Gaz Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Krul hoofs the ball to Shola who loses the ball Everton clear the ball. Same again, and again for 95mins.................................................................... The one or two times we actually got it down to Marveaux or Sammy we actually looked like doing something. Shola centre forward and Cisse right wing, UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

Karjala Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Our 5 wins: Spuds 2-1 (First game of season) Norwich 1-0 West Brom 2-1 (Cisse wonder goal) Wigan 3-0 (Dubious pen and red after 13) QPR 1-0 (Shola's once a season piece of magic) Dear me.

duo Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Ref killed the game tonight - BUT that aside we still lack any shape. I pray we get another striker cause Shola has to be one of the most frustrating players. Was like a statue tonight - he's unbelievably lazy just doesn't move and I lost count the number of fouls he gave away. We also imo need another creative force in midfield - there was just nothing there tonight. We had so much wasted space in the middle of the park with no one there to take advantage. Finally please god let us get a quality CB - every time Williamson gets the ball some calamity happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those passing moves between Pienaar, Baines, Fellaini and Jelavic were happening in open play, although granted the ref did make their job easier. I'm just saying what Karjala just said in a different way, we're over-reliant on players having a good day whereas teams like Everton could probably carry Pienaar/Fellaini having an off day.

alexf Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Christ I didn't realise we had only lost 2 pre-Cabaye injury.

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Seething after that, not been so angry after a match for a long time. Mainly because Shola inexcusably played 90 despite looking comatose after half an hour. There's no plan there at all, it's all about hoping for individuals, why the hell we didn't give Marveaux more of the ball was beyond me, he was our only threatening player and yet completely bypassed him for the majority of the match.
