Fair enough - I was the other side of the pitch from him and I must have just assumed he mishit it as there was never a shot on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Not passing to Adomah was disgusting. It wasn't a case of not being aware of him it was just utter selfishness plain and simple. But what annoyed me just as much was they way he couldn't even look at Adomah afterwards. He knew full well how selfish that decision was. He has to be one of the first names on the team sheet but if he doesn't knock that selfish streak out of his game he will never make it in the prem.

Hogan for sure, I get kodjia wants to get on the score sheet but sometimes you gave to put your ego aside for the team. Like hogan did for onomah. HogN hasn't been great but that was a classy thing he did there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 He has his moments of selfishness but it's no coincidence that our recent run of form has coincided with his return. For us he the best striker we have by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 8 hours ago, av1 said: Agreed. What i thought was really evident and surprising today was that Adomah didn't give him any pelters at all on a couple of occasions that he didn't pass, not least the big one. You would hope some of the more senior guys like Terry have a word at some point. Terry went ballistic at him at the time. I don't even get why he took that shot, he could've placed it near post and the keeper was stranded or of course laid the pass on. To try and go across goal, outside of the boot was probably the hardest to score from and the easiest for the keeper to save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted October 1, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 1, 2017 Just watched the highlights, needs to square that ball. Disappointed that he didn't. Putting himself above the team is not good and I hope someone has given him a bollocking for it. I know strikers need to be greedy at times but even Defoe would have squared that.

Yup, as an overly accomplished player, he won't have any fear about giving the likes of Kodjia a bollocking. Like who TF do you think you are?

Skills Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 clutching at straws here but got zero after the Adomah's took the penalty against Barnsley...

When the penalty was won, the first rage didn't come close to what we saw when it was Kodjia who placed the ball on the spot. Bruce will not have let him off lightly after that game. He was livid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adomah seems to be such a top bloke that you can almost imagine him doing this:"I know you want your first goal badly bro, here, take it". To be honest events leading up to that are the type of thing which would cause fights between players! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carewjust4u Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Kodija has a couple of assists since he came back, i can't begrudge him for trying to break the duck. It took big character to take the penalty and score after such a glaring miss, cut the man some slack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutting players slack for shit decisions is part of why we're in the situation we're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should lambaste players that don't play a 100% perfect games with 100% correct consistent decision making. Especially one's coming back from a horrendous injury, who's been playing very well and transformed the side, and wants to build some goal-scoring confidence. Ridiculous.

mrjc Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Shocking decision, and it reminded me of the Brsitol City game (Feb I think?) when he was so desperate to score, and then went and missed a penalty. I thought he would do the same on Saturday, so hopefully the fact he didn't will get him going a bit goals-wise. Albert (and others) looked genuinely pleased for him when he did score though. I guess they feel like us - infuriating at times, but he's a brilliant player to have in our team, and would probably not be here if he could sort that part of his game out.

I don't expect players to play 100% perfect games, I expect them to make the right decision when it's clearly the right thing to do. Could you imagine if that happened in a play-off game and we ended up losing? "Eh it's ok cut him some slack." Bollocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
