Sometimes as a defender you allow yourself to be beaten as it takes the attacker into a blind alley. I got the sense a bit of that was going on leading to the second defender blocking the eventual cross or Kaz sending over a poor one from an unpromising position.

No he's not fishing it's an opinion an opinion which I also share lua lua was so frustrating to watch tonight so much play went through him with no end product, crosses too long crosses too short ( not clearing the first defender ) and countless shots blazed miles wide
10/10 for effort
4/10 for end product
Very much this.
Beating 2 defenders to get a cross in, that every time is an an embarrassment.
His job is to supply ie get the last past right, and he failed miserably again.

The number of hopeless balls be ballooned over the bar and shots straight into the stand or at a player. Him and Buckley were awful tonight. We've got Upson Greer and Ulloa and couldn't seem to put one ball into their bonces in the box. Poor.
Flabbergasted that Buckley got MoM, he had a shocker.

Buckley is usually anonymous in games when Vicente starts. This was another to add to the pile.

On the road to no where
Kaz could not cross a road tonight, plenty of the ball but end product.
But fancy dan trickery preceding the crap end product, has persuaded the
contributor that he was MOTM.

And as for Vicente he is an impact player of the bench and not a starter looked like we were playing a man short in the 1st half

LuaLua was the only player that could consistently break down the Charlton defence, despite having 2 and sometimes 3 players marking him. I think the team knew this, which is why the ball was consistently fed to him. This also opened up space for other players. Granted, his end product wasn't as good as it can be, but I do think that he played some dangerous balls in that perhaps are attackers could have anticipated better. He also tracked back quite well, and played his part in the build up of some good attacks. Personally, I cannot understand how you think that performance by him was terrible - he was better than many tonight. But then again I can't understand how Buckley got MOM either.
Thats half his job!!!
The other half is to deliver quality crosses............Epic fail tonight.......Didnt deliver once...

LuaLua put loads of effort in and you can't fault that but he had ZERO end product tonight, a good few times he was incredibly selfish too.
Got to be dropped for the next game, bring back Orlandi who should have been brought on.

Agree with the OP. Appalling end product. Had a game much like Zaha against Bridge. Was shown the angle time after time because every cross was poor and every shot over. All he did was cut inside and lose it.
Could say the same about most of our players tonight. Vicente? Didn't see him do anything. Dave was off the boil, Buckley was pony but let's pick on Kaz because he didn't put a decent cross in? Poor all round tonight!
"Granted, his end product wasn't as good as I can be". If he has one role above all others, it is to create chances for others. Tonight 1 out of 10 = a failure at his one key task.
"Attackers could have anticipated more". They would have have to been taller than Zigic, or for those crosses that went straight out we would have needed a corrupt linesman to allow play to go on.
