Someone needs to explain to me how they can rate Chadli from that performance? he offers nothing absolutely nothing as an attacking threat. Not one cross on target, lost the ball loads of times. Checks back inside nearly any time he has space as his left foot crossing is atrocious and for someone who is supposed to be good in the air he missed an unmarked chance to get a goal when in a great position. I hate him so much and think he is a total waste of space. How he never gets subbed is beyond me. When he finally has a shot or creates a chance maybe ill see some benefit in him playing in the side.
Rest were ****e as well. Team was set up all wrong. Soldado did not deserve to get his place back. And Rose should have played even with his lack of match fitness. When we go one goal down at home we are f****d!!!
Im fast losing all my patience with AVB. He is showing no tactical progression, he is getting out thought in so many games now. He unwillingness to try something different is perplexing and his faith in players who do not deserve it is downright annoying. He will get the sack soon I am pretty sure.
Because he was technically good on the ball, only player that beat his man and was a threat...
i was at the game - chadli was putting in some decent balls in the first half
Agreed. He did over hit a few, but his crossing is usually spot on. I guess the reason he doesn't take corners is because of the threat he provides in the air, a bit like why Gareth Bale never took corners despite how good is cross was.
Soldado scored a hat trick in midweek and you can't see why he deserves another chance. The guy was on a confidence high, any ex manager, player etc will have backed AVB on that call.
Chadli got involved. I'm not gonna say he was brilliant but he did create chances, more than anyone else in midfield.
When Soldado was doint pants and Defoe was banging them in against inferior opposition in the Uefa did he get in the side? did he hell. Defoe in the two games we won did not score but he was a threat, hit the post and had chances. So Defoe is rested versus Anzhi probably expecting to stay in the side that was winning with him in it. Then Soldado feasts on the inferior opposition and AVB uses that as an excuse to get him straight back in the team.
I am at a loss for words. None of his crosses were anywhere near their mark. He always checks back onto his right foot and slows down the attack. He has a high pass rating as he passes inside with nearly every chance. Cant cross with his left foot and also when he is unmarked in the box he cant even get his header on target and heading is supposed to be a strength of his. Also he offered no cover to Naughton in defence and even worse he got to stay on and move into the attacking role when he should have been substituted.
Must of been watching a different player to me. Anyway, other than all that he was decent yeah?
Erm yes. And we lost 3-0 to West Ham.
