Point me to your previous posts criticising the player prior to this useful addition of hindsight??! Thought he's played well and was again today until his moment of madness!
He played well until the card incident. I was watching on a stream that was poor quality but is it certain that he he wasn't just lashing out stupidly for the ball? At first I thought it was at the player but on the replay I wasn't that sure.
Watching on a stream myself, he seemed to lash out after the ref had awarded him the free kick. Was stupid, we had the better half until that point.
He lashed out. He was knocked off sideways, he fell on the ball, heard the whistle but saw Giroud start to run off so he flicked out with his toe which caught Giroud on the knees. No need for the lashing out, but it was clearly a lash out and he deserved it. It was blatant, it was after the play had been called dead.
He f***ed up big time but I don't blame him for the result. When a team sets their stall for a 0-0 draw, it's not unusual for the opposition to nick it at the end. How often does that happen in football? We were negative and deserved to get nothing. We played like the bottom team today, scared to have a real go.
Agreed. And look what happened when we DID have a go at the end. We created two chances that really should have been stuck away!! Hughes is far too negative, as is Granero.
It was certainly intent, watch his facial expression and you'll see, it is not of one that tries for the ball. Just like tackles, when a player clenches his fists he has the intent to hurt the opposition. Good player though, was excellent up until the red, but in the end cost us the game. We know how missed he'll be when we have to watch Ferdinand for three games.
So baby balloon loved snuggling up with Mum and Dad until the time came to leave the family bed cos he got so big. Baby was sad but then had a bright idea. That night, while his parents slept, he let some air out of Mum, Dad and himself so they could all fit in bed together again. When they all woke and Dad realised what had happened, he said to Baby in a stern voice. ' Baby, you've been a very bad balloon'. You've let me down, you've let your mother down and, most of all, you've let yourself down! Get it, Stephane? Two winnable games and where will you be? Moron.
Mbia has let the side down and made it even more difficult for the defence and the team for the next 3games. Best solution.... Make an example of him. SACK HIM.
Mbia cost us the game end of. The muppet let all us fans down. Yet again another sending off that will cost us at the end of the season. If these players are going to do this i wish would 'f'off' and leave my club. no need for what he did. What a muppet!
Sorry mate..totally disagree with you Who missed the 2 golden chances we had..?. \Was that hi fault tooo>?
Not sure I agree with this either. We created one chance before the red card. Trying to play out a draw is simply suicide. As another fan said earlier, if we created more ourselves then decisions like this would not have such a big impact on the outcome.
