• Defending for Son's goal

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 1:40 am**

just have a look at the replay around 55 seconds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COIGsRMo-lY

No excuse to be that poor, particularly disappointed with Hendrick's lack of effort but they were all dreadful - that goal is very poor one for us

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 1:46 am**

I thought Lowtons half arsed challenge was the pick of the bunch for that goal but the way Son ran through our team took me back to the early days of Kick Off and Sensible Soccer

What defending?

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 3:02 am**

Mate, stick it in the match thread. Starting a new thread for every minor incident is why this place is in such a mess. I despair with some internet warriors sometimes.

mate, stick to your own board - you calling someone a warrior is the most pot kettle black thing I've read on here

TBF to Lowton he was already on a yellow. It's Pieters or McMeil who should have taken one for the team.

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 8:01 am**

Don't think I dare watch it again. It looked bad enough live.

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 8:13 am**

Get use to watching it,it'll probably be shown for sometime to come and could well end up being goal of the season.

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 8:19 am**

Hope it's not going to become like that Eddie Gray goal against us they always show.

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 8:26 am**

If you watch it back it is certainly McNeil who should have taken one for the team on this goal. McNeil needs to improve on his defending decisions in these sort of situations. Beyond that he was our best player by far though.

Actually
said that watching the first replay of it on my stream, it'll take over from the Gray one.

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 8:42 am**

Lowton had already had a yellow and was the one player who couldn't foul him for that reason, but the others, probably chiefly Pieters, had plenty of chance. It was actually OUR free kick FF!! When he scored I almost burst out laughing!! It was THAT embarrassing!

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 9:49 am**

No doubt that Jeff Hendrick 'jogging' back almost put Son off....

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 11:15 am**

Not just that goal but we backed off into our penalty area every time they ran at us. At some point you have to front them up and make them make a decision. Terrible defending all day.

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 11:19 am**

apart from being applauded for being able to run from his area to ours, he only went past 2 of our players, the rest were just caught in his slipstream as he sauntered along without a care in the world.

and yes, its spurs, therefore it will be shown endlessly .

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 11:24 am**

Tarks should have stopped him in their box. Incidentally what was tarks actually doing there.

Kanes goal was no better defending tbh.

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 11:31 am**

It was clear from the big screen replays that Hendrick did not do enough and should have got in a position to take Son out or get a challenge in, a few others Lowton excepted could also have taken one for the team.

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 11:40 am**

This goal shows how much we need a defensive midfielder to protect the backline,there's no way Son should be allowed to run 70 yards without a challenge/tactical foul being made,naivety at best and lack of effort at worst.summed up the 90 minutes,we threw the towel in after 10 minutes,that's unacceptable at any level.

Seen it back and it was McNeil not Lowton who made the pathetic attempt of a tackle I was on about so he now wins 1st prize for me

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 11:59 am**

On Friday, I asked for:
A decent performance for the travelling fans (didn't get it)
No yellow cards to 'key players'.
No injuries.
We all knew that we were likely to get a good hiding, so no shocks there. Perhaps Dyche told them "And remember lads don't start taking 'one for the team' " if so I would back him.

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 12:42 pm**

It gets worse the more times you watch it. Beyond amateur.

If you’d have been at the stadium you’d have seen it on the big screens and come to that conclusion much earlier, perhaps even yesterday as most of us did.

Tbh McNeil is largely to blame for not fouling Son for the 3rd and for poor control on the first.

He was brilliant after that though

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 1:05 pm**

The stream I watched the commentators were screaming goal of the season,I'm 63 and I could have run from one end of the pitch tut tuther and scored that unchallenged ,goal of the season ...what a load of boll0cks

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 1:07 pm**

Pieters had the opportunity to go through him and he pulled out - total bitch move in my opinion

Tarks was in their box for OUR free kick and it actually wasn't that bad a free kick tbh and went pretty much straight to him, but he failed to gather it and control it and the rest is (allegedly

) goal of the f'ing season!!

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 2:39 pm**

I would lock them all up in a room tomorrow and put this goal on a tv on repeat for 2 hours

In fact Bella Emberg herself could have scored it

As much as I like Son, he's not Maradona.

Though we made him look like it.

Tarks had his shirt pulled at the free kick and lost valuable time rightly complaining to the ref. Whether it made any difference is anyone’s guess.

Pathetic "defending '

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 9:21 pm**

When a player camn dribble faster than any of our players can run 50 metres there's something very wrong.

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 9:51 pm**

A recruitment drive that means players signed going forwards, have genuine pace, anyone?

Posted: **Sun Dec 08, 2019 11:33 pm**

Is “taking one for the team” any different from “cynically fouling an opponent whose skill and speed makes us look amateurish “?
Just asking...

Dyche mentions it in his post match interview, clearly disappointed nobody committed a tactical foul - labelled us naive

Posted: **Mon Dec 09, 2019 6:55 am**

Reminiscent of Terry Butchers non tackle on cheat Maradona
9 yr olds put in more tackles at half time in home games

After 4 consecutive seasons in the PL, being naive doesn't wash I'm afraid.

Posted: **Mon Dec 09, 2019 4:26 pm**

I have looked at the replay several times and had Pieters been properly moving he was in a perfect position to take the ball cleanly, without the need to 'take one for the team. Trouble is,no right foot, although, I'm sure I will be reminded of his right footed 'spooned' clearance which became an assist against Southampton. If Dyche played him so that he could rest Taylor for this Saturday, then I am ok with that.

Archie Gemmil Scotland against Holland 1978 World Cup scored one of the Great Goals...he beat his opponents not given a guard of honour and doffed hats has he weaved his way to goal!

Posted: **Mon Dec 09, 2019 8:58 pm**

I was absolutely furious at the time from the defending of this goal and I still am. The worst thing is I'll probably see it over and over again for years to come! Amateur defending
