13 Goals in 13 Games

[Nebraska Red]

Only 3 teams have scored fewer goals than us this season, Wigan, West Ham and Sunderland.

 

Watching us play, with the exception of the Chelsea game, has been painful and boring.

 

Slow, laborious play that allows the opposition to get back and negative tactics at every opportunity.

 

I watched the Barcelona game this afternoon and seeing them zip the ball around, pass and move into space, never stop running was a joy to watch and made our performance earlier today look like something from a 4th division pub team.

 

It's criminal what this guy has done to our club.

 

So much for the impetus from the takeover.

One of those outplayed us too, if you recall.

[Red Kent]

Lack of pace as I've mentioned in another thread does not help, and the negative tactics employed by the t*** in charge of the team.

Thanks , I had almost forgotten that debacle.

 

How on earth the impostor got away with that result is still baffling me.

[smithdown]

This isn't helping Roy and his gang from doing what they want to do.

[Maldini]

Only Stoke and Blackburn play worse football than us.

[Swipe]

Stoke are at least effective.

[Chili Palmer]

I said when we got him in charge and he was buying the likes of PFK and CFP that if you have a mediocre manager who buys mediocre players you will become a mediocre team. I overestimated him.

[CarraLegend]

He's the most negative manager I can ever remember seeing in football, theres plenty of other negative managers out there like Mancini but as far as ive seen they dont actually encourage the opposition to dominate the ball. Getting completely outclassed football wise by a team who dont even try and play football is just some sort of sick joke.

[Gunga Din]

how many of those 13 have come from open play?

[Flasher]

I still can't get over out goal difference. -4 after 13 games. WTF?

Its gonna get a lot worse! We'll beat West Ham by a goal but get hit for 6 or 7 at Spurs.

[Cheesecake]

is there a single being on this forum that wants him to still be in charge for the game against West Ham?

 

Is there anybody out there that thinks he should be the manager for that game? ANYONE?

Ngog vs Arsenal - open play

Torres vs West Brom - open play

Gerrard x 2 vs United were set pieces

Gerrard & Kuyt vs Sunderland - open play although you could argue the Kuyt goal wasn't

Kyriagkos vs Blackpool - header from a set piece

Kyriagkos vs Blackburn - header from a set piece

Torres vs Blackburn - open play

Maxi vs Bolton - open play

Torres x2 vs Chelsea - open play

Torres vs Wigan - open play

 

So 9 from open play if you count Kuyt's against Sunderland

2 in open play away from home this season. thats abysmal

But in Roy's head he can point to an even 50/50 split in our goals away from home with 2 from open play and 2 from set pieces. It shows how balanced our attacking threat is.

[Andy @ Allerton]

I'm amazed that anyone is surprised. I dearly wanted Fulham relegated last season. Their 'style' of football disgusted me and I was horrified to see Hodgson come to Liverpool.

 

Hardly a surprise. You all had 35 years to watch this idiot in action. It's not like he's changed.

Is 'Open Play' the new 'Net Spend' ?

Is 'Open Play' the new 'Net Spend' ?

 

no, but i think its a pretty damning statement about our style of football recently away from home. and that goes back 12 months, not just this season

2 Premiership away wins in 2010 and it's one all - Rafa at Burnley and Roy at Bolton.

 

Will Roy take the lead ?

 

Will Roy be here to take the lead ?

 

Will Roy know how to take the lead ?

I wish he'd take a lead, tie it to the back of the express to London and get dragged all the way back there.
