From all the angles shown by the TV cameras, it looks like Green palmed the ball towards, or into his own net.....thoughts? If Vieras foot went between the players legs and made contact resulting in the player tripping over, then it's a penalty. Based on the highlights, 3rd goal was Coyles fault, should've been more positive in getting rid of it, putting that down to lack of experience, having said that, Green should've moved forward more. Monk's after match interview.
Because you want Silvestre back, your biased opinion against Green is quite alarming. In another thread you wrote Green 3 Leeds 0 In reverse order Goal three totally Coyles fault, nothing Green could do, moved forward more, what planet are you on pal... Goal two Green did well to get anywhere near that penalty, it was unstoppable. Goal one, terrible all round, I felt a bit sorry for Green it looked worse than it was, he was unable to get to it due to the QPR guy in front of him, yes he should have done better. How though do you work out that he palmed it goalwards? It hit the thigh of Bamba who was in front of him. Don't get me wrong, a very shaky start from Green but he did pull off a couple of very good saves.
You'd have thought though, at the age of 36, he'd have learnt how to kick the ball properly His distribution yesterday was far worse than Silvestri's, in fact it's the worst I've ever seen Embarrassing and cringeworthy If he's to keep his place we need a player to drop back to within six feet of Green and maybe then he'll actually find a teammate
Yes that alarmed me, I think and I am hoping that was down to the early goal and the QPR fans getting on his back. Don't get me wrong, his performance was poor but we would have lost yesterday no matter who was in goal, it was an all round horror show
I also changed it after. One of the first rules for a keeper is, narrow the angle. Green stayed on his post, he should've moved about 2 steps forward to block the vision of the net, he didn't, he stayed on his post exposing all the goal behind him, which the striker saw. Watch the highlights, it looks like he palmed the ball towards his goal, it didn't hit Bambas thigh while it was in the air....did it? for the record, I did put thoughts? after the comment, instead you chose to attack me in regards to Silvestri. Yes, I prefer Silvestri to Green, I've never made no bones about it, I don't rate Green Are you going to continually attack me like you do Cellino? So did Silvestri, he also got a couple of MOM's and saved us on many many occasions.
The worrying thing though is that it wasn't a one-off, QPR were telling us how bad his distribution was when he was with them, and if he can't deal with a bit of heckling he shouldn't be playing the game Prefer Silvestri over Green any day, plus he's younger, will improve and would increase in value Very strange decision to discard him for Green imo
Leedslover... I have noticed a pattern that occurs when people disagree with you... 1) you accuse them of attacking you 2) you accuse the forum of becoming like JA606 I have no idea what part of my post comes over as attacking you. I still can't for the life of me see where Green should have moved forward more for the second goal. I can't see where he palmed the ball goal bound, Bamba was in front of Green. The ball hits Greens gloves, goes forward slightly, hits Bambas thigh and goes into the net. How could it go backwards and hit the thigh of someone in front of him. Yes Green was to blame for the goal but I believe it looked worse than it was
I thought the decision was going to be cash in on Silvstre, use Green and Peacock-Farrell with a view to PF being eventual first choice. Silvestre was or is on the transfer list and not one offer has been made for him, that shows how much he is rated by other teams. This is not a defence for Green as I am disappointed in what I saw too, just clarifying what I saw as the reason for his signing.
Well in that case might as well have got Paddy Kenny back, at least his distribution was excellent, was a good shot stopper, and just as ****e in the air as Green
Your first line Ristac, "Because you want Silvestre back, your biased opinion against Green is quite alarming. In another thread you wrote Green 3 Leeds 0" and this, "You never can see anything wrong in what Cellino does". Everyone knows my stance on Cellino, and now Green in comparison with Silvestri, why do you find it a need to keep trying to throw my stances/opinions down my throat, can't you just have a decent conversation/debate without trying to throw something you have an opposing opinion on down my throat cos it's not same as yours. For the record, I don't accuse people of attacking me when they disagree with my opinions, I do mention it occasionally when and if it happens on a personal basis. Like most on here, I just want to have a decent conversation/debate without the malice, do you think me and you can do that in future? "I still can't for the life of me see where Green should have moved forward more for the second goal" it was the third goal. I'll try to explain from a keeper's point of view, and I do know there are 1 or 2 other keepers that come on here. Green stood on his post when their striker had the ball, because of the angle the striker was at, Green had exposed all the goal behind him to the striker, even though it was a narrower vision. Had Green moved 2 steps forward and probably 1 step to his left, which he had time to do, he would have blocked the view of the goal to the striker with his body, and greatly reduced the angle, therefore reducing the vision of the net to the striker making it harder for the striker to score. As it happened, Green stayed on his post giving the striker a bigger target to aim at, which the striker saw, and scored. How many times have you seen Silvestri, or any other keeper come out of their goal to narrow the angle for a striker, and succeeded.
For the record, from memory of last season, Silvestri could never deal with crosses into box either. For the first goal I also think there should be an inquest into why qpr had so many unmarked players queuing up for a shot straight from the corner that started scramble. As for the third, I haven't got a clue what LL is talking about "moving forward' bad play by Coyle, should never have let it bounce great strike by the forward.
LET ME GIVE YOU A NO NONSENCE HONEST OPIION OF GREEN I HAVE ROWED WITH SO MANY OF MY OWN FANS ABOUT HIM BUT THIS IS THE TRUTH HE SEEMS TO HAVE REAL PROBLEMS WITH HIS NERVOUS SYSTEM IN HIS VERY FIRST GAME FOR US HE STAETED THE SEASON BY LETTING IN ALL FIVE GOALS IN A 5-0 THRASHING YOU CANT GIVE HIM STICK BECAUSE HE WILL ONLY GET WORSE I PUT THE QPR WIN AGAINST LEEDS DOWN TO GREEN THE EFECT ON THE OTHER PLAYERS WHEN HE HAS THESE TERRIBLE PERFORMANCES IS HEART BREAKING YOU MUST LOOK TO REPLACE HIM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BUT GENERALLY YOUR TEAM LOOKED QUITE CAPABLE OF GETTING A PLAY OFF PLACE I LIKED YOUR BIG CENTER HALF HE LOOKED GOOD AND ROOFE IS A BRILLIANT PLAYER DONT PUT TO MUCH PRESSURE ON YOUR MANAGER BECAUSE THAT WONT HELP,BUT REPLACE GREEN
Does no one else think the third goal is bamba's fault? While the ball is in the air he backs away when if he attacks it he woulda got there I think. Secondly why is Coyle, the smallest player in our back line marking their tallest player? Makes absolutely no sense. At set pieces, your best player in the air marks their best player in the air. No question. Think everyone is being harsh on Coyle here
Why are you personally attacking me just for pointing out a fact? You criticise others for doing this! #hypocrite
