ottery st mary Posted 10 February, 2013 Share Posted 10 February, 2013 Fox played well and takes some shiiiite from some right idiots on this forum..

skintsaint Posted 10 February, 2013 Share Posted 10 February, 2013 Played alright last night but just a bit peeved that on the corner that cost us the goal he didn't go for the header as it was clear it wasn't reaching him.

St Matty Posted 10 February, 2013 Share Posted 10 February, 2013 What is the point of this thread? Do some people want to destroy him?

Alain Perrin Posted 10 February, 2013 Share Posted 10 February, 2013 I think the way we are now playing will suit Fox more. He's always been better going forward than defensively, mainly because of positional mistakes and the occasional concentration loss. As we press more he makes those mistakes on or around the halfway line rather than in our final third. It gives him more time to recover and his pace helps here. Shaw is better, but he's young. Fox is more than adequate backup, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eurosaint Posted 10 February, 2013 Share Posted 10 February, 2013 Given that he has lost his starting place to a 17 year old and has had very little game time recently, he came in and did a good job against one of the top teams in the land, not sure what more he could have done ? I presume that the OP had a barney with his partner and came on here to get it out of his system ?

Saint Martini Posted 10 February, 2013 Share Posted 10 February, 2013 He played 85 mins against Man Utd so him not having played much is a bit of a non-argument. Anyway, he did okay yesterday but he was at fault for their goal. Not because the set-play didn't work but because he didn't take up his regular position when he got back thus leaving our left flank wide open for Man City to attack. We had numbers back, more then enough. When Dzeko got the ball he was 1 against 4 and he had to hold up play. If Fox tracks the run on his side that goal probably doesn't happen (at least not as easily). Lets put it like this, his defensive instincts aren't the best. He didn't know what to do when he got back so he drifts inside, awful decision since we already had several players there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le Tissier Posted 10 February, 2013 Author Share Posted 10 February, 2013 Exactly, celebrate a great night at St Mary's....together as one! Always room for improvement. I'm Amazed some of you rate him as a premiership player. He put a good shift in yes. And can fault his effort today and contributed to a great win. This doesn't hide the fact he is crap and is player well above his level in the premier league. He was completely at fault for one goal today and to say he was left exposed is nonsense . Its not negativity to suggest this after such a great win! Its being a realist . And to be fair I've said fox is out of his league since the start of the season so in not just picking him out as gully isn't playing. Gully and fox won't be around long term I can assure you that.

Chin Strain Posted 10 February, 2013 Share Posted 10 February, 2013 Can you all come and speak to the couple behind me please. During yesterday's game it became apparent that Fox would appear to be to blame for global warming and all African famines, amongst other things. I recognise Fox has positional issues and isn't the best defender, but when he pings a peach of a cross field ball to Lambert and you hear 'Lambert made that a good ball' you sort of despair a bit. No mention of the quick thinking and quality ball for the first goal. They were having a go at him for pushing up the park...'what's he doing up there?'....erm, carrying out his managers instructions, compressing the play? Then again, it took 30 seconds for them to start their moaning yesterday, and I'm certain they will have found something to moan about all the way home last night. It was the same with Guly. He also has his obvious faults, but again when he was subbed in a game earlier this season having put in a good overall performance, despite them salvaging him for 70 minutes, he got a standing ovation. Same with last night when Fox goes off. You'd wonder if the penny would drop that maybe most other people are seeing different things. It's just so painful week in week out. I suppose they're the definition of a 'customer' and not a 'supporter'. If Fox had banged in a 40 yarder into the top corner last night it would have been the keepers fault, or he'd have miss hit it.

Jos laid into Clyne for the goal. Clyne didn't argue, he knew he should have taken a yellow for the team. Fox's quick thinking and superb ball to Lambert directly led to the 2nd goal. He was also. Left exposed on more than one occasion with him v two players. Yes he's not the best positionally, and I don't think he's PL class, but that's why he's back up to Shaw. We're not currently a big enough club to have two top drawer players in each position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le Tissier Posted 10 February, 2013 Author Share Posted 10 February, 2013 I see what you say But if fox done this or done that etc? Maybe if he did people wouldn't criticise him . The way I look at it is. How many other premiership teams benches would he get on!? Let alone on the pitch. Good lower league player but he's no way a premiership player for many reasons. Its funny how people always blame him misfortune on him being left exposed! Just like everyone was saying when Lallana was in front of him!??

I said that I don't think he's PL class and he has issues positionally. All I'm looking for is a bit more of a balanced view from the people sitting behind me - unfortunately some people just want / need a scape goat. Clyne may have been covering for Fox (that's what team mates do), but that doesn't exempt him from his share of the blame for not doing what he should have done.

Smirking_Saint Posted 10 February, 2013 Share Posted 10 February, 2013 He doesnt fill me with confidence but he didnt play that badly yesterday, I sort of hoped that he would have realised he wasnt getting the ball from the corner and would try to header it but alas he didnt. It was a stupid idea to clip it there anyway. The team should have been more wise to the brakeaway though, we didnt deal with it very well and it was a lucky goal for city too. Is he as good as Shaw ? No, but he wasnt that bad and we wouldnt have got anyone better to sit on the bench behind a young left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
