dying seconds of the game was just a terrible lack of composure. Put it this way, I don't think Ba would have been so "unlucky" today and would probably have got away with at least one goal against these. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cisse was a bit unlucky today but his head never went down to his credit. However, the fact we've got to put out main CF out on the wing for 5/10 minutes to give Shola a rest is embarrassing.

thenige Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Played well today, on another day could have easily had three. Really disappointed how he was shifted out wide 2nd half to accommodate fucking Shola mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I know it's harsh on him but if he doesn't score against Villa then it'll be 3 winnable games in a row in which he hasn't scored. He'll be needing to make it up somewhere down the line and the games aren't getting much easier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
