Tsunami Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 JDT missed a sitter on his debut and never really recovered; he'd showed in preseason he could play. The injury to Shearer and the loss of Sir Les was pretty devasting and placed far too much pressure on JDT. We really were unlucky the way it all happened. Having said that, agreeing to sell Sir Les was a massive mistake in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I wish I'd seen Shearer and Ferdinand's partnership. I also wish striker partnerships were still a thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I wouldn't say it was a partnership in the sense that Beardsley and Cole was or even Shearer and Bellamy for that matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I wouldn't say it was a partnership in the sense that Beardsley and Cole was or even Shearer and Bellamy for that matter. True, it was just a mattter, much like a lot of the players under KK, of them being good players and simply performing. Simple game really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I wouldn't say it was a partnership in the sense that Beardsley and Cole was or even Shearer and Bellamy for that matter. Yeah, my memory of it was two good strikers in their own right with brilliant supply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 A partnership in the sense that if one of them wasn't there the other one probably was. I can hardly even remember them together tbh. Cole and Beardsley was far more memorable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 A partnership in the sense that if one of them wasn't there the other one probably was. I can hardly even remember them together tbh. Cole and Beardsley was far more memorable. Funnily enough, one of the best partnerships Shearer struck up was with Duncan Ferguson in that season SBR went for two target men strikers. He went quite direct after taking over from Gullitt to make the most of the players he had at his disposal, and those two really seemed to thrive off each other.

Guest Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I remember our kick-offs for a spell were Shearer, Speed & Ferguson out on the touchline with us aiming diagonal balls from the start in their direction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a suffix for a popular video website showing Big Duncs volley against Manchester United. ((watch?v=07tOeo16wK4). Loved watching that team.

Kanj Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hope Jonjo has a good season and makes the England team for the WC - need his passing in the team. Would be awesome if Lascelles kicks on and even gets in too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Infuriating for the move that led to the penalty. Really can’t warm to him despite his obvious ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember that I must admit, but I thought he was one of our better players today. I think he and Merino will make a very decent pairing in time. The key to the their play - and arguably the entire team - will be that upgrade to Ayoze. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key to the their play - and arguably the entire team - will be that upgrade to Ayoze. Didn’t get up to support our initial attack then didn’t get back, at all, just stood there pointing at someone else to cover our right side and then threw a little hissy when we ended up on the back foot. Not sure he’ll ever cut this stuff out, so I guess I’ll just have to accept it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Noticed Tadic strolling past him in the first half and getting a shot off. Merino and Hayden next week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Merino just looks so much better than Shelvey when he's on. Merino seems to always know what's going on around him, whereas Shelvey seems to get caught in possession too often and/or tries passes that just are never likely to come off.

JCONA Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Thought he was really good yesterday, especially his passing. I'm not a fan of him really because of his past, but he seems to be trying harder for the prem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Yeah I thought he was fine although I agree with Rich on his marking for their second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I like Hayden (and he obviously scored) but we lack too much up top and on the wings to not be playing both Merino and Shelvey imo. I think they’ll both be back in for Palace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
