I don't give 2 fucks if OTHER teams keepers are poor and let in easy goals! I care what the fuck OUR keeper is letting in! Yes Nazon scores an easy goal but so fuck. We gave them 2 easy goals and lost the game.
It was on the edge of his six yard box. It was his ball to claim. As seen by his coming to collect it, then realising he can't catch and stepping back into goal. It was his indecision that made sure he wasn't set to make a save and duly didn't make what should of been a piss easy save.
If he could catch and was confident to collect a high cross on the edge of his 6 yard box in the 1st place, the free header wouldn't of happened and the save would never of needed to be made! Willis as a centre back, facing goal in the six yard box shouldn't have to deal with crosses like that, that's the keepers territory and his responsibility
But it's not really been an effective style of play for a couple years now has it?
Barcelona, have actually moved away from that style of football, and while they still do play out of course, they have actually become a bit more direct in their style of play.
Spain haven't had a great few years, not since euro 2012 has the style been used effectively by them.
Look at Chelsea last year didn't play the 'Spanish style', Leicester the year before didn't, and again Chelsea before that.
I did love that style of play, back then, but I also love the more recently adopted style of play, of a quick counter attack, all of the good teams do it at the moment, Man united are especially good at it right now, just have to look at them late in games, where they counter and are ruthless.
Plus we are never going to have the quality at this level to play the Spanish style anyway?
Big Sam was on Monday night football last week, and as he puts it, you can't concede if the ball isn't in your own half, first ball should always be played football, because if you are playing with your back towards the oppositions goal, it makes it so much harder.
Very easy to say, 'work it up through the full backs' but do WE have the quality to play like that? It's all opinions I guess, but we have had enough managers who have tried the 'possession' football and working it slowly through the thirds. SP, Mowbray, Thorn, and it hasn't worked really, think we need a little bit of a balance, which is very easy to say and it basically means sitting on the fence
Half backs and Cov Sporting fc, now there's a blast from the past !!!
That piss easy should have caught it with his teeth.
But is he not under pressure when he is expected to make a save, need to make up your mind.
Er, Kirby corner road?Half backs and Cov Sporting fc, now there's a blast from the past !!!
Yes I remember it well , Friday nights at the night club in the main stand !!!
Hi Lee. Keep telling yourself that the 1st goal (which you should of came and collected) wasn't your fault! Keep blaming others for your bang averageness!
How do I "need to make my mind up"? Your talking about 2 COMPLETELY different things and turning them into 1 to try and make a point against me!
Oh he is!
This best thing about football fans is when they think they know so much better than the managers.
I would half agree, wouldn't say he's "overrated" but let's be honest, he's never really been tested playing in Spain has he? Like Mowbray always used to say, he's great on a lovely pitch in warm weather. But cam he do it at Rochdale on a cold Tuesday night in February?
Sometimes it drives me up the wall. I watched one game where the Spanish has a corner which they took short, passed it all the way back to the half way Line and then tried to work it up the other side of the pitch. Sometimes their football is fantastic, often it is dull as ditchwater, sometimes both in the same match. What I really miss is players running with the ball at their opponents. In our team only Jones seems capable of that.
