Calderon not injured

[turienzo's lovechild]

he looked SO fired up before the game........maybe he was actually just pissed off at not playing and needed to let off some steam

Interesting:

Poyet said of Calderon: "I needed to give him a bit of a rest and wanted him to get away and think about plenty of things.

As quoted from argus

Wonder what has happened

Mmm. Not liking the sound of that. It would appear something happened between the warmup and Gus giving the teamsheet in, there is absolutely NO reason to leave Calde out if fit. He's vital to us, and it effectively used up one of his options as subs being as Tanno was always unlikely to last the 90.

Find that all a bit worrying tbh.

Bearing in mind the amount of miles he covers in a match, I did wonder whether he was simply rested tonight. Or perhaps Gus felt Tanno is a more solid defender and could cope with Scannell better... and he wants Calde to think about the defensive side of his game. Or maybe when he was told he was getting a rest, he didn't react too well to the news.

Regardless, let's hope it all blows over soon.

Well obviously it was a late fitness test

No it wasn't. You don't do a fitness test with the subs half hour before kick off. Fitness tests are usually done well in advance of any player coming out to warm up.

Will be interesting to find out what has happened.

It's not unusual for us to include players in the warm-up who are not involved in the match.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

Says who ?

inside the club........definitely can't be revealed who

 

[catfish]

Hope there hasn't been a falling out. We need to bounce back from tonight's fiasco & a united squad is essential.

 

[OSRGull]

Say what you like but if it wasn't down to injury then it's a shocking decision by Poyet, we missed him alot at parts tonight.

Let's wait until we know what has happened before we decide if it's a bad decision or not.

Maybe not. But its not like Calderon is one of the players Gus chops and changes with - that back 4 is pretty much set in stone unless theres injury or suspension. Even then I thought Vincelot would start ahead of Tanno in that position.

Not that Tanno did a bad job tonight (we had a clean sheet before he went off). But Gus has effectively used up one of his subs before a ball has been kicked in electing to start with him.

It makes no logical sense, so something would seem to have happened there. I dunno what, but Calde is such an important player for us I can't believe he was just being "rested". Not when the options he took to compensate inevitably left us weaker.

Nope, not unless the bust up was planned beforehand.

No idea what's happened but it was known about beforehand.

Hope it's nothing too serious, all seems a bit odd.

i reckon gus and inigo have had a sexy latino falling out........probably over tapas or something

 

[Lush]

I have an image of a lot of pointing and shouting in Spanish in the dressing room, with Tanno holding Gus back, Vicente looking wide-eyed and everyone else looking totally confused.

quote from the http://www.seagulls site

Meanwhile, Poyet confirmed that the decision to play Mauricio Taricco instead of Inigo Calderon tonight was a tactical decision and the Spanish defender was not injured.

 

[driller]

any light on whether they have kissed and made up yet?

 

[BUTTERBALL]

If true, this is the worst news about last night. Calde has been brilliant so far and we missed him down the right last night, even though Tarrico played very well.

 

[Superseagull69]

We just lost to Palace in a game where we sorely missed Calde's presence. So i am afraid IMO it was a bad decision. No waiting necessary.

When asked in the Seagulls player Interview (about 1 min in ) if Calderon was tactical He never actually said yes. He actually said "we needed to address a few things" & looking at the way he answered the questions on Calderon It wasnt tactical things that needed addressing IMO.
So i just hope that it can all be sorted internally before Saturday.

 

[trueblue]

I watched the Seagulls Player interview too. I got the impression that as a team he's not been happy with the defending and therefore "we needed to address a few things". So he's not been happy with Calde's defending and decided to put in Tanno instead. Simple as that.

 

[Hunting 784561]

Barnes was useless without the link play down the right from Calde - whatever it was, get him him back in by Saturday.

OK what I am saying is has he had a bust up as allegedly Harley did last week yet started

Harley was injured - back spasm
