The_Rev Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 How on earth did Heskey not score that? I wonder how many times that question has been asked over the years? The answer, of course, is "because he is Emile Heskey." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withinpurple Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Wait, if we're playing a 4-5-1, who's in midfield with Ash, Petrov, Milner and Downing? Haven't seen anyone. :S EDIT: Ah, Delph... how many touches has he had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchard Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 The main commentator really is taking the piss, how about just come out and say it! It's the same for every game like this. We were all laughing when it was Reading vs Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ricardomeister Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Good save Friedel. Hopefully we can assert our greater quality in the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjshare Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 that was a great ball from downing - but just as he hit it whoever it was making the run on the left wing stopped! He picked the wrong option and well over hit the pass. do us a favour please trent if you wouldnt mind. dont bother replying to anything i write because today you have to be the most argumentative, nit-picking pedant that i have ever seen on this forum. your opinion may be different from mine but dont call it wrong. I will reply to any post I wish thankyou. As for me being nit picking if you didn't keep posting things that are so wrong I wouldn't be responding to your posts. i didnt tell you not to , i asked you as a favour - if you cant extend that courtesy fair enough. and as more than one person said the same thing as me then i guess it means that it might not be wrong - just a different view from your own.

Pilchard Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Heskey is so frustrating. He could be such a success here. But its missing chances like that which is an example of why we aren't good enough for the ambitions that we portray ourselves as having. Our strikers just don't put away easy headers like that. Still a long way to go in this one. They better bloody win it because I've got money coming my way if they do - they've got to pick it up and become a little more creative.

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 It weren't a bad half. We were dominating until the goal. After that, it was pretty even. The longer the game goes on, you feel with our pace, we can open them up on the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted February 14, 2010 Moderator Share Posted February 14, 2010 Dreadful half from us. Without Agbonlahor we seem to have no shape and no plan. Heskey is either drifting into midfield or pushing into offside positions and the three wingers don't seem to know whether to bomb on or go out wide. We've seen too man opportunities already from wide positions where wingers have had to play deep crosses to wingers. Delfouneso needs to come on, that would give Heskey a chance to do a job that he knows how to do, it'd leave two wingers who would know what their job is and would have something to aim at, it'd give us two central midfielders who would know what their job is and help keep Palace back. You don't have to keep a lot of players in defence when your opposition has one striker who is constantly in midfield. Tactically that half was a mess and if we don't change it we'll lose this.
