Jase 43,479 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 But overall we've been helped more by referee decisions that hurt by them. We've had a whole bunch of bad calls, much worse than the penalty one go our way. We didn't lose to Sunderland because of poor refereeing, we lost because we were poor. We've been poor for much of the season. This was the last place team at home. Nobody's fault but our own that we didn't win.Yes, I know and I agree but only trying to look at both sides of the coin.

mannyfreshh 164 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 So disappointing.. I get that we're not the most talented squad and weren't favorites to win it all? But when were put in a situation where all we hav to do is beat bottom feeders and mid table teams,to win the title.. and not be able to beat them... It's just gut wrenching. No excuses for losing to the weakest team in the league at home, when u have everything to play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 The bizarre part about that Mata situation was how some on here kept blaming him for our poor league form in the past two seasons much in the same way people are now blaming our strikers for losses against Sunderland, Villa, Crystal Palace etc. Such simplistic thinking, it's unreal. Mata scored 12 goals and 12 assists in an under-performing team, sad how people just dis-valued that.02Oscar was on form at that time, no one expected this kind of collapse from him. Mata is far more consistent and we ended up missing that sadly.02So our 0-0 draw away to United wasn't anything to do with the lack of a striker? OK.02A striker should help to create chances by dragging players out of position and creating space. Eto'o doesn't do that. Ba doesn't do that. Torres doesn't do that.02Nor do they provide a rough ride for defenders through their physicality. Nor do they provide a decent aerial threat for crosses.02We do struggle against teams that defend deep against us, but I think the problem lies with our clearly inadequate strike-force. I've explained this to you time and time again.I just saw your post, I don't know who u were talkin to but its just funny how we've underestimated the importance of a proper striker. But we all watched drogba carry an average side to win the champions league with vital goals and physically making life difficult for defenders. What do our strikers offer???? Pace? no physicality? No long range goals? No individualistic goals like even sterling does? NoThey can only score when placed with the ball 5yards in front of goal and people are wondering why its easy to shut us out. We are all looking for entertaining football but we played that last season without strikers and we finished 15 points behind champions and out of the title race by January.Strikers are the most important part of a top team. xPetrCechx and zolayes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolovrat 20 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Blame the ref all you want, but he's not the we were missing chance after chance yesterday.. - Terry/Matic legit but disallowed goal NOT a ref call.- Ramirez clobbered by Larsson in front of the open net [red card+penalty] NOT a ref non-call.- Azpi/Altidore fake penalty NOT a ref call.And the linesman that made ALL these decisions is from Liverpool.

hjperdeath 2,226 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 People confusing officiating with a poor game. Just cause we had a poor game infront of goal doesn't mean officiating needs to be done by someone who's suffering with autism. Guaranteed we made things worse for ourselves but that does NOT justify the pathetic state of refereeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kolovrat 20 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 So?Ba's Miss? Etoo's Miss?The score would be 3:1 (or 2:1 if penalty missed) plus 11 against 10. That's what "So?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjperdeath 2,226 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 That's for Sure.But We have to blame ourselves too.I'm not saying we have to praise ourselves either. This was bound to be expected as we weren't able to pick out a proper striker for this season.But we would actually have had atleast a close 2-1 win if the referee had his mind set right. We would have grinded out a result just like against Swansea (where we also missed a bucket load of chances) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the ref's fault as well?Yeah, the ref was terrible, but blaming him is just making excuses and trying to cover up our embarrassing lack of quality in the final third. xPetrCechx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
