Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [28th November - 3rd December 2014]

Excellent first half performance overall. We've dominated them from start to finish and played very well. Looking very confident for the first time in a long time.

Smalling has been very good, but RvP just looks devoid of any confidence. Probably time to get Falcao on.

Fellaini has barely put a foot wrong either...
 
I know you want Falcao on, but this guy is very fragile.
Taking risk on this player, when we are dominating makes no sense.
 
Yep RVP looks a broken man, which is sad to see but how many games does he need? Wouldn't be surprised to see Falcao on Tuesday

He's just old and slow. It's obvious this would hapoen he's like 31 years old. He's always had a good left foot no mistake but he can't get in a position to use it.

It's not a speed thing, everything he's doing is similar to what he's always done, but he's just not finishing properly.

Being 31 doesn't mean you suddenly stop being able to score. :confused:

That's what I thought but then people started suggesting confidence issues. I think it's both age and confidence, he's too slow so can't get past players like he used to that means less goals and low confidence.

That's a good point actually statistics suggest he's making the same runs just not converting the chances.
 
Just that half a yard difference can mean you get to the ball but not fast enough to make a clean connection and get closed down by the keeper. Making the same run but being constantly offside or half a yard slower to the ball makes all the difference.

Then you lose a bit of confidence and start snatching at your chances.

There was a break in play in the first half when you could see it's a confidence thing. He took one touch far too many when he could have pulled the trigger from outside the box. Hull cleared with a sliding tackle
