technika 0 Posted February 23, 2013 hoolahan off please, not in the game in the slightestterrible defending for the goal, 4 defenders vs the shortest player on the parkmuch more lively going forward than in recent weeks though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the bristol nest 0 Posted February 23, 2013 It''s not his fault as Pilkington should be in that position. Best players in their best positions please! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the bristol nest 0 Posted February 23, 2013 I suspect that CH''s plan was to score early and withdraw a striker reverting to our usual formation with Wes moving in behind. Not an option now imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty13 2,173 Posted February 23, 2013 I think he has been more of a victim of the fact we drive all of our attacking play down the right with Snodgrass. He''s been screaming for it on the left on a number of occasions in a lot of space but has been overlooked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shanghaimoon 0 Posted February 23, 2013 look slightly more lively going forward with howson in cm rather than the usual 2, who just dont work. Alarming lack of pace in the side however. Never been a fan of playing wes on the left side of midfield would much rather pilkington. Apart from their goal which was incredibly sloppy from us i think we''ve looked comfortable at dealing with them in an attacking sense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Young One 0 Posted February 23, 2013 I think the difference is quality, they just seem a better team going forward, remember they are a top 6 side playing for Champions League.It''s not the loss of 3 pts against Everton which may cost us it''s the lost 2 pts against Fulham .QPR & Vile losing as well.

the bristol nest 0 Posted February 23, 2013 At least we are matching Everton in all but a goal. I hope that the second half doesn''t embarrass us now we have to chase the game. Holt looks fit and up for it and Snodgrass looks dangerous. If we could have that threat down the left as well we could get something from this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 261 Posted February 23, 2013 today was always going to be tough. Not looking much better going forward though.Defensive mistake by Johnson who did not track his runner.Everton looking comfortable and we need to step up a level - still no repeat of the spurs intensity - why not?

technika 0 Posted February 23, 2013 cant believe im actually thinking this but can we have pilkington and kamara on pleasecant be any worse than hoolahan and becchio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lavanche 0 Posted February 23, 2013 Hoolahan has nothing to do with him not being in game ^^...He is free all the time, but Becchio dont know what to do with ball on the left side and there is no-one in the middlefield now to make the play. If someone is out of game he is Becchio. Lots of good work from him and nice airbattles, but when he gets the ball play stops right there and he either lose it or pass it in place which doesnt produce anything for the game.This just why I didnt want to see 4-4-2. No playmaker, huge gaps between players and lots of holes in defence. Ofc it seems to be more lively as all the players are out of position most of the time and try to fill those gaps, but really compared to Fulham game we look like League 1 team. ^^Hopefuly we see Kamara changed on the wing and Wes back in the middle slot.For me this is so far worst game of the season after our first game against Fulham.Much to do with us lacking Tettey thought. They have far too much time and space on our right side. Totally not game for playing offensive middlefielder in DCM slot ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
priceyrice 123 Posted February 23, 2013 Please get Wes off the pitch, it''s like having 10 men with him out wide and when he has come in to get the ball he has lost it every single time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted February 23, 2013 the link up play between Holt, Becchio and Snodgrass is awful!we need to take one of those 3 off and bring on someone who can affect play.. be that pilks or Kamara. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
