Toonpack 6763 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 After the turn-around last season, I actually hoped against hope, that he was the right man for the job. But, now I am now wondering how much of that was perhaps actually down to Shearer, what we see now is just insipid and uninspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3954 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Looking at the even bigger picture - the slick stuff we played in the first half was a one-off Did exactly the same at Charlton and Fulham - problem is no goals when on top. I'd guess Sheff U was the same except we scored in the first half and them somehow got a winner. It all boils down to missed chances - all this crap about having 4 good strikers next season. I'd keep Owen and ditch the rest (aswell as dyer obviously). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) After the turn-around last season, I actually hoped against hope, that he was the right man for the job. But, now I am now wondering how much of that was perhaps actually down to Shearer, what we see now is just insipid and uninspiring. I've said that on numerous occasions, it can't be coincidence that we played much better and were more successful with Shearer in the management team. I know that comment's like that will likely bring out all the Shearer haters and their ilk but facts is facts.

Renton 17529 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I don't suppose anyone has a screen cap of that shot of the bench with just under 20 mins to go? One nil down and Roeder is sitting there looking utterly perplexed and Pearson is lying book looking like he's trying to get 40 winks, it really summed up our in game management to me. Aye, I thought the same thing. Me too, our management team is an utter disgrace. Mind, the look on Shepherd's face reminded me of the Man City away game last year.

ChezGiven 0 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Totally agree with Happy Face about the football (wankers is a bit harsh). Thought we were the better side, we looked very good in the first half. The problem in the second was Dyer. The little tit. Owen knew how to beat their offside trap and twice showed Milner where to put it and he ended up hitting it long. Few more games together and things would have been different.

We faded badly in the second half, you can't solely blame Dyer for the lack lustre performance of the other 10 players in that half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bollocks. so you're saying that all of the shit games we played this season were because Owen wasn't on the pitch showing the others how to play?

No. I was referring to two occassions last night where Owen was pointing to where the ball should have been played. Not sure how you made that jump.

When Milner was floating in crosses from the right, with his right, Owen was pointing to a short flatter ball inside the box towards the near post which would have allowed him to spring the trap with some ease. No one else saw it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keiron Dyer is shit. I know some of the others are not too good but to hear the pundits go on about how good Dyer is, is a fucking joke. Cost us the goal and nearly cost us a second one.
