That Moment Yesterday

Remember that moment yesterday when Samaras was running with the ball and all he had to do was pass to Stokes, and it was a goal? But no, he blazed it over the bar, and if he'd had 100 tries he wouldn't have scored once.

To me, that was worse than the penalty miss. It sums up everything wrong with Samaras. He has almost NO vision, and is one of the most mentally slow footballers I've ever seen. I am convinced that he didn't even look up and see Stokes, who would have been one-on-one. Everyone in the ground could see that pass, but everyone knew what he was going to do.

I was disgusted after that, and I feel worse about that than the penalty. I'm sure people will defend him and say he's a scapegoat, but he will never change.

 

So despite the fact theres already a running quite abusive thread on the guy you felt the need to start another one.

 

he probably didnt see stokes because his hair was in his eyes. Not suprised he didnt pass really, as iv said loads of times on here hes * ill leave it at that

 

The two goals against the scum obviously long forgotten.

 

I fed up with all these threads about sammy.yes he is not good enough yes he could have done better yesterday and yes all this moaning on here and in the stands is never going to change lennys mind about it so let's move on and support the team And sammy

 

Still had a better game than Hooper, who also blasted one wildly over the bar, disgusted with him too?

 

No, because Hooper would have passed if Stokes had been in a position to score a sitter. Obviously.

 

The mistake was playing sammy before stokes as stokes looked ok when he came on.that's not sammy fault tho

 

To all the people saying Stokes should have started ahead of Sammy. Remember Stokes against Rangers in the first Old Firm game of the season? He didn't exactly have a great game. Sammy's proved from the 2-0 and 3-0 games that he can torment Rangers silly so there's a good reason why Lenny picked him. Stop getting on Sammy's back people and just support the guy!

 

Yes, obviously.

Or you know, he could have done exactly the same thing as Samaras and skied it.

Or maybe gone himself and scored a screamer.

Would he have even gotten into the position Samaras was in to have to make the decision?

All ifs and buts.

 

I thought that too, but I think Neil played the team he thought was less likely to lose, rather than going for the out and out victory. It was a gamble and he got it right.

To be fair if you asked me before the game I would have been happy with the goalless draw, and we got it.

Maybe, just maybe, Neil got it right this time and I was wrong. Maybe he played for what he got, and could easily have gotten all three points.

Maybe, just maybe, he was right and I was wrong.

 

Can't believe i didn't notice it was such an easy chance for stokes.

Hang sammy, hang him high

So when sammy goes (or is hung ) who will be the scapegoat then

 

nice * take

 

* joke give the guy a * break .

Hooper was the worse player of the park lay off Sammy at least he looked like he wanted to do something Hooper shat out a 50/50 no fight no passion no desire he was not up for it .

 

It was very annoying and the pass to stokes seemed so obvious. but i don't see the point in continually criticising the guy.

 

Closed .. Plenty of Sammy bashing threads this could have been said in
