I can't understand for the life of me how anyone would think that. He won a **** load of tackles today.
Ramirez Dawson No third choice - Elmo may have got it but i absolutely hate that side of his game. It would have been just as easy to heading the thing, he had won it. Robertson was good when attacking, defensively shocking today Hernandez, i think someone put the decimal point in the wrong place when we signed him, on his current form anyway Huddlestone was terrible again today, and just in case anyone has forgotten, that free kick was an abomination. Actually thinking back it wasn't a free kick at all. It was a free "Give the ball back to the opposition" We seem to string together loads of passes to each other (Not particularly going anywhere though) then we just pass it straight to one of their players..... We may as well have just given it to them to start off with........
That's exactly what I thought. I think sometimes he just cheats for the sake of it. It was like the Maradona one in that he could just as easily have used his head.
Maradona could never have got that goal with his head, he had to cheat, Elmo should have left it for one of the other 2 coming in behind him. I still don't know how the linesman saw it really. Anyway my top 3: Dawson Robertson Jelavic just for his running his arse off.
I was going to abstain but on reflection I think Ernie has it about right...nah **** it I'm abstaining, I really can't bring myself to vote for a central defender when we've just conceded three goals in a home game, Jelavic I feel a bit sorry for as he didn't play his normal game but I have little doubt that that was more down to him not being 100% fit rather than anything else, and I just cannot vote for anyone in our midfield right now as it's ****ing atrocious, in fact Ramirez must be wondering what the **** he's volunteered for!
I said it was handball as it happened and everyone turned and looked at me! If he didn't play for us we'd be calling him all the c#nts under the sun! Bruce need to have a little chat I think.
They were all **** to a man. But given that 3 players looked to have been rushed back (again) probably against medical advice. So this selection is not based on pitch performance, but they played, probably forced against advice when clearly not fit. 1) Jelavić 2) Hernandez 3) Robertson
I'm a massive fan of Robertson, or should that be Robinson, but how anyone can have him in the top three when his mistake for their first goal was the turning point of the game is beyond me, and simply inserting 'for his attacking play' is complete bollocks too
A special mention must go to the ball boys. They where slightly better, because normally they are garbage.
