Chesting it down in a packed midfield

[CarlingBlade]

We dropped ourselves right in the shit twice yesterday trying to chest the ball down yesterday in a very busy midfield.

I'm all for getting the ball under control but some times it just needs twatting upfront out of harms way.

Nope.
Just needs better vision and a better touch.
It wasn’t an issue for Coutts.
I will Never back any call for a midfielder to just twat it forwards unless he’s in our box and defending.

That decision is helped by a shout from a teammate. Without a shout I’m happy for players to be give licence to trust their ability.

Anything but Blackwell’s instruction to hook every ball over your shoulder....

Bash did it once near the end and he chested it further than I could kick it. And with the same lack of direction as well

We spent too much time in the second half doing little more than twatting it up front when we just needed to maintain a bit of possession and let them chase shadows.

Was that the one he chested across our 18 yard box which caused a little poo to come out??

Bash has a rubber chest, done it a few times when trying to burst forward

That was the one in particular I was thinking about when Downing nearly did a Snodgrass.

Prime example of a ball that needed twatting

The 'gerrit foward' brigade were out in force in the 2nd half near me and I kept shouting NO, keep hold of it and play the easy ball! Once we were 2-0 up, we could have passed it square to each other all night as far as I'm concerned as long as we keep the ball v 10 men, they can't score and will get more tired chasing our players around trying to get the ball back.

The Clarke chance in the first half shows what can happen if you are patient and look for the right opening. Incidentally, he should score there, the keeper hadn't even set himself and was able to kick it away almost from a standing position.

Just watched it again and it was a let off, which is what I felt at the time (it was Howson, rather than Downing, but we dodged a bullet regardless).

I was bang in line with it and it was a carbon copy of villas last minute winner.

Still gotta say it was a great win regardless and we looked awesome in the first half.

Same, de ja fooking vu I thought, was just waiting for net to ripple and the Boro cunts to start going mad.

One of the most suggestive double entendre titles for some time. Nice one.
