Match Day Thread Hull City v Portsmouth

Love the bit with their number 17 pointing for one of his teammates to go somewhere, then getting stripped himself down the other side.

 

I used to get so many it took a whole weekend

always thought pandur was really good at claiming crosses

 

Thing is, his punch out (that eventually led to a goal) will be considered dealt with in terms of stats.

Personally, I think there was a lot of defending that could have stopped it before the deflected goal. I dont think he was at fault for the goal. But he absolutely could have caught it.

AWOOGA

 

wasnt trying to indicate anything about that punch

but hes good at catching corners and crosses with a lot of players in the box

 

Allsop doing well again

 

How many other player touches of the ball after the keepers touch will make it no longer the keepers mistake?

 

I dont know. But some would argue it was a good punch out. Well cleared out the box etc. There were plenty of opportunities to defend and clear it. It then took a huge deflection when it was going wide.

Its hardly warranted the overreacting.

 

To add. I think people blaming the punch for the goal are probably just pissed off about the derby goal.

Which he is at fault, albeit it was a slip as opposed a blatant **** up.

 

i posted why is he punching that after he did it

there was enough time from it to the goal to type a message and send, its not the reason we conceded

it was just a bizzare decision to punch it there, regardless of a goal 20 seconds later or not

 

I agree. He could and probably should have just caught it.

 

I heard someone say lundstram and Mcburnie are expected back after the internationals. Anyone heard anything.

Whats actually up with Mcburnie?

 

Haha was going to point that out until I saw you had. Wonder how his fan club on here will defend him still, absolutely ****e keeper and definitely cost us a play off spot with his near post fumbles.

 

Pandur this season has been just as **** as Allsop was.

 

He's barely played for them.

 

Probably for that reason… the reason being he’s dogshit.

I must be missing something - Joseph works really hard, it’s commendable. That doesn’t make him a good player. That’s not the only thing required. His first half the other day was shocking. Gave the ball away numerous times, poor with his back to goal (he always is), ****ed the clearance which led to the goal, missed a sitter. Yes, he scored (despite the fact it was an own goal) but credit where it’s due he got his head to it. He also worked really hard in that first half, as he always does. He was still, in pretty much every measure, very poor. We’re winning at the moment so everyone’s feeling good and it’s become fashionable to praise Joseph. He works his bollocks off no doubt, but that doesn’t give him a free pass. If the results had done a different way in the last 6 games, I don’t think people would be getting carried away with themselves over Joseph’s performances, which again, beyond his work-rate, have shown very little.

 

Who is getting carried away by joseph?

since mcburnie has been out, we've picked up 10 points out of 15 and joseph has played 80% at least of minutes in those games
it takes 11 players to win a football match, no one is pretending joseph is some phenom finisher, but its absolutely indisuputed how influential he has been for us, the way he presses takes a lot of football 'intelligence' you cant just run for running sake

should we start pointing out every single mistake the 'better' players make too?

its a shame he cant score 3 goals a game though

 

You are missing something, he’s arguably our best player at the minute.
