SantiSuk Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Here's a photo shot at the instance when Paulinho played the ball to Vertonghen, not only that he's in his own half, but the last Sunderland player is 6yards ahead of him in his half! And look where the ref's position is, right up with play! Unbelievable decision. 365_sport_03_2015_01_17_23_51_01_3.png Ahem .... "a player is in an offside position if he is nearer to his opponent's goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent". Vertonghen is in an "offside position", but that in itself is not an offence. It's not an offence when inter-alia he's in his own half (by a country mile too!). Mike Riley must be feeling pretty uncomfortable about his flock this season. [ex-officiating (and officious) member of footy threads ] One day football will modernise in the same way as rugby and NHL has, then all this cr@p will be a thing of the past. I guffaw at your naivety. Go ahead, but I'm in god company when it comes to football thinkers. [i'll let that typo stand for once ] "on the penalty… My initial reaction from the bench was that it was a penalty. Somebody told me that we were a bit fortunate to get it, but from the bench it looked a penalty. I have to watch it again. on if he has sympathy with referees… I’ve always defended that. It goes for both teams. You’re right - it’s a quick and instant decision that the referee has to make. I’ve always been for supported help for situations like offsides or penalties."

rijit Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Saying that last time he got a.few games b4 he got injured he just started to look ok ish and in his defwnce , it was a touch unfair expecting him to play at left bac for so long, sure for a couple of games he can cope but longwr he was always gonna get found out and he never really recovered from that and once walker was bac seems he wasnt hapi just being on the bench so fair play to him, 5 mil seems a fair price wish him well Sent from my GT-I9000 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Edited January 21, 2015 by rijit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfieconn Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Well that's convinced me even more, we need a class creative player to play in the defensive two and a class attacking wide player / forward, out of last nights team Mason and Townsend are just not good enough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotsira Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Well that's convinced me even more, we need a class creative player to play in the defensive two and a class attacking wide player / forward, out of last nights team Mason and Townsend are just not good enough Townsend has been playing like that all season, but Poch seems to rate him, in defence to Mason, he only just come back from the injury against Chelsea. I think Poch's experiment last night with Adebayor up front and Kane playing behind him didn't work, imo Kane plays better when he's the leading striker, not a no10, that's Eriksen's best position. Last night we didn't have a left sided attacking player, Eriksen & Kane seemed to be playing in the same position which caused too much congestion in the middle attacking area, and with only Townsend playing wide right, hence not much creativity and no balance in the team. Poch, needs to look at that starting 11 and take some blame. We need to improve on that in the 2nd leg, otherwise ??? One plus for me, was Stambouli played well and seems to be improving with every game. Edited January 22, 2015 by sotsira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Poch does rate him, more a case of not having anyone else, being as Chadli and Lamela were not available, so Pochs hands were tied some what. Obviously that's the same reason he had to play Kane as a No.10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rijit Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 mmm, personally thought stambouli was poor got caught in poss'cion to many times and made unforced errors almost like he wasnt prepared for this type of game,,, which of its type was typical,,thought we just only just, if only for the 65 % possession deserved the win, but overall wouldn't have begrudged them a draw or even a nicked win!!! they did their jobs well,effectively better than us However it may well suit us at their place, to a point, they will have to come at us. oh looks addeboy dont really suit poh's tempo style, when the ball hits him its almost like the play slows down/ stops,, anyway half time and its 1-0 to us, so all to play for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rijit Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 just when the doubts about him start to come, what do we do ??? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30932087 give him a new contract !!!!! seriously though, thought he looked tired last night, poch has said his energy levels are an issue so maybe if and when we get that sorted who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmine Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Didn't get to see this game but by all accounts a dismal game, with a team selection that was asking for trouble. Yet we could have gotten away with it bar our continual inability to hold a lead. Only plus point to take from this is that we needed to reduce the amount of games we are playing. Thats 37 now and were still in january. What i do find sad about current day football is the way the grand old FA Cup has been devalued by big money and the CL. Theres not enough dosh in the cup for the bigger clubs and its created a situation where getting top is considered more important than winning a trophy. Can't be good for the game.

sotsira Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 The way to tell if a club takes the FA Cup seriously or not, is by their team selection, weakened or not? Obviously Tottenham and Chelsea felt it wasn't so important, hence why they both fielded weakened teams and paid the price by getting knocked out. It would probably not have been the case, if they didn't have the midweek 2nd leg semi finals coming up. As for Man City, they were practically at full strength, so even less of an excuse. Man Utd, on the other hand are taking the FA Cup as a first priority this season as they have no other competition to compete in. They also have a very good chance to win it now too, together with Arsenal and Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
