Re Mole - I'd take this over commentary almost every time

 

:thup:

One of the best things about being a season ticket holder. Not having to listen to pundits, 'experts' and commentators.

 

Listening to most of our fans is much, much worse  :lol:

 

Agree with this.

 

Interesting how few pundits/commentators are liked. I think football fans are a very difficult bunch to please en masse. I guess the commentators/pundits have a lot of fans' dream jobs. Even so, you can tell they're not hired on their skills or knowledge.

 

How, for example, Crooks or Shearer ever got jobs in the media is just staggering and pretty unfair to other people in the industry IMO.

Shearer's crap at it, don't get me wrong, but there's far worse than him.

Looks like the Obertan renaissance is happening :frantic:

 

When? I still find it incredible that he can use his pace to beat a guy, then after he's beaten him suddenly stop to allow the defender to catch back up and dispossess him

 

 

He's looked quite decent in this game tbf. He's finally putting crosses into the box it seems.

I've always said that knowledgeable journalists should be pundits, put the cast of the Football Ramble on sky every week and everyone would have a better time. Punditry on the whole is crap in this country, that said, I've sat in numerous different parts of our ground and the vast majority of our fans know absolutely nothing about football.

At least he passes it to Taylor who can cross it now, when he did it and left it for Simpson it just went from bad to worse. Still, he's figured out something about his pace. Needs to cross it now.

Does it every time too. It's because he has absolutely zero football brain. You just can't teach that at all, he can get more confident, improve at certain parts of his game but his head just doesn't move quick enough with what's happening on the pitch. Makes me so angry to see him messing up the simplest of things and not taking advantage of beating a man

There was a spectacular example of this 5 minutes ago, the guy was on the floor and Obertan still turned back round and passed it towards our half way line.

Agreed. Garth Crooks is shocking.

Doesn't make any difference imo, you don't have to be an actor to be a good film critic. Some critics make a concerted effort not to socialise with the people they criticise, football is the opposite of that.

We simply dont create enough in a 4-4-2.

 

And as for Demba, his first touch :(

 

Indeed. Keeping possession very nicely but it's going nowhere.

 

Surely a personnel issue though? put Hatem and Cabaye in this system instead of Vuckic and Obertan and i don't see it being a problem.

Was the same story last season even with those 2 in the team.
