Zapp Posted 22 November 2014 Share Posted 22 November 2014 anyone else think our players have been told to be more selfish? there were 3 or 4 moments where a pass/low ball across the 6 yard box would have given more chance of a goal where they shot schlupp 1st half and nugent 2nd half spring to mind BUT better performance & nice clean sheet. Kasper made crucial saves. Not depressing this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted 22 November 2014 Share Posted 22 November 2014 I'm in agreement with some of the other posters. You need to cut back on your medication. I'm not on any meds, I'm actually watching the games - unlike a lot of this forum it seems. We are quite clearly creating - James put 2 or 3 good chances straight at Pantillimon today. We just look like we don't know how to shoot - the chances are there, the finishing has disappeared - they're snatching at shots, and that's usually nerves - get a goal and those nerves should calm down. It's just getting that first goal now that is a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfualol Posted 22 November 2014 Share Posted 22 November 2014 Stops the rot. Solid performance, but I'm still having PTSD over James' two great chances. Me too. Same with Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouseFox Posted 22 November 2014 Share Posted 22 November 2014 gotta hope now that pearson has his beloved 0-0 he's tried for all season we might start scoring again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ealingfox Posted 22 November 2014 Share Posted 22 November 2014 We're still absolute muck of course but at least it is a clean sheet and a point on the board. We really did need to bag today though there's no dressing it up. Will most likely get beat next week and I think he may well get the tin tack.

1993fox Posted 22 November 2014 Share Posted 22 November 2014 When will that goal come? Who will score? How will it be scored? Volley? A swift one-two? A header? The anticipation is pissening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 22 November 2014 Share Posted 22 November 2014 Some of our free kicks, Just lump it into their box from deep in our own half, that's pathetic, a sure sign of desperation. Woeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted 22 November 2014 Share Posted 22 November 2014 'Just'? It tends to be a rather major problem in football. Fair enough though I admire your optimism. Of course, I'm not pretending that it's not a problem - all I'm saying is everything else is more or less there, we're getting into good positions, but we look like we don't know what to do there and end up just passing it to the keeper as much as anything. People are talking like we're miles away from being a competent outfit, but we're not - we're just missing that confidence in front of goal. Where it's going to come from is a different matter entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim5000 Posted 22 November 2014 Share Posted 22 November 2014 Basically teams are just sitting back meaning our most useful weapon, speedly breaks, are completely nullified. We don't seem to have any other way to prise defences apart, we hump it up rather than trying to move the ball and the team up the pitch and work something. We might still have some luck against the biggest teams as they will open up a bit more to attack us, but roughly 14 of the other teams in the division are going to sit back and there is nothing we can do to get around them it seems. I don't blame Ulloa so much, the ball rarely even gets to him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just getting that first goal now that is a problem. You need to take the blue tinted specs off. The problem is, you say that we were "just unlucky" not to score, but fail to mention that Sunderland had just as many good chances as we did - if we were unlucky, then they were just as unlucky as us. And they were the away side, and are one of the worst teams in the league. A point away from home is a good result for them. Not so much for us. We were much better this week, I'll admit, but we're still not convincing in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katieakita Posted 22 November 2014 Share Posted 22 November 2014 Had the chances but didn't take them, not forgetting a couple of decent saves from Kasper but a different ref could have seen them with 9 players for 30 minutes and could have had a penalty for the hand ball with the hand away from the body. Better performance and point nearer to where we want to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagofox Posted 22 November 2014 Share Posted 22 November 2014 Can someone who thinks Moore should return for Wasilewski please explain why? And can they do so without using the words or phrases, "young", "Leicester Lad", "England/English", "one for the future", "one of our own". We have just kept our first clean sheet in a very long time. In the last home game we never looked like conceding (hence it took a fluke goal to go against us) and yet you want the centre half pairing changed.

They got into promising positions, but didn't even manage a shot. Fletchers 1v1 against Jeff and Mahrez hitting the side netting and James putting 2 down Pantillimons throat? No contest.

orbison Posted 22 November 2014 Share Posted 22 November 2014 If you stick a target man up front in this league they need to be world class, or at least offer some movement. It's not working with Ulloa like it wasn't working with Howard. Poor recruitment. watch what you say, the truth offends many on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
