I thought Jelavic was pretty good today. His miss was unfortunate but he was being closed down pretty quickly. One thing for sure, he worked himself into the right position beautifully. I was also impressed by the amount of hard work he did. Our midfield was generally poor, though I think we looked far better and more creative when Boyd came on. I agree with a previous poster who said the 3-5-2 is starting to look defensive but that seems to be more a problem with the players approach to the game rather than the formation itself. Finally, I think the ref was overall very good and the thing that impressed me most, was that he actually allowed players to TACKLE. There were very few of the soft frees that are wrecking the game.
After watching the highlights again 1) how unlucky Jelavic's shot and 2) McGregor was partly to blame for the goal. He's a great keeper and everyone makes a mistake at some point. Having said that we lost as a side and we'll do Crystal Palace I'm sure of it.
We were poor today but I think it would have been a very different result if Jelavic had buried that relative sitter in the first five minutes. That miss and the loss of Chessie ten minutes later totally changed the game. Koren, other than his early set up of Jelavic did little. I can't understand why Quinn didnt start in his spot. Both Thudd and Jake were off the pace and the mid-field looked tired and unimaginative. Elmo after starting brightly faded and Figueroa's distribution and positioning was awful again. I'm a fan of Howard Webb but I thought he made several questionable calls against us today and it was obviously frustrating the players. I'd like to see Faye back in against Southend and Quinn, Boyd, and Meyler starting with Thudd out and Figueroa and Koren dropped. Rossy was immense and my MOM. Can't count the number of saving clearances/headers he made at the back. Needs to play every week. Jelavic other than his miss looked the real deal. Agressive, strong in the air, and making good runs into the box. Looking forward to seeing him out there with Long and Aluko.
i posted it on the motd thread before the pundits came on i missed the match... soon as i saw it the two questions came to my head SO **** OFF HOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
***** i appreciate my last sentence was a tad over the top, but it was a challenge for you, you failed sir..
Thought Jellys movement to make himself some space on his miss was promising though. Nowt flash but it's little things like that you get from a goal scorer.
you insult blampey.. then insult me you're a ****ing massive **** wtf is with this cant ****? it's can't.. what the **** happened? you've posted as much usefull information as a ****ing baked bean advert what a **** mate what a ****
ooh wobble wobble..you'll fall off your perch in a minute! obviously corresponding who's highly intellectual...not! go take your cock out of Blampey's mouth
what perch? i'm actually ****ing close to the ground sir, are you the highly intellectual one? i'm just confused, are you inferring it's you or me? i'd guess it's me and i appreciate such comments, and as the higher intellectual sir, you made a mistake and an apology would be good.. you made a mistake... so just ****ing admit you did and we can be equals, you insulted him for no reason though, so what do you expect me to do? just ****ing stand there? no brother
such an original comeback.. i didn't hear that in 1987 ****ing contribute something even remotely worthwhile and then come back
What was thread originally about again, before the drunkard and the other bloke started pissing about?
because as you clearly stated, i am the higher intellectual between me and you, you've clearly demonstrated that you can't win so really, shut the **** up and accept it, and we move on to another day **** SAKE MAN
Bennett's header was just like Smalling's against us: he pushed down on Rosenior to leverage his jump. Could have been a foul but we're far too soft and naiive all over the pitch.
yeah sure...need to get some sleep, it'll of worn off by the morning and then you'll feel much better....g'night BB....g'night Blampey....I do pressume you sleep together
