Monroe Transfer 0 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Not fair to single out a single player, and I appreciate that he was just a sub but Alan Smith's 20 minutes or so were just laughable really. First thing he does is to get himself booked. Beyond predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniffer 0 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 ...and that Guthrie injury/turn over/goal assist. He's actually injured. That's possibly the most embarrassing thing to happen on the pitch for us since Bowyer and Dyer swung handbags. Embarrasing why? If he's injured there's not much he could've done about it, is there?

Guest WDP Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) Never fear Alan Smith is here! Poor Routledge being subbed out. IMO he's put in the effort that loads of other haven't. That's what I said, get in Smith on to save the day Fuck me. As I've said loads of times Guthrie isn't a Premiership footballer, never will be, but he wasn't the only one who was shit. If Hughton comes out with his usual "I can't fault the lads effort and commitment level today" bollocks am ganna kick me telly in.

Guest WDP Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Tiote is starting to get found out tbh Fuck off. Carroll will never make a Championship striker too never mind Premiership, oh aye and Cacapa makes Bobby Moore look like Darren Bradshaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embarrassing because he injured himself by kicking the ground with no other player directly involved. As a result of kicking the ground he turned the ball over and they scored.

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 We look a completely different side from the one that was able to win games a few weeks ago. Yes we're missing a few key players, but that's no excuse, we simply didn't work hard enough today. It's relegation form without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelie 103 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Not pleased Mr. Fish, not pleased at all From Shola's first touch of the ball it seemed pretty obvious we weren't going to win this game. Only good thing was that they didn't score more than three. Very depressing to watch, I've tried to find a supportive suicide club but I can't find any members. Our strength down the wings was like a diluted glass of Bulmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Tiote was once again good defensively, useless offensively. But then he's not an offensive midfielder by trade. Guthrie on the other hand is, and was woeful. Routledge was anonymous for the most of the match and Gutierrez perhaps put more effort in than any other player but was found out more often than not. Aside from a half decent cross he had no end product yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19826 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 worst performance of the season. we've conceded too many points to too many clubs you expect to be around us in the league. it's all very well winning the odd big game against an arsenal or chelsea but we have to improve against the average teams if we're not going to struggle.

Phil 6 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Tiote is starting to get found out tbh Not sure what game you were watching, but I thought he was the best player on the pitch. Tiote likes to play the simple ball, I've never seen him lump it forward. So when he has no options he's not being "found out", but let down by his team mates.

Embarrassing because he injured himself by kicking the ground with no other player directly involved. As a result of kicking the ground he turned the ball over and they scored. Hardly embarrasing. Unfortunate, especially if its a bad injury. Embarrassing is Campbell standing watching the third goal because he is to old and far too slow to compete at this level.

Dr Gloom 19826 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 hopefully this nosedive in form will show ashley that he has to invest in january. he can't gamble again on this players being good enough to keep us up. we're crying out for more creativity in centre mid and some genuine pace and attacking threat up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if it's something psychological. And whether Hughton and his staff - and the captains - are not doing their jobs well enough to sort out this inconsistent attitude towards matches.

It wasn't that he was useless offensively, he just didn't go forward can't remember Makelele making lung busting 50 yard dribbles for Chelsea neither and that's what Chick is there for, but I don't see why it's worth mentioning that seeing as what he did do ensured he was our best player, rightly mentioned by Alan Parry, which is saying fuck all though. I don't know why anyone has any issues with Tiote when there were so many genuinely shit performances from others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why anyone has any issues with Tiote when there were so many genuinely shit performances from others. I don't have any issues with Tiote, I only mentioned him because he was brought up and because I wanted to comment on all of our midfield. He went forward a few times, nothing major. Just because he's a DM doesn't mean he can't produce some attacking threat, either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only issue is with his turning on the spot which is getting more easily read tbf Easier to read and how many times does he lose it? Not many at all. Gary Speed used to lose the ball 15-20 times a game, and he was classed as a "great" looking back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embarrassing is Campbell standing watching the third goal because he is to old and far too slow to compete at this level. Completely odd to even be discussing this, but it's like a boxer knocking himself out with an uppercut. In my book it's embarrassing when a professional football player kicks the ground when trying to control a ball when no other player was involved. He didn't slip, he just kicked the ground, like someone who trips over their own foot while walking. The incident itself was embarrassing enough but to then have the opposition stroll in pickup the ball quickly counter and score is insult to injury. What is unfortunate is that Guthrie played today. Unfortunate for him that he was given a chance for the second week in a row to play in his preferred position and absolutely muffed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima 0 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 If it leads to a goal against us him attempting to be turn and being cheaply dispossessed just once is too many. Which has already happened. The kids a beast but sometimes he needs to know when to make the pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nortoon 0 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Tiote was quite good today and enrique had a great game. The rest were pretty shit with the standouts ameobi jonas and an utterly shit guthrie. Simpson didnt have that bad a game either mind, nor did Routledge.
