It has to be said......the first goal was meant to be a cross. I have watched it over 10 times now, and he's looking towards the players in the box, not the goal. When it goes in, it takes him a few seconds to actually realise what happened.

Second goal was class though.

All I will say to the Mackems regarding tippy tappy.....Barca are the best team in the world, and play what we play. Difference is, them, you and most other clubs have millions to spend on players. We don't have a player that belongs to us with PL experience.

You won, well done. We were better, but didn't score.

Was reading this wondering when the DG dig would come in, didn't take long to find lol.
 
Well I'm sticking to the footy, and while I appreciate the talent of Sinclair, he really does need to stop thinking about himself, and more of the team game, he's becoming very predictable on the left wing, would love to seem him look for the first pass, rather than getting cornered holding onto the ball to long, and then making a forced pass, with the momentum lost. I think both he and Graham have missed a pile of goals this season, and while it's to be expected to some degree, while adjusting to the Premiership standard, he should be up to speed by now!.............

yes far to many chances missed by these two away from home that could possibly cost us in the end....i hope not but it could.......
 
Think you're far too harsh on Graham, but it's no surprise. The guy is class and has already shown that. We're a team that isn't blessed with creating double figure chances, and I can only think of one (the header) where he should have done better.

DPJ: I think you're right about Sinclair being selfish though. He thinks he can waltz through three or more players successfully. Maybe in the Championship but not in the Prem. Bardsley was superb, fair play.
 
I don't think it's harsh to say that Graham and Sinclair have missed a pile of goals this season, because they have, I'm pleased with Graham though, and think that he can be even better with greater service, as his goal against Arsenal proves, it was a great pass from Sig, and he got on the end of it brilliantly, and we need Sinclair to focus on that kind of pass too!..................

dai, i believe you have been lying to everyone how you denied that you said graham was a poor player, not up to PL standards.

you said:

well someone who can see the real picture that we are short on premiership players all over the team, I agree that danny is not premiership class and not very good but he has been our best player.......says a lot that.... some on here cant see the woods for the trees in the hope we will win most of our games when the reality is we will win an odd game here and there and draw some games against good sides, well that wont be enough to keep us from relegation in any shape or form. This is the weakest premiership ever and we are one of the worse sides in it and if we dont take this one chance we have in a weeks time to change things instead of talking about Boddie, Dobbie as if they are good enough to start scoring goals then we will blow it and certain relegation and the slippery slide down the leagues........there is one good thing though......we will be a rich club with millions in the bank because we never used it for what it is intended for......6 players or bust, we are a championship playing club in the premiership that cant last....

....im saying he is one of the players that is poor at his job and our goal tally proves it. he is no better than a championship player and the premiership is a bit to much for him with the system we play
 
graham has been fantastic at home and he has been great at holding the ball up away from home but thats where it stops, he is our main striker but away games he hardly takes a shot on target... when we changed the starting line up at villa we were brilliant and danny played great when he came on, the villa side did not know what hit them......when ever danny starts away from home we struggle to get shots at goal even though we are the better side on the day, its not as if its the odd away game as its every away game bar villa where we played a different starting line up.......coincidence or not i know what i think.....
 
I'm so annoyed that we've already played them at home while we were still getting to grips with/in awe of, the PL. Sunderland were garbage today and we pressed them until their eyes bled. We played all the football and 1/if we took them on at The Liberty next week, I reckon we would put five on them without reply.

They were organised and workmanlike and that is all I have to say about them. If we can't finish above a shambles like that, there's something wrong. 2/Their supporters booed them consistently because they couldn't get the ball and when they did, they couldn't string three passes together. As Harry Redknapp said about so many teams in this league, they just lumped it forward hoping that their front men would latch onto the ball and do something. Football? In a pig's ear!!!

In fairness they scored two great goals; a decent move for the first. But nine attempts out of ten, both would have missed and it was our luck (bad) that they went in today. Yes, we weren't quite on our game today and we lacked the penetration we have shown of late but doesn't that say something? Despite that, we still dominated the game and with more sharpness in the final third, we could have got something.

I agree with the comments made about the players' performances and, as for Sincs, I just wish that he'd stop going for the glory shots when he gets a chance. He had two decent chances and blasted them both wide. Had he shown a little composure and concentrated on accuracy rather than power he might well have scored. Even a scuffed shot has a chance if it is on target but, no matter how well a shot is hit, if it's not on target it can never be a goal. I speak with some authority on that subject as most of my "career" goals were scuffed shots. :biggrin: Seriously though, less power and more accuracy will reap dividends for him and I hope that the coaches will be having a word with him.

1/ Totally laughable...No team have beaten us by more than one goal so far this season.

2/ Downright lie..That just didn't happen...
 
What's laughable is you parking the double decker at home, your manager didn't have the confidence to let you play football against us, now did he! Hell Ivor you really got under the skins of these black kittens!.............. <laugh>
 
'Boo' is the wrong word. The home fans were definitely screaming at their players for not getting near the ball. I heard it on TV (saw the whole game on a feed) and my mate was there with the away support. He said the same thing.
 
It's been a strange and disappointing weekend for some teams, Swansea, Spurs and Arsenal, should have won this weekend, but they didn't, simply because they did not finish in front of goal!!...........................

wrong game plan its as simple as that, you cannot play the way we play on home turf away from home, It simply dont work as teams can use their home advantage to nullify us. the only time it worked for us was at villa who the week before destroyed chelsea.........there is a massive pattern here if you look into it ......Its Brendans fault when it comes down to it picking a side that has failed us away from home time and time again......60+ % possession is a waste of time if you cant put away the numerous chances we get.....

'Screaming' encouragement at your team to close the opposition down is about as far from booing as you are going to get mate...To be honest, if you are content to watch your team pass the ball about in non-dangerous areas, good luck to you because you will need it.

Still haven't heard from you as to who you'd choose as your starting 11 if Rodgers got it so wrong. Enlighten us.
 
not my job its what brendan gets paid for......why would i pick a team???? we have the players start using them or we will find ourselves in trouble...we need some away points to be safe and even though we were the better side it is not working away from home. its there for everyone to see.....
 
In all honesty 1 away win against absolutly tremendous home form is strange to say the least,all the experts and media say the same.Its not that we are a poor team,we are not. I would be happy to not win away for the rest of the season if i knew we were definatly going to stay up but a few away wins would make things alot easier especially as we have man utd and liverpool for our last 2 games <ok>
 
who in the team has the most premier league experience ? could we do with a bit more ? £46m in the summer may help with that !
