Romey 1878 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Jags, Stones and Barkley all looked like they were carrying hangovers from the international break. I love Nais but I'm surprised he lasted until half time. Could have been subbed after 20 minutes. Howard not directly to blame for any of the goals but a quality keeper would have got a lot closer, not fallen over too soon on the 1v1 and probably have kept us in the game. Barry wass well off the pace, Lennon tracked back well but didn't offer a great deal going forward. The only person who comes out of this with his reputation improved is big Rom. Deserved a goal today. Martinez needs to look at his tactics. We need a left winger. Or play Mirallas for more than 30 seconds We can't play more than one winger at once, don't you two know anything?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gethinO Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Please please let this be Howard's last season. Has someone told him that a goalkeeper needs to dive the opposite direction of the ball? What is he doing committing so early? He's the easiest goalkeeper ever to score against in 1 V 1 situations. The third one was terrible. Any decent keeper would have saved it. The more I see the 1st I'm not convinced either. Not that I would expect him to save it as it was right in the corner but why dive completely to the other side before he even made contact with the shot? We need a new number 1 asap. Had enough of him. markjazzbassist and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 There's not a lot to say about our performance yesterday, so I'll keep it short. It was shit and gutless. There's also no point going through every players performance either because I'll just be repeating myself over and over, and I can't be arsed with that, so I'll just pick a few out. Howard - Loves diving the wrong way, doesn't he?! Coleman - Can someone please get this lad a footballing brain for Christmas? On two occasions he charged after a ball he was never going to win and inevitably lost out. Did he learn? Nope, he proceeded to do it again and it led directly to us conceding the opener. At least he was bothering to put challenges in though I suppose. Naismith - Please, please, please stop playing him out wide. Especially not on Galloway's side. My sanity is suffering. Lukaku - The only player to come out of yesterday with any praise. He was a one man team from start to finish. He put himself about and bullied Smalling and Jones to within an inch of their lives. Smalling in particular was shat on repeatedly. He couldn't handle him at all. Be that on the floor or in the air, Rom won the duel 9 times out of 10. Unfortunately, we didn't get any players around him to work off his excellent work. Our only game plan was to just hit long to him and hope something came off because our midfield were sat in the dressing room for yesterday's game... My bad, they were actually out there, it was just that each and every one of them was absolutely shite . markjazzbassist, Matt and Blue 250 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Howard did pretty well to get out of the way of Rooneys shot for the third, those balls can't half sting if the hit you markjazzbassist, Matt, Romey 1878 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rusty747 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 January mega bid for Butland anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Na no point spending money on a keeper who is below Time level. May as well promote a U21. We need to find a hidden gem somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 was away on a golfing weekend and missed all sport - I feel completely knocked out from too much walking and far too much beer. Pleased that Rom showed a good level of intent - 2 games on the bounce... prove me wrong lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
