Cronky 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. In possession, he seemed to slow down the momentum of our attacks at times.

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 s**** 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. Yeah, that's what I meant. He gets into great scoring positions all the time but really needs to score those as he is basically useless in general play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 You'd have thought there was only one team playing tonight, based on the coverage btw. Thought the referee was biased in their favour too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garth Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Thank f*** that's over, mickey mouse cup competition. Rather we concentrated on Europe. We'll put an even weaker team out than this, man. No way, I think the players themselves would probably want Europe, more than this mickey mouse cup. Pardew himself said this was fourth in his priorities as competitions goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, i was doing my pieces at his passing, its just so poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Can't be fussed with ratings, but may as well do a list of positives to make me feel better: - Tavernier is developing really nicely. Full-back is a very difficult position, but he is really doing well overall. - Elliot - another few top stops, good command of his area, superb at coming off his line - Tiote - always loves to beast Rooney in the middle of the park (and remind Rooney he isn't a midfielder, or if he is, he isn't on 's level. Great sight to see. - Shola, lead the line well for about 70 minutes then looked pretty jaded/fed up. - Papisto! Forget the goal, really energetic all round play. Where's this little chap been, eh! Welcome back fella. A bit concerned with Vuckic. He had a decent moment here or there, and I do understand why Vuckic tried him up front, because he doesn't really work anywhere else with his profile of skills/attributes. Not sure he works up there either at this level. He needs a lot more time on the ball than he has. He is still only 20 mind. Marv and Ober were alright. Solid displays, if nothing special. Gosling... well. I said this would be something to cheer me up so I shall say no more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novocastrian 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 f*** 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. This. Even Championship teams are dong it! Wolves put out a second string and got battered by Chelsea with Torres, Mata et al!! A bit of ambition please, we can rest the big players when we really do have a fixture pile up a the end of the season. The way we are waving the white flag in the cups it's unlikely that will happen. The youngsters will get more benefit by being eased in alongside the first teamers in ones and twos, not mobbed up as a group with two or three first teamers alongside them.

Mikky 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. This Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Didn't look particularly bothered in the last 15 IMO. As if we were 2-1 up. I must have been watching a different match to you. I thought our attitude in the second half was spot on, even after we conceded the second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Elliott - 7.5 - couple of good saves, could do nowt about either goal Tavernier - 6 - decent going forward Coloccini - 5.5 - barely noticable Williamson - 5.5 - same old Perch - 5 - offered nowt at either end Obertan - 6 - looked quite bright for him, always offered himself Gosling - 6 - got in some canny goalscoring positions on/off the ball, not the best on the ball Tiote - 6 - standard feeling his way back perfomance ft. generic booking Marveaux 5 - the old look tidy when in space not under pressure but offer nothing in the final third Ameobi - 6- held it up well in the first in particular Vuckic - 5.5 - poor in the first, bright before he went off Ferguson - 8 - great cameo, showed our other so called name wingers what they should have been doing.
