Cracker1234 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Overall, seemed too weak in midfield and disjointed when attacking This. MON for me was Hogg. Thought he did all the rough stuff well in only his third appearance. Huh? You agree that we seemed weak in midfield, yet you gave Hogg MOTM because he did all the rough stuff? I don't get that myself, I didn't expect a lot from this game because of how Blackburn play and we us lacking height I knew it would be a tough game. Even though I thought that before the game, I think the lads didn't do as bad as people are making out, when they got the ball on the floor they passed it around real good at times and the moved it fast. We just lacked that killer ball and our wingers getting behind the fullbacks to put a ball across the box....They seemed more than happy for us to play it in front of them, but without height up front we just can't lump it in there and expect to win the headers....As was seen more than once later on in the second half....Without Carew or Heskey in the team we can't play high balls into the box.

Shillzz Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Would be tempted to put Herd in ahead of Ireland against Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I thought Samba and Nelson were immense for them. Was always going to be tricky because of the sheer strength of their team against our kids. Every ball in the box caused problems as well. I thought we passed the ball around well, but they defended well, we didnt create enough and their height and strength were the difference at both ends. Disappointed, but let's move on. We're not playing THAT badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 All things considered, I don't think we played that badly, think we'll do much better next week though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Arsenal will murder us in my opinion!Why? We're at home and we've proved time and time again this season that it's the Blackburns and Stokes, not the Arsenals and Spurs that we struggle against.

rhyscartwright_avfc Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Put James Collins and Albrighton back in next week and it's the team that absolutely slaughtered Man Utd just 8 days ago. We'll give Arsenal a good game if nothing else. EDIT - By the way, why was Collins out today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 We didn't beat Spurs, and nor have we played Arsenal so how do you make that judgment? I know your trying to be positive but 4 points away from home is not good enough, people refer to the injuries apart from Cuellar, Collins, NRC and Petrov, would the others really make an impact?

Thought he did all the rough stuff well in only his third appearance. Huh? You agree that we seemed weak in midfield, yet you gave Hogg MOTM because he did all the rough stuff? Hes young and i thought he did reasonably well in only hes third appearance. Whats hard to understand about that? :shock: Besides Ireland drifting in and out of the game, thought the midfield did ok. Bannon looks a player, Young and Downing did relatively ok other than some wasteful balls. Those three have had enough MOTMs from people, so i chose Hogg :winkold: Overall though, we need a busy and sucessfull January. Get the right players in, and who knows. Just hate fcuking loosing to the Blackburns of this world. Pisses me off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_avfc Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 After Newcastle, this was our worst performance, just when a win would get us on track for the season we come short again, rubbish today, its always the shit teams that **** us. Always. Im starting to lose patience with Ireland, hate to do so because I know how good he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
