Lualua 7.52...
What, yesterday? I'm not saying KLL is never good. I'm saying sometimes he is overrated simply because it's him, and yesterday was one of those performances. It wasn't as much an issue last season because the team was performing so I could accept a degree of over exuberance when rating. But...
Who from? I honestly don't remember a lot coming from Oscar or his team. I remember him saying he liked working with them, but not much about bringing them through. I remember pre-season/early days a few people on here were going on about it, but that comments from nathan jones and oscar in the...
My feelings on Barnes are unrelated to my feelings on KLL. I have been critical of Barnes within this thread. Any link between the two for me is more about fan reaction to Barnes in comparison to fan reaction to KLL.
I'm not sure what needs to be explained. From the start of the game KLL would...
I don't think anyone in our team was a threat yesterday. With Buckley always running towards the corner flag, Barnes being more interested in being the victim of a miscarriage of justice trying to convince us he deserved a free kick every time the ball was played to him (well, two yards behind...
He was unlucky not win a free kick on the edge of the box. It wasn't a penalty. How exactly did we benefit from those bookings and the red card? Did it turn the game and get us back in it? No.
If the bookings meant the defenders had stood off when we later ran at them allowing us in to score...
I get the impression most people, when they see lualua on the ball, think "ooh, he beats his man a lot, this is going to be exciting". I don't. When I see lualua on the ball, I tend to think "19 times out of twenty he blasts the ball at a defender or into the crowd, I'm not gonna get too excited...
Did you not read the rest of my post? I wasn't impressed with the performance. It's not like I thought we lost but it was a good performance. It wasn't. "Well, it could have been worse" isn't a great argument.
I've not seen enough of Conway to know if he'd be any good. I know he hasn't had...
First half would probably be a point higher, second half a point lower, so am averaging them out.
Kuszczak 7 - some good saves, not sure he had much chance with the goals
Calderon 5.5 - don't remember a particular error from him defensively, though I wouldn't be surprised if someone corrected...
