Someone will mention that he's better at taking them than Owen soon....I agree

Other than that tho PL defenders have worked him out.. ;)
 
How he reminded me of Antigoal last night when he smacked over from 4 yards, even Forlan would have scored that....

;)
 
Stephen Hawkin would have scored, in fact even he saw it and laughed his bollox off...

;)

Didnt we get a corner from that effort?

That tells me there could have been a deflection.

He missed from 4 yards, end of...
 
The deflection could have taken it off target!

Do you agree?

There had to be some contact after he hit the ball by an Everton player in order for us to get the corner.

If it was v Liverpool you would be saying what a wonderful challenge it was from Hyypia or whoever to deflect the point blanc shot.

I don't agree no, IMO he got enough on it to call it a miss...
 
It wasn't a save and there was no corner. The only things that resulted from Ruuds miss was more frustration and a goal kick.

Trying to slate a striker who's scored 9 goals in 12 games this season - quite pathetic if you ask me..

Perhaps you should try and post a thread called "Is RVN's career over at 26?", helped Owen ;)

Margins, and he's probably not 100% fit. Still well on course for 30 goals this season, if he remains fit. Can't expect anything more than that.

30 in all comps you mean?

How many did he get in the league last year?

20-odd

23 I think</strong><hr></blockquote>

Spose he will end up with that again.

He just doesn't look the same player to me, i'd have bet my wages on him slamming that in last night.

He looked relieved to have got that goal from the pen last night IMO, not the sign of a confident striker IMO.

Just wish Owen could score 'em too...

It was deflected!

He looked the same as always when he scores for us - very happy.

Still should have scored IMO.

Would have if the defenders hadn't done that well and managed to get in the way. All strikers misses chances - you, as a Liverpool fan, should know that better than anyone!

Nah, I still think he should have scored.

Yes I admit that so far Baros apart, that our strikers have struggled.

Scored.

Daft answer

C'mon, prove to us that you at least have some better football understanding than Davo at least..</strong><hr></blockquote>


Are you trying to tar me and Davo with the same brush?

Like I said, I think any contact with the defender was minimal, and he should have scored.

Well done to him though, he is as assured as I have seen from the spot.
