Kid Dynamite 5917 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Only 3 who look worth keeping out there today. Smith should be on the P45 list along with Barton. Given make some great saves but hes also made some shit mistakes this season too. Turns out Cacapa really is shit. Owen, 18 touches in 80 mins Knee jerk? No, cos its been happening for 4 months now!

Glen 0 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Smith is just dire. He's a mercenary, not a footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM4 0 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Would have added Roze put gone seriously off him since his pussy display at Stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombadil 0 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 To be honest, the whole team were a shambles. Well done to Smith for managing to stand out from the rest though - by being even poorer than the others. Nothing new there then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 16667 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 For me Owen should never wear the top again. Never looks interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishMag 0 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I'm sure Capello took out his notebook and put a big red X through the name Alan Smith. Would do the same with Owen but he's and England player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Fucking embarassments. Apart from Steven Taylor. Who is a monster. He's a fucking loon. Did you see him storming into Man U's area for a header and connecting with his shoulder? (then failing to get back) Liability if you ask me.

Happy Face 29 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Fuck that. He's the best we've got. The number of times you see him vacate his position completely is frightening. The glorious goal line clearances and making sure he's the last off the pitch EVERY FRIGGING GAME make up for dropping the whole team in the shit time and time again though.

@yourservice 67 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 N'Zogbia and probably Given,the rest away! simple as,not good enough and never will be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5917 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 So taylor was shit and given was superb? were you watching the same game? Taylor was last man on about 5 occasions and saved our skin. Given should have saved the first goal and then managed to hit a clearance straight off his own man. And despite the shit pass from cacapa to enrique, given had plenty of time to get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's been class long term. Taylor was equally valuable at a few goal line clearances tonight. But he's been a liability for a long time.

Kid Dynamite 5917 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 Given has been class long term, but this season has been one of his wortst in memory. Its no good making 2 good saves if you then go and let an easy shot in. Taylor gets too much shit. Name a better CB his age in the league. Hes still learning and hes a better CB than Lyons ex captain, a Czech international and a Senegalese international so he aint doing too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(but if we get a new manager , we get a new goalkeeping couch , yeah ?) maybe we should put Harper in goal (I think he's a good keeper ... he also used to look like Shay so maybe nobody would notice. then we bring Shay outfield for a spot of kicking the ball , maybe instead of Alan Smith, would anyone spot the difference there?)

Happy Face 29 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Given has been class long term, but this season has been one of his wortst in memory.... Because the players in front of him this year don't have a clue how to play as a unit....especially when one of them is still on the half way line jogging back from one of his jaunts because he LOVES to score so much.

Noelie 103 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Enrique had a half-decent game today against Man.U which in my mind is proof once more of how clueless Allardyce was in playing Zoggy out of position at left-back after paying out good money for enrique.

marci 0 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Taylor was last man on about 5 occasions and saved our skin. Credit for that, but he always seems to back off against a striker, always looking to block the shot, not to prevent it, thats a bad philosophy.

Chaser 1055 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I thought Enrique was very suspect to begin with but grew in confidence. Taylor MOM from our point of view. All the rest diabolical and by far the worst was Owen. (Even worse than Cacapa) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
