Jill Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Also... could the commentator have confused Ba and Cisse more times? Honestly, man. Early on when Cisse touched it he said "Ba.........................is on the bench tonight" but after that he never even tried to correct himself.

Ah well there you go. They do balance out somewhere along the line. It's like us winning the non-penalty at Old Trafford last season; immediately made me think of Howard blatantly tripping Shearer in 03/04 (for one thing).

It was a decision based on morality, rather than the rulebook. Tbh i was just as annoyed with the second one; where Fellaini hacked Williamson late. There was a clear advantage there, too.

Guest bimpy474 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 If we play 4-4-2 like we did tonight then we can stick with it. Cabaye pushed forward and didn't sit back alongside Perchie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 "And for the second time on Merseyside this week, you have to say justice has been done... One more trivial than the other, blah blah blah". What the fuck is the commentator thinking? This was in hugely bad taste btw, wouldn't be surprised if people pick up on it. Alan Parry is a tit though, it's constant verbal diarrhea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 So much irritates me with commentators these days. The incessant clambering for an artsy cliche is my latest annoyance. Especially when one turns out like that, which is as cringeworthy as it is unnecessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 We got battered in the first half, completely transformed in the second. Both goals were very poor keeping from Harper. The ball was definitely over and Fellaini wasn't offside but on the flipside the decision to pull the ball back when we had 3 on 1 was fucking ridiculous. I reckon there would have been a riot had we scored from that. Amazing game though and we had our chances as much as they had theirs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 3 clean through on goal. Im certain the ref blew just to calm it down as he was completley confused with the disallowed goal . If we had raced on and scored it would have been one of the most controversial goals in recent memory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't seem 4-4-2 to me till Shola came on though tbh, i saw alot of Jonas alongside Perch and Ba and Cisse didn't seem to be a strict front 2. I do agree though, as long as Cabaye and Ben Arfa have freedom the problems i have with 4-4-2 go away, but quite frankly if Cabaye and Ben Arfa have freedom it isn't a 4-4-2 anyway.

Guest Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 If we'd scored from the ensuing counter-attack it would have been the cheekiest goal ever. Possibly the cheekiest since Gravesen nearly snapped Bernard's leg before Rooney scampered down our left and setting them up to win a penalty against us.

He said you can't have the tail wagging the dog, as in the players deciding what they should do even though they're told to do it. As if this is still going on btw.

QBG Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Absolutely shambolic first half, brilliant second. Ba superb, with Shola a towering behemoth for the second goal. Impressed with Anita for the most part, and Cabaye looked back to some sort of form in the second half. A positive result that we can hopefully build on and gain some momentum.

eliassenfredrik Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Well that was interesting. First half was pathetic. Hard to watch etc. Second half was much better, mainly due to attitude, Ba on and some positional changes. The most noticeable difference was our pressure when defending. Two or three players stressing and closing down the ball carrier is indeed effective. Observations: I've seen people mention Williamson and Perch as Championship players. I agree with the former. Perch is obviously a midfielder. He's excellent at closing down players and his distribution is tidy. The most important detail about him playing there though, is that he's allowing Cabaye to do his job. Which is quite essential to us not being raped (see first half). Harper should retire. So slow. Almost looks like he doesn't care. And his time wasting on goal kicks is infuriating. I haven't seen Elliott that much, but surely he can't be worse than Harper? I'd give him a chance after watching that today. Like an old lady on both goals. Anita is class on RB. Santon is a very good player. I think he's a decent defender and wonderful going forward. Our best player today, alongside Ba. HBA was a magician at times today, although he made some poor decisions on a couple of occasions. Cissé is still quite shit in this campaign. Poor in the air today, and wasteful finishes. Ba was lively and took the one goal really well. Expect more from him vs Norwich. We are obviously unable to play two good halves. Shola. Chest. 2-2 feels good man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
