[Albion] Did Izquierdo mess his pants when he just had the goalie to beat ?

[Stat Brother]

Spot on. They really need to take up the slack. Propper and Stephens have no league goals between them which is just ridiculous while March, Knockaert, Izquierdo, Kayal and Locadia (when he's played there) have nine between them. That [gets calculator out] is 1.2 goals per midfielder to date this season. That's very, very poor, however you look at it.

At least we can rely on out centre backs making hay from the inch perfect deadball crosses...



...oh.


Why the hell are people moaning about goals scored, away form ect, this season.

By rights this team ought to be well well below t'other Albion.

 

[The Gem]

Just don't understand why he didn't knock it round the keeper and slot it into the empty net. Easy chance missed, sadly.

This

Not the first time he's cocked up what should have been a nailed-on goal. Yes, he's scored a few blinders but he just seems to lack a certain something when in really promising positions, whether that's seeing a better pass or a keener eye in front of goal.

This this and this

Is there a reason we're giving Jose shit for this and not Propper for missing the target entirely when through on goal?

This I think was a worse miss at least propper hadn't run around for 80 odd minutes.

Yeah Murphy would have been clinical in both of Jose's clear cut 1v1's, this season.
As would Tomer with all the penalties, and Baldock with the St John's Ambulance.

HAHA re Bladock

 

[perseus]

Too much confidence that his speed of reactions would be quicker than the keepers. He is playing a higher standard now. Better technique needed.

Choices


Manoeuvre to get space to get a clear shot on goal
Dribble around the keeper and shoot from a narrow angle (Mounie)

Addenda: this is flicking the ball with the outside of the foot to get clear of the keeper to find extra space for the shot, but Premier League keeper's can see this coming, but sometimes cannot stop it.

 

[Napper]

He lacks composure in those situations. I hope he is practising 1 on 1's this week.

 

[Green Gull]

How is the op justified? You think because he missed a chance they are justified to take a bat to his knees!?

Jesus, ever heard of sarcasm? , pretty sure the OP was joking in that regard.
The point he makes is justified, Izzy fluffed his lines and bottled it. He's a great player when he doesn't have too much time to think.

He had a bad first touch (it was late in the game so he must have been tired), which took him too close to the keeper, and then he had little time to adjust, and his finishing options were limited.

I don't think it's got much to do with 'bottle', 'technique', 'confidence', 'having time to think' or 'decision making'.

Forgot one, kick the ball wide of the keeper and if it's on your weaker foot, earn an equity award with a trailing leg and a dive (Murray for Palace)

 

[seagulls4ever]

Wrong thread.

 

[Brighton Mod]

Third time for us in two games and plenty more on MOtD. But a bad miss, looked like he lost control of the ball on the television.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Aren’t these things the basics of football? Or does it take more courage to shoot from outside the box when he’s not expected to score (and very rarely does). I could have taken a cricket bat to his knees after he missed that one. Pathetic.

Sometimes I'd like to punch you really hard in the face.

The OP is a complete knob, and I am now going to block him.....

Nope, looks like he has gone to Italy instead

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

If Propper, Izquierdo and the rest were as proficient in every situation as some on here expect them to be, then they’d be playing for a far bigger club than little old us.

 

[Justice]

He's still quite raw reminds of Mane at Saints in the early days. A good pre season and I'm quite sure we will see great things from Jose next season.

That's normally my argument but we are beginning to run out of 'far bigger clubs'.

[rippleman]

The thread title did make me chuckle.

The answer is no, it was a bad miss but I thought Propper’s was worse.

And Murray's two pathetic efforts (one the penalty) the week before weren't any better.

We broke our transfer record to buy a striker who has either been played out of position or has not played at all. I really am not understanding this!

Despite what [MENTION=30752]NooBHA[/MENTION] says it does seem that given the choice CH likes to 'Hughtonise' players on the training ground before throwing them into matches.
Someone on here alluded to that, suggesting CH needs to trust his players before he lets them play.

Unless you saw him surreptituously undertaking one of these manoeuvres shortly after his miss I think the answer is probably "no".
