Feed the Yak and he will hold the ball up and let others into the game.. Erm..

[uknightbreed]

he set up a goal and missed 3 chances that he should have scored.

if he could put his chances away more .............he would be class.

It isn't just about today.
It's about our season, and future seasons. As for Beckford, yes, can't wait to give the lad a try if it comes off.

BTW.... Yak wasn't cheap.

That's the point.

Yak cost £13mill. Anyone better will cost more.

And Beckford? Better than the Yak?

2003–2004 Portsmouth 16
2004–2005 Portsmouth 13
2005–2006 Middlesbrough 13
2006–2007 Middlesbrough 12
2007– 2008 Everton 15

Beckford will never have a record that good in top flight football at 26 years old.

Writing off Yakubu can make you look a bit tittish in all fairness.

Speaking from experience here.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Played like the Yakubu from years long gone today. Good too see, injury considered. More of the same. please.

2003–2005 Portsmouth 29
2005–2007 Middlesbrough 25
2007– Everton 20+

If you want to talk about the past, then that's your choice after all, but bare in mind we won't qualify for Europe with Lineaker up front either, nor will we with Southall in goal and Pele in midfield.

It's about today, and tomorrow. Not about yesterday.

Trust you to drop the standards to personal abuse m8, just because not everyone agrees with you.

Certainly can. Its happened to me many a times, even today. After questioning why he was so far out wide as a lone striker, he then goes and puts in a David Beckham cross.

Yakubu exists to make us all look foolish

 

[Dylan]

Fantastic cross that. Made me look foolish after saying "BLOODY HELL YAK, WHY ARE YOU OUT THERE...."



Completely disagree. You leap to the defence of Yakubu all season saying he's coming back from a serious injury but it's suddenly a mute point with regards to Anichebe.

I thought he done very well, instrumental in scoring our vital second.

Good point, except for the fact that even a fit Anichebe isn't very good and I have never been a fan of his. I think he is very one-dimensional and the only thing he really brings to the pitch is his strength. He had a couple of decent runs in the side, but really only ever performed in the UEFA cup. The only reason Anichebe should be in the side is when injuries force it.

Wow mate, where did that come from.

Just pointing out that you're badly wrong here, like everybody else is aware of.

Relax fella.

 

[Dylan]

I honestly don't think that is abuse. I think you are over-reacting just a tad there.

And you are completely wrong about Yakubu

You're saying all this "we dont play hoof ball anymore, he's not needed" blah blah without even thinking about...

a) Who's you get that's better, on the cheap, and will get you 20+ nailed on for that cash (so a good record is worthwhile).
b) Options. The hoof is needed sometimes. What about a 4-4-2? Or going 4-3-3?
c) Yak has played about 4 full 90minutes. Scored twice, set up a few too. So he's not that [Poor language removed].
d) Injuries. Minus the bad one last season, Yak barely gets injured, so he's reliable.
e) There are positions that needs sorting the most and up front isnt really one that needs it. Right back. Right wing. Oh and keeping Pienaar. With no money.

So before you start going "we wanna be top 4" blah blah blah and the Yak isnt good enough, answer them then say the Yak aint good enough.

He missed a peno today and won 5.1. If the score was different then I'd maybe argue the toss why he's not good enough and that. But he was good today, on another day he'd have had 3 himself (and pasties).

Oh and as for Beckford. I think we're scraping the barrel with him and taking a chance on a free. He's been lower league all his career. He's no Yak.

 

[bluebastardo]

And you are completely wrong about Yakubu

Completely wrong, by fact, or your opinion?
What gives your opinion such weight to say that someone elses is completely wrong, when the facts show, that firstly Yak isn't scoring, yet only the hopes show, that he will begin scoring soon.

That's some statement Dylan. You should know better m8.

 

[Hayee]

Fantastic cross that. Made me look foolish after saying "BLOODY HELL YAK, WHY ARE YOU OUT THERE...."

i said, rather loudly "GET IN THE ******* BOX YAK" its lucky everyone around me knows me

*yawn* I am not feeding you today. Someone else can bait you.

 

[chicoazul]

He missed a penalty and a couple of decent chances = massive rant about him being dung = massive kneejerk by the BB cat.
