I listened to Youngy on the way home and once again found myself shouting at the bloody radio. My biggest disappointments today were- - We only brought in Yuki Abe (who I thought was our best midfielder today) I want to see Fernandes and Danns given a chance. - Beckford was appalling, I am not a moaner and understand that all players have off games but, today he was awful again. Never challenger in the, poor first touch and always has the look of someone not interested. - Wellens once again huffed and puffed..... With no end result other than a sideways or backwards pass. Roll on 2012 eh!?!?
^said this at the time and i was shot down. great player but needs to play off a target man otherwise ineffective. We are better than changing for his style though.
Great player??? Never. Messi is a great player! Beckford decent chempionship striker, but at the moment looks disinterested. Why on earth would he not jump/challenge for a header today. Always looking for help from the referee. needs to buck his ideas up QUICK!
He'd probably be good with Howard, but Howard only impacts the game as a substitute, and it isn't worth dropping our top scorer for Beckford's needs, we should bring Howard on every match at the 65-70 minute mark for the biggest under performer of the two (Nugent and Beckford).
ng10 fox your not on your own shouting at young on the radio believe me, you would have been better off nipping to the bridge inn for a pint with me mate, i couldn't even be bothered to turn out yesterday, and how right i was, or so it sounded like anyway, ill be there for pompey tho, still clutching at straws that gallagher wellens and king will be left out, for fernandes, danns and abe, but i wont hold my breath, as the 1st two seem to be able to do no wrong, nomatter how bloody crap the are........................
Will never boo any City player, I feel sorry for Beckford he is stuggling but we have nobody who can cross a ball! Yet again Dyer showed he cannot deliver that final pass, and the midfield is not worth talking about. Beckford needs the right service, if and when he gets that he will start getting the goals.
Someone said in another thread that Beckford was another Campbell, spot on there. NP should know by now who has what it takes to do the job so expect 4 or 5 players moving on asp. To most NP is a new manager so you would of thought that they´d be playing out of their skins to impress him. To many 'don´t give a ****´s in the squad... NP sort it out please.
as ive said in another thread, hes not a target man, he runs onto thru balls, until we get it into a position where our midfield can thread a pass between 2 defenders, it isnt going to work. Kasper was trying to get him into the game by hoofing it to him, but that didnt help his cause at all, in fact it had more of a negative effect.
The problem with Beckford is he is lazy, sulks, isnt a team player and couldnt give a ****. Nigel wont put up with him for long
As I said 6 months ago, is JB another DJ? or will he pull up his sleeves and prove his worth in the new year?
Without the right service, he will always look like a fish out of water. What happened to the team that created the most goalscoring chances last year, this year i don't think we're even in the top half of that table
