essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 He gives himself absolutely no chance to cut off the overlapping player ( on purpose ) then decides walking towards our goal is better than running . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 4222 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I said as much yesterday. It was absolutely infuriating. Why it needs its own thread I dont know though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugly Mackems 134 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 He has no future at NUFC so why would he put himself out? Come Jan 1st e's free to choose another Club. All he then has to do is remain injury free . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Think he'll want a club nearer to his pop star girlfriend tbh, as long as he gets custody of the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 He was caught 2 on 1, if he went with the overlapping player, whoever had the ball would have had a tonne of space. If anyone is to blame it should be Cisse for not tracking Zabaleta (I think it was him who put the cross in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6785 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Regardless of who was at fault, his performances this season have been shite. He isnt alone either although he does have a reason (as Ugly Mackem pointed to). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35588 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I've never rated SImpson. He's a shit footballer and a less than competent defender. He's basically an athlete and that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWalrus 0 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) I've never rated SImpson. He's a shit footballer and a less than competent defender. He's basically an athlete and that's about it. Bang on. His first touch is a massive giveaway that he’s not a proper footballer. I remember a moment in the first half on Saturday. I think it was either Jonas or Anita who was in an advanced position. Simpson was in acres of space, roughly in line with the edge of their box, near the touchline. All he needed to do was take the pace off the ball and whip a ball into the box. Instead, his first touch was straight to their full back and they counter-attacked. He’s the master of turning attack into defence. Edited December 17, 2012 by BigWalrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Can't mark, cant cross and can't beat a man. He's reasonable in the tackle and he's better than Santon at clearing the ball of the line but that's about all you can say about him. He shouldn't be a starter for us but we decided not to replace him in the summer. We're now paying for that decision along with the one not to sign a centerback!

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) He decided to position himself so he couldn't track the overlapping player.If he'd wanted to he could have left a bit indecision in the players mind who had the ball.He reminds me a bit like Jenas.He can be neat on the ball but then does nowt with it.I don't know whether they were told to do it but both he and Santon were tucking in,leaving the City forwards the time and space to get around the back.,receive the ball,and square it into the danger area.The Citeh forwards seemed to stroll around throughout the game and still find acres of space.

Alex 35588 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Fuck all like Jenas, who was very gifted footballer with a heart the size of a pea. If you squint they look similar from a distance though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it before but he is no more than a moving cone. Positionally I have to say i think he's sound (despite the headless chicken act for Saturdays 3rd goal conceded), he looks to close down the angles and is quite effective at it a lot of the time and does just enough without commiting to any dick head lunges. Just when it comes to actually taking the ball off someone or beating a man with it or putting a cross in, his limited ability on the ball becomes all too apparent.

Gemmill 46034 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Lad at work saw Tulisa and Simpson out on Saturday night. He tried to get into their taxi and the driver told him he couldn't cos he'd been booked for Tulisa. So he stood next to the taxi and gave them the one man paparazzi treatment with his phone camera. They didn't like it much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
