Pienaar's distribution

Neiler · January 28, 2009

Cant agree with any of that, yeah he lost a few balls and is incline to but was close to our best player in the second half, gives us more then not.

Not Pienaar's fault. You should ask where the hell was Hibbert.

Hibbert had a fine game got forward well and put in plenty of tackles,i don't have the figures but i bet he completed more passes than pineaar.

Understatement of the year that Neiler. (y)

yes but it is about what position you play and what are you doing about it.

Yes Ghost I watched the game and I could see hibbert way out of it trotting back as there tawt was running after the ball to score. Now Hibbert is the RB I believe so why was not back there covering.

You were there? Bloody hell got back to Burnley quick enough, or did you watch a stream?

Just wondering that was all.

Back on point.

I don't think Hibbert should have been marauding anywhere, last minute I would have expected the instruction from Moyes to defend and stay back. Thats how I would have done it on FM.

His passing really is disgusting. I was going to post a similar thread but thought it would be interpreted as a knee jerk reaction, but to be fair I have been mentioning it since Chelsea - when his passing was literally the worst I have ever seen from a professional footballer.

But hey, hes pacey, has dreadlocks, looks flair, can cross a ball... but ask him to pass the ball 5/6 yards and he's pathetic.

Most definitely needs to improve his passing. Without a doubt. Maybe he needs a break? Drop him for Gosling?

It just seems to be simple short passes which he is fuc*ing up which makes it all the more frustrating.

Only seems to of come in to his game this season.

Everything else is fine so it seems odd he has developed this habit.

Well Ghost reckon I will start calling you Davey because sure as hell any player with a bit of sense so late should be doing just that defending. Of our back four only 3 were back.

GrandOldTeam · January 28, 2009

I have just seen their goal and I have to agree with some Kippers (never thought I would see the day!)

Well hopefully that's Pienaar's annual 90th minute moment of ******* madness out of the way for this season.

What a moronic decision to play that kind of ball. Credit to Van Persie though, what a ******* finish

I agree that Anichebe is lazy but Usain Bolt wouldn't have caught that ball Pienaar played mate.

then gives the ball away in the 92nd minute of the game when he had noone near him and no need to try and play a ridiculous pass. Absolute c**t of a bad decision. he holds onto the ball, we win the game. simple as that. so he tries a 30 yard ball

a) Pienaar played ok, but his ridiculous decision to play that pass in the 92nd min of the game instead of seeing the game out led to the goal.

In my opinion there were 3 reasons why we handed them a point :

1. Pienaar ridiculous ball to Anichebe
2. Jagielka getting caught out of position - the guy has been amazing for us but its criminal not be goal-side in the 93rd minute
3. Howard going to ground too quickly and the ball flying inches above his head

Moyes should consider bringing him off earlier in games...

Well Hibbert's positioning is shocking anyway, I have mentioned that many times. Mind you I saw him play a killer cross in the first half, before my stream packed up.

To be fair to Hibbert, he has done very well recently.

Well to be fair mate, i have been dissapointed with some of his passing lately but i think he offers the team more then not, hes a pass and move player.

Does anyone else remember how gash we were when he was injured and we suddenly began to pick up points when he came back into it, coincidence i think not!

He usually does well against the bigger sides when all he is asked to do is defend.

I wouldnt blame him for their goal, far from it. :huh:

He was terrible at the end of the game, specially in that corner that should have been crossed to the area, maybe to SCORE ANOTHER GOAL AND KEEP THE 3 POINTS!!!
