v Fulham post match

[PTP]

The usual criticism of Mig I see. Flanagan was perfectly placed to clear the ball and he would have if he'd actually made his position known to Skrtel. Mignolet hasn't been faultless but the blaming of the keeper literally every time we concede through defensive errors (OG excluded) is laughable. He even got blamed for the Toure hospital pass last time. We have a back line of Cissokho (wank), Toure (wank), Skrtel (inconsistent) and Flanagan (still learning). Ray Clemence would have looked shaky behind that lot.

i agree with the comments re the shaky back line doesn't help - in my defence at least - this is the first time i've really had a go at him for conceding (actually no i defo blamed him for the villa 2nd as well ) - and it's more out of frustration than anything

oh and most of the season i've had a pop at him cause he can't kick the ball

but other than that, i am right behind him, think he will succeed

[I, Ravel Morrison]

It would. My fear is he would unsettle a settled defence.

He well might, but we wouldn't know for sure until he has the opportunity to do so.

[dom9]

I think we're deliberately gifting goals. We are poor at breaking down teams who park the bus so we pretend that our defence is ropey to give the opposition a sniff and encourage them to attack. Then we release the hounds. Kolo is perfect at playing the patsy, they don't suspect a thing. It's genius really.

There is indeed method in the madness.

[BobTheCharmer]

He's a superb shot stopper, don't make me wrong, but he needs to improve on this.

Make me wrong? I'm trying hard to think of some way to make this so.

Just had a Tim Sherwood moment, sorry [american_accent]Babby[/american_accent].

my worry is that maybe mig isnt forcing the players around him to listen to him, he is too nice. he doesnt want to shout down to skrtel, maybe sees him as a more senior player.
he needs to toughen up and boss his area and defence. most successful goalies are a bit loud and mental, but they ensure they have the final say and take no ****. mig did have a little friendly shout at the calamitous defenders towards the end but this needs to be something brendan ensures is memo'd to the lads.

@ the way Kolo knocked Dowd over and carried on running without a look or after thought.

he can add that to his youtube highlights

[The Birdman]

Yeah Mignolet's **** isn't he.
Reina never had any dodgy moments in the last 3 seasons, none at all.

Especially never diving out of the way of one 30 seconds early at Wembley in a FA Cup Final.

Can't believe Brad Jones isn't getting a game, he's ace him.

Great hair.


4th in the league, 4 points off top in the middle of February. Smashed Everton, absolutely smashed Arsenal young kids galore coming through and still people have to moan.

It's ****ing ridiculous.

Someone like Shaggy (who knows how to) should go through the Flanagan, Sterling, Henderson threads (just for 3) and re post all the criticism that knobheads were giving them.

Enjoy the ride and stop ****ing moaning like a pre menstrual woman who's just had a leg chopped off under local anaesthetic.

Mingolet command of his box and his kicking is **** though. No matter what way you try and look at it. His shot stopping on the other hand is phenomenal. Sort out the distribution and handling and we will have a top keeper.

Just because we are doing well does not mean you just gloss over anyone's problems.

Speak constructively and all is good.

He's won us points on a number if occasions for sure. Cost them too. I'm sure you have never given any player stick in the past?!

cant be doing with fans who think everything is rosey and love everything our players and management do or say. im sure we all want the best for our cloob but there also needs to be some objectivity otherwise its just blind loyalty with little brains.

True

Everyone was talking about winning the league yesterday. Then I went onto the match thread at 1 down and it was "we're useless". Now we're going to win the league again.

Some balance between the two extremes, which includes being able to discuss weaknesses a player might have, is fair enough imo.

Quite the rant.

I don't think people are moaning though, just offering a critique of what was squeaky bum time.

Discussing weaknesses if fair enough and I tend to agree with most of the points raised, but when posters feel the need after a last minute winner that keeps us in the title race to come straight on and complain, I find that odd.

Yes, Kolo was ****, but when Gerrard buries a last minute winner and most people are going bonkers, that should be the least of your concerns. (Not aimed at anybody in particular as I was pretty drunk when reading the posts last night)

Some people just like to stay positive regardless Complaining is a waste of time and energy if you ask me.

Oh ffs, who said he was ****? Anyway, thanks for sharing your meltdown with us.
