Dave Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Another game, another mix of bad misses and horrific offsides despite the lack of quality service. Must do better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Hurts me seeing us get balls in the box and him not busting a nutt to get on the end of them. It doesn't hasppen that often tbf, he looked a bit fed up by the end today, which isn't like him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Went from 13 in 14 last season to 13 in 47 this. Needs to do much better next season. If the service continues to be dire i don't see what he's supposed to do, he's feeding off scraps. We had 1 shot on target today, what would any striker do with that? He isn't the problem, our creativity is dire and continues to be so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that tells me is Fat Sam gets players to fit his style of play and Pardew continues to force his style of play on players who are clearly not suited.

I used him as an example because I love him but there's probably other examples of how bad 8 goals is. Grant Holt has 8 I think.

Cajun Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Went from 13 in 14 last season to 13 in 47 this. Needs to do much better next season. If the service continues to be dire i don't see what he's supposed to do, he's feeding off scraps. We had 1 shot on target today, what would any striker do with that? He isn't the problem, our creativity is dire and continues to be so. We created a pathetic amount as usual but he had that chance practically unmarked and 15 yards out which he hit over, then failed to make a run for the Gouffran cross. That one on target may have been three or even a goal. We aren't creating enough chances but he could have done better with quite a lot this season. The frustrating thing is he is clearly good enough to be taking these but he can be so casual with his finishing he misses easier chances than he scores.

Just seen it again, sorry but there is no way that was difficult to keep down, he had about 5 yards of space, probably wasn't even 15 yards out and enough time to get a decent connection. A player of his ability should be able to get that on target. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was slightly behind him and it hardly caught him by surprise.
