Mensah

[tgo226]

Played alright yesterday, one thing that pissed me off though is when we finally had some decent possession, passing it around well, it goes back to Mensah under no pressure whatsoever and he lumps it forward, so Bolton lump it back and he loses the header to Davies and they fashion the first chance that bardo blocked off the line.

When will he learn to keep calm at the back. A very good defender but too uncomfortable on the ball

Too injury prone. Good footballer though - when fit.

I laughed out loud when he did it, we had a really good spell of one and two touch football for about a minute and Mensah came in the Peter Kay, 'Av that yer cunt'.

All our center backs do it,must be part of Brucies game plan.

I was furious with Anton for their first goal yesterday, but watching it on motd the error was actually Mensah's, he just wandered off leaving Anton to mark Davis and Klasnitch, unsuprisingly he went to Davis as Klasnitch can't score for toffee....normally.

That was my thinking also. Mind there was nobody marking the lad putting the cross in and Bardsley didn't do his best to get across to challenge Klasnich.

i missed the cross cos i was watching sturridge have a go at muntari for going in late after he played the pass. typical muntari

It was a cracking cross, but Onuoha, once again, was too narrow when defending a cross and Elmo wasn't back helping him out so gave their lad all the space in the world.

And Bardsley should have challenged better in the air, but without seeing it again, I think he only just clicked on he had to go and mark Klasnic as the centre backs had left him.

I can only assume you miss the calm passes out the back he does and the countless times he cooly chests the ball down on to the defender next to him.
