Tetteys Jig 830 Posted March 15, 2014 He''s not perfect, but he''s a mile better than that shambles, what the f**k was that from our defence. All 4 goals were simply pathetic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted March 15, 2014 Ummm....Stoke penalty.Two of Villa''s four goals.He''s been no better for a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted March 15, 2014 You missed his goal saving challenges vs Stoke and everyone was rubbish versus Villa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue Baboon 0 Posted March 15, 2014 Swanseas goal, gifting Adebayor a chance that he should have scored withBassong should have been dropped months ago then made to work for his place Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted March 15, 2014 On Crouch, early on. I''m not saying he''s perfect, but he''s helped us to 11 clean sheets and the defence today was the worst i''ve seen for years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted March 15, 2014 Shouldn''t have been dropped. He''s become a scapegoat Yes he gave away the penalty but his overall performance against Stoke was good other than that. He''s a better player than Bennett without doubt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray 111 Posted March 15, 2014 CH changed 50% of our defence today and expects it to gel immediately, shows poor judgement imo, assuming no injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 7,381 Posted March 15, 2014 [quote user="Ray"]CH changed 50% of our defence today and expects it to gel immediately, shows poor judgement imo, assuming no injuries.[/quote]Agreed, it was a touch of desperation IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted March 15, 2014 Clear desperation. Players who haven''t been in recently or for longer are suddenly back in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 273 Posted March 16, 2014 CH changed 50% of our defence today and expects it to gel immediately, shows poor judgement imo, assuming no injuries.Precisely; changed 50% the area with some modicum of consistency and performance and introduced uncertainty. simply got it wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubai Mark 0 Posted March 16, 2014 It was a surprise seeing both Martin and Bassong on the bench, I accepted it as presumed that they were maybe not 100% fit......why do I say that? Because with CH''s team selection record to date leaving these two out was not consistent with what he has done previously,I thought it was out of character...... so unfortunately it it wasnt that they werent fit it was one of the first times he has appeared to panic and/or bow to some external pressure perhaps. For me, the key is holding your nerve in the circumstances we are in and not taking risks.................some may feel its the opposite? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simmo_2 6 Posted March 16, 2014 Another question with the same answer. The Answer is ,The manager has not got a clue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barclay_boy111 0 Posted March 16, 2014 for me it wasn''t so much the dropping of Bassong it was the dropping of Martin and Redmond that done it for me.Ollson and Redmond have a good understanding of how one another play as does Snoddy and Martin. so to completely remove the two partnerships down each sides was beyond idiotic as Mr. McNalley would say it was delinquent. Then you when you put the dropping of our team captain in Bassong on top of those decisions then you get exactly what happened on the pitch yesterday.Pathetic excuse of a management team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,023 Posted March 16, 2014 5 changes was way too many in my opinion, I cannot help wondering if CH is basing his selections on the opinions espoused on this forum..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
