Half fan Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 8 hours ago, sage said: To suggest Wassall's decision to pick Olsson over Warnock based on their relative merits is symbolic of a badly run club is nonsense or trolling. As you wish, oh wise one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynny Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 The team I play for conceded a goal like the ones against Wolves and Rotherham. The attacker pulled off the cb on to the much shorter fb and easily beat him in the air. The blame laid squarely with the cb who had left him. As for the 2 goals Derby conceded in the aforementioned matches, Shackell should have been marking Saville and Best. But then again Shackell isn't allowed to have any faults in his defensive duties pointed out is he, so must be Keogh's fault, he always has a mistake in after all.

Got forward into the box, put a good ball in, and even showed pace for it. Hope you were watching Wassall. Having said that, and with all the concerns I have with Olsson, Christie was to blaime even more so at Rotherham when i watch the goals back again. Thankfully he got dropped and now has returned a better player. Good management? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Keown analysed one of Andy Carroll's goals from the weekend, think it was his third. It was a similar situation to the Rovrum equaliser where the attacker came in at the back post and won a header against the smaller full-back. In Keown's opinion, Bellerin had no chance and in that situation, Koscielny should have swapped places with Bellerin, pushing him more central, so Koscielny could go wide to cover Carroll. In the situation of the Rotherham goal, the same applies. Shackell should have pulled the full-back in and gone wide himself. If that happened I think Shackell would have defended it.

I'd have question for Keown. How many times you see fb and cb swapping their men in modern football? You don't. Those situations happens so fastly that there is no time for that.

Carroll is one of the strongest aerial threats in Football, let alone at West Ham, why Debuchy was marking him I've no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that wasn't one, you have to play zonally in normal, quick crosses or otherwise you're automaticly late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keown's response was that it's difficult to do, and should only be in exceptional cases, and argued that Arsenal should have allowed for that to happen when you have the greatest aerial threat in the league attacking you. Of course you could be forgiven for not describing Leon Best as an 'exceptional threat', but in part of the planning for a game you should look at the strengths of particularly the opposition's attacking players, and try to make allowances to deal with those.

Rampage Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Warnock is the best replacement for an injured Olsson. Warnock will desperately want his League winners medal at Wigan AND a Wembley appearance for us if he could get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olsson isn't injured, Warnock wouldn't be on our bench if we recalled him. We may as well leave him at Wigan, let him win the league, or get autos at very least, then he can come back to us for the play-offs if needed. If not then ta very much and he'll probably go to Wigan on a free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
