Guest Geordiesned Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 And there's me getting laughed at for not wanting to play our best players. Just the 2 important injured. Maybe they should stop training too. Would the performance/result be any different if we'd have played more kids? No. Is the Southampton game massively affected? Yes. Players can get injured at any time. The suggestion that you should leave players out in case they get injured is completely fucking ridiculous tbh.

Ketsbaia Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 That performance was shit. Embarassing, once again. I really cant see when this shit will end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geordiesned Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 It really is turgid shite this season. No movement. Same pathetic set pieces. No imagination. The reserves and bairns not good enough. Very depressing watching us at the moment. We've morphed into bloody sunderland! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Don't think too much can be read into that game. It's a lacklustre competition and we are in a particularly drab group. Small crowd, virtually meaningless game, crap competition... not far off bring a testimonial in terms of an event. The whole thing was an exercise in going through the motions. Why pick that side then, when he hasn't all season? Why the change in selection if we were merely going through the motions? Why risk the injuries we've now picked up? We can't have it both ways. He didn't pick a side to do a job tonight IMO. They should have battered the opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Sammy scored a cracking goal against Scunny with his right foot. Why, now, does he refuse to use it? So one-footed it's ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Didnt see any of it but can imagine it quite well. One guy with the ball and everyone else standing around with hands in their imaginary pockets waiting for the ball to miraculously end up in the Maritimo goal?

Players can get injured at any time. The suggestion that you should leave players out in case they get injured is completely f***ing ridiculous tbh. Would Ben Arfa be fit for the next 2 or 3 games if he wasn't playing tonight? Of course he would. When was he last inured in training? Ba went down inured at one point but luckily he was OK.

I don't think the players shared this objective, they're not the ones being blamed for our poor form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistle17 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Wanted to tear my eyes out watching that filth. It was so painfully predictable that they'd score. Waste of £10, and the shockingly low attendance says it all about what people are thinking now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 "We wanted to qualify, so we have done the job. The last 20 minutes of the game, Maritimo had nothing to lose and we were poor in that period, I am not going to cloud over that. "But to some extent, we didn't have enough threat up the top of the pitch. We lost Hatem and then we lost Papiss - we lost Shola [Ameobi] yesterday - and we didn't really have enough pressure up there that could cause them problems. "They had nothing to lose, so they came on to us, and that was a little bit disappointing, that period. "But I am delighted we are through. It's very important for us, for our feeling because up until that last 20 minutes, we have been excellent in this tournament, so I am not going to get carried away by that.

Beren Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 The last 20 minutes was like being back at school and waiting for the bell to go so you could go home. Getting virtually no enjoyment from watching us atm, it's fucking tedious. Absolutely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
