bluegecko 306 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 has your carer let you loose for the morning? Bairds must have been showing a different game. He held the ball up well, was at the heart of almost everything positive we did but was continually let down by those arround him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_1 1,136 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I didn't think he was that good last night either.Probably the best of a bad bunch, last night was horrendous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
don logan 8,076 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 His work rate was poor, no doubt. It's not all about what he did on the ball. There will be large tracts of Sunday's game when we'll be chasing possession and chasing is not in EHD's make up. Sunday will be a day for work horses, not show ponies, if we're to come away with anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grantmcmillan1990 0 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 i thought diouf was one of our better players last night, some great passes and always good in possesion. only fault was his cheeky dive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weedurranty 28 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I was shocked by the lack of effort from EHD last night. His work off the ball was, at best, pedestrian and he had no presence whatsoever when it was played up to him. His tracking back and pressing were non existent - in short a disgrace to the shirt.He CANNOT feature in the starting eleven on Sunday. Absolutely no room for passengers.close pie hole pls and fuck off Timothy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryMc 2,394 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Why the fuck are people so concerned about what every player does off the ball? Lafferty is the probably most hard working player in our team but he is 100% gash.Diouf works his arse of in the right areas, the areas where an attacking player should be working his arse off.So fuck off and away and take your face for a shite!!

As mentioned in The Rabbit's match report, Diouf has still to register a shot on target for us, hardly hurting the opposition is he? At least Lafferty is working to get into these positionsAnd it matters quite a bit in football what teams/players do when not in possession. Sunday will be a war, work rate will have a heavy bearing on the outcome. If we have learnt one thing from the last Cup game, we can't stand off Celtic - we've got to close them down and I'm afraid EHD doesn't do closing down.

FlippinEck 3,708 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 He ran himself into the ground for us last night, I saw him once not run for the ball when it was passed miles in front of him and this was about 70/75 minutes in when he was knackered... not his fault the managment couldnt see he was fucked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was there last night to support Lafferty and I think he did that very well.By your reckoning a player can run themselves ragged but if they don't score they're shite.

If we have learnt one thing from the last Cup game, we can't stand off Celtic - we've got to close them down and I'm afraid EHD doesn't do closing down.Lafferty makes himself available then what? He gets the ball and puts it our for a shy or goal kick for the opposing team.Diouf makes himself available gets the ball makes a good pass or gets us a shy or a corner. Lafferty is a talentless passenger. Diouf ran his socks off in the last Old Firm and also put in a good shift last night.There is no need whatsoever for every player to close down because then when we finally get the ball back we have no players in good positions to pass to or our attacking players end up out of position and knackered and unable to mount an attack.Diouf is an intelligent player who finds space and closes down and uses his energy in the right areas. There is absolutely no need for Lafferty to sprint towards defenders at full pelt when he has no hope of getting the ball. Then they pass the ball round him and have plenty of space to pick some passes out.If Lafferty kept some energy for the last 10 minutess then maybe he could have taken those chances into the box rather than fluffing shots from outside the box.

Nicika Jelavic 7 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Oh deary me, El Hadji Diouf was arguably our best player why are you expecting him to track back when he's playing just behind the striker? He was our playmaker last night and in the second half produced some good moves! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
