Unbelievable Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Infuriating the seemingly lack of effort on show like, for a team that isn't exactly swimming in trophies. Looked like we couldn't give a f*** for the last 15 minutes tbh. Disappointing. What? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 It was expected and all that stuff, but I'm always upset when we go out of cups. Understand that a lot of posters brush this result off like dirt off their shoulders, but to me it just admits we're not a trophy-winning side. Bit more belief and I don't see why we couldn't have won this cup caring about the League Cup just isn't cool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I know there's a point to be made about avoiding injuries but I don't think our best players have to be wrapped in cotton wool quite so much. What the fuck were we going to do if we had got into the Champions League, just hoy the second string out against Barcelona cos the players can't cope? Meanwhile Frank Lampard routinely plays about 60 games a season for ten years straight and looks fresh as a daisy at the end of them all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMcQuillan Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Cisse scoring was good, and Tavernier looks like he will make it. Vuckic, Gosling and Marveaux though? Nah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Oh well good account of themselves from the b-side, they just had a bit more cutting edge Eliot - 8 no complaints Tav - 7 good game for him imo impressed me Willo - 6 imo nearly conceeded a pen, decent but second goal CBs should be doing better Collo - 6 didn't quite look full speed imo Perch - 6 solid but not much going forward Tiote - 8 ran our side till he got a yellow Gosling - 4 didn't do anything, should have scored Marveaux - 5 has lovely touch, some nice dribbles but didn't do enough with it Obertan - 5 didn't think he was dreadful, did decent defensive work and thought one of his crosses was unfortunate not to find someone, but also lots of his usual infuriating stuff Vuckic - 5 Poor first half, but much improved second and unfortunate not to score Shola - 7 solid but disappeared late on, felt he deserved more after he looked on form a lot Cisse - 7 Good goal, seemed full of energy and very unlucky not to score a spectacular second Ferguson - 6 very good for goal but other than that disappeared a bit. Still promising Bigi - 7 filled Tiote's shoes fine for last period Lets us concentrate on the europa league better but still feels a shame. least we gave a good account of ourselves but now gutted we didn't beat the wankers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Positives Cisse scored Tav looks a player Colo and Tiote get 70 mins Bigi looked assured again Fergie looks sharp Elliot is better than his Forest showing Negatives Gosling and Haris are not good enough. Marv whilst tidy, is not going to challenge first 11 We are out!!!!!!!! Result aside I'm surprisingly bouyed by that performance Defo. Tiote looked on it too, should be sharp for the weekend.

Dave Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 If it was the choice of playing stronger teams in this or the Europa League I'd want the latter tbh. Yes this is probably 'easier' to win, but Europe is what we worked all last season for. We're out of this at the first hurdle, so I'll be disappointed if it doesn't allow us to take the EL a little more seriously from now on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Gosling needs to give a call to Nolan and ask to how to be pretty shite but still score goals. He's getting to the similar positions all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Cisse scoring was good, and Tavernier looks like he will make it. Vuckic, Gosling and Marveaux though? Nah. Tavernier has come on in leaps and bounds in only a few games. His attacking play is already twice as good as Simpson I was actually embarrassed for Danny, watching somewhere, as Tavernier demonstrated superior crossing aged 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Disappointing that we only scored once against a poor defence. We had quite a few chances. Special mention for Bigi, who I thought played with great confidence and authority from the minute he came on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I'm left a lot more annoyed after losses in PL tbh. Don't have any real faith in us in the cups. Bit sad. Same. I dont think its a defeatist attitude, but after twenty years of seeing us choke on big cup occasions, I have little faith left that we could win a cup. The only way it would happen is from a very favourable set of cup draws. The club historically simply doesn't have a big game winning mentality. If I'd been offered a win tonight or a win at Reading, it would be the latter every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Thank fuck that's over, mickey mouse cup competition. Rather we concentrated on Europe. We'll put an even weaker team out than this, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Don't think Marveaux was that bad. We'd have looked a lot worse without him there in terms of keeping the ball. Looks like he has no idea what his position is however and certainly didn't offer enough of a threat going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Was impressed with Tav and Fergie oh and Cisse is back, i don't care that he missed merely trying something like that and hitting the bar says to me his confidence is back. Happy with second half. ( which has been pretty much been the story all season long) disappointing to go out of competition but there's positives we can take from the game. Wish Bigi and Ferguson started over Gosling and Obertan but what can you do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Scouse cunts are going through. They'll probably be utterly shit all season again and win it again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit more belief and I don't see why we couldn't have won this cup caring about the League Cup just isn't cool. You can understand their thinking though. The odds of extra fix + inj affecting our league form is much higher than us winning the thing. Not a cup winning mentality ofcourse, but potentially the right mentality to maintain our league standing/status. Which is obviously seen as more important.

Guest bimpy474 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Gosling needs to give a call to Nolan and ask to how to be pretty shite but still score goals. He's getting to the similar positions all the time. I was thinking before he seemed to be trying to channel Nolan with some of his attempts towards goal. Tbf he wasn't passed to on three occasions when free, so getting into the space was ok. One where Shola should have let it go really iritated me.

Elliottman Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Tavenier was really impressive, I couple of Naive errors but he'll iron those out with experience. Left with no options at time too when Obertan was stood still on the spot just looking at him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Gosling, Shola, Williamson and Obertan wouldn't be missed if they never played for us again and might free up games for other players with potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
