TicTacWoe 0 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Spurs 19 shots (8 on target) Blackburn 0 shots (0 on target) That is abysmal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the first time since 2004 that a team in the PL have failed to have a single shot in a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 First game since 2004 that a side hasn't had a single shot of any description. Just bemusing. Did Blackburn plan for this match at all? Like NJS said, it's as if Blackburn wrote this game off before they kicked a ball. I reckon I've seen teams beaten heavily putting in a better performance than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12460 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Weren't the Mackems the last team that didn't?, I'm sure I can remember them getting absolutely battered by either Arsenal or Liverpool sometime around then, they might have managed 1 shot mind.

Like NJS said, it's as if Blackburn wrote this game off before they kicked a ball. I reckon I've seen teams beaten heavily putting in a better performance than that. They're just dreadful. Getting rid of Jones, Nelson, Samba and sidelining Givet, Salgado and others cut out the heart of that team and they have a manager who clearly hasn'y got a clue. If it wasn't for their one decent signing (Yakubu) they'd be well below Wolves already. At the end of the game Pederson was laughing with his old mate Friedel, you'd never think the team he plays for is about to be relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Don't recall it being as one-sided as you're trying to make out tbh. Was 1-0 and we had chances, until Taylor went off and they scored 2 in the dying minutes. Not like Ryan Taylor will be playing either way. They're in a good place at the moment, we've just had a strange loss but I don't think one game will kill the mentality of the players. During the 1st half they ripped through us at will and could have scored a few if not for Sturridge's shite finishing. We're suscepitble to certain teams if theyset up right against us. Hopefully Chelsea will fuck up somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TicTacWoe 0 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Good lord Steve Kean's post match interview, what a fucking mong coming out with gems like "we have to look at the positives" and something like "our passing was poor which prevented us from creating more chances" (how about even one chance?) and finally "we've had monumental results this season including back to back clean sheets" Wowzers, back to back clean sheets!!!!

Hopefully Chelsea will fuck up somehow Sturridge could have scored 3-4 in the first half - and thats leaving out a few 20-yarders top strikers would have scored on also. Our defense had the red carpet rolled out - as usual when people leave out the side passes and just attack us head-on. Play through our midfield and its mayhem back there, Colo cant be 3 places at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 From what I've heard, Blackburn were unlucky not to score: only the woodwork and a display of excellent goalkeeping kept them at bay, having had numerous efforts on target. Ah, wait a minute, no. Blackburn didn't have a shot on target, I kid you not. That's the first game since 2004 that a side hasn't had a single shot of any description.

Craig 6307 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Blackburn & QPR will surely follow Wolves into the Championship. Villa haven't been bad enough to go down IMO and Bolton & Wigan's recent results have been pretty remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa haven't been bad enough to go down IMO and Bolton & Wigan's recent results have been pretty remarkable. I hope you're right. Wigan have been amazing lately and Bolton have been decent too (in an incredibly unlucky season for them with injuries and muamba). Wolves, Blackburn and QPR deserve to go down largely down to a series of poor decisions in terms of managerment/signings etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
