Title: Kamara - kiss of death sub
Post by: 3 Cherries on December 13, 2020, 06:32:38 PM
Kamara came on gave away the penalty - did little else (Mitro did the same...)

Why bring Kamara on? Should have given Tom a chance.

Can't blame him for the penalty but apart from that was a headless chicken and offered very little.

Asinine to blame Kamara for that decision.

is that a joke, won every single header, probably had well over 90% passing accuracy and was winning tackles as well as actually closing down at pace. he did well when he came on.

Kamara has pace, but not the brightest in football terms. Its no good putting him on to keep them honest because his first touch is so bad. He has little control. He should know that VAR will give a penalty if he doesn't keep his arms by his side. He makes wrong decisions too many times. Basically he is trying too hard. Still, a great team performance overall and a creditable result that should have been 3 points.

I could understand bringing him on, 2 midfielders at centre half and not the quickest either. Problem was we didnt get much chance to test that's the one time we did (at 1-1) Zambo took too long to play the ball but that happens.

My only gripe is why turn your back, face the ball jump and take it in the face. I would have taken a point before the game so not overly down about it, is a point i didnt expect

I personally believe if you're in a wall you face the ball and jump. You don't turn away, you take it in the face if you have to, never been a fan of players turning their backs. Either way very harsh penalty

Liverpool looked incredibly fragile at the back and kept making mistakes, Kamara is the sort of player to run at players and force those errors. Looking at the bench the only other option was Kebano.

Or Neeskens. Kamara is purely for pace and little else. He can score, but he doesn't have good technique or hold up play. Think Cairney could've been a good shout as whilst I prefer RLC in the AM position, Cairney has enough ability to hold up play and play a pass, which I think is what we needed.

Think Parker got the subs wrong. Not necessarily taking the players off (lemina looked not match fit towards the end), but who he put on. Cairney, Reed and Neeskens.

We need to get in more quality in depth in the attacking third in January.

Kamara had that 'Rawness' about his game, now he's more disciplined but has lost that 'Rawness', that in effect was the thing I looked forward to seeing. He had the ability to change matches. These days not so much.

A shame about the impact the substitution had on the match. Cavaleiro drops back and gives away a needless free kick from which Kamara concedes a needless penalty. The moment in added time when Kamara ran 15 yards offside without realising that he was makes me think he hasn't enough nous for this league.

no

Just checked. Last game he came on was 19 mins against Man City (for which Whoscored gave him a rating of 5.95) it was his appearance before that where he got a red against palace.

Like it or not, he wasn't good enough for a second rate Turkish team and he's not good enough for us. Liability

When I seen kamara was coming on, I said  myself "he's going to cost us points here"
I wasn't sure how exactly. But I was right. He's a liability

It's simply untrue that only someone who has 'played the game' can interpret what he sees. (Nevertheless, do tell me your credentials: if they're anything less than having played first XI football for a professional club, surely your remark will seem even more baseless.)

Irrespective of whether Anguissa delayed the pass, Kamara ran into an offside position and just kept on running, oblivious to the fact he was running further and further offside.

so he was either playing to the whistle, or time wasting, by not allowing liverpool to take an early kick. it was a great run, with a poorly timed pass. i get why zambo probably took so long, we havent played with a striker for so long that he wont be used to them making good runs.

He was what he does best. He was a nuisance putting pressure on the Liverpool defence. Caused them problems and we needed his legs as a number of the players were certainly struggling  but they had put in a fantastic shift.

Kamara can only be said to be 'playing to the whistle' if Anguissa has already passed the ball. Up to that moment, a player with more awareness checks his initial run to try to stay onside for whenever the pass eventually comes. (Fancy someone who's supposedly 'played the game' not knowing this.)

As for Kamara not allowing Liverpool to take a quick free-kick: you're clutching at straws with this. Are you even sure a free kick was awarded? Anguissa's ball went through to Becker. Didn't play simply continue? Whatever happened, Kamara's run had no impact on what Liverpool did next.

yes it did. the ref could have easily played on if kamara checks his run and allisson comes out to get it.  and you say im clutching at straws, yet you are lambasting the third quickest player in the league, for travelling a whole 15 yards past the back line because zambo didnt pick the pass quick enough. how crap was cav for kicking the ball at allsion twice when clean through. tosin? he missed two sitter. did rlc even manage a shot? not great for our central man.

Not the 'you-haven't-played-the-game-so-you-can't-know-what-you're-on-about' line.

It's simply untrue that only someone who has 'played the game' can interpret what he sees. (Nevertheless, do tell me your credentials: if they're anything less than having played first XI football for a professional club, surely your remark will seem even more baseless.)

Irrespective of whether Anguissa delayed the pass, Kamara ran into an offside position and just kept on running, oblivious to the fact he was running further and further offside.
so he was either playing to the whistle, or time wasting, by not allowing liverpool to take an early kick. it was a great run, with a poorly timed pass. i get why zambo probably took so long, we havent played with a striker for so long that he wont be used to them making good runs.

Arthur you're wasting your time arguing, Ben is the Chairman of the Kamara fan club!
not at all, if criticism is fair, then kamara deserves all that he is owed. i just dont see how you can criticise a pacey striker for making a great run that the midfielder didnt pick out. just seems rather silly to me 

Clever strikers bend their runs. Good strikers score goals. Kamara is neither a clever striker nor a good striker.

Hopefully we bring in someone half decent in January.
clever strikers do bend their run and will run into an offside position at least a dozen times again, its just usually the camera doesnt follow the run if the pass isnt played

Ben, I'm sensing that I (nor any of the other posters) will be able to convince you that Abou isn't the superstar you think he is.

However, I commend you on your unwavering support of one of our players - I may not agree with your analysis, but I do respect your appreciation of one of our less-loved stars.

Agree, Zambo had to play it earlier, wa sone of his only mistakes in the game, if that pass comes then there is a chance bug it is what it is, a good point all in all

I personally do not think he is a superstar, but the run was a good one, the pass came too late.

The penalty well they happen, the rules are what they are these days. His mistake was jumping and turning his back, let it hit you in the face, the play stops then if your hurt.

As i say it is what it is, but we got an unexpected point, in fact maybe even 4 unexpected points from the last 3 games

He went to soon, he didn't look across the line to see if he was in line with the defenders, he was way, way off side.
he went to soon? he made a run hoping the midfielder would pick him out.

Why run before the ball is played though? He's lightning, had fresh legs, and the defender is facing the other way and needs to turn. If he hangs on the defender's shoulder and runs when Anguissa releases the ball, he's in. No need to move any sooner.

yes it did. the ref could have easily played on if kamara checks his run and allisson comes out to get it.

I think the referee did exactly that: Becker had the ball so the referee played on.

... and you say im clutching at straws, yet you are lambasting the third quickest player in the league, for travelling a whole 15 yards past the back line because zambo didnt pick the pass quick enough. how crap was cav for kicking the ball at allsion twice when clean through. tosin? he missed two sitter. did rlc even manage a shot? not great for our central man.

If this were a topic about either Cavaleiro or Adabayeiro's failure to score, that is what we would be discussing. But it's not. Your attempt to drag these events into the this thread to imply I am being unfair on Kamara is, in itself, unfair.

In all likelihood, had you not made your 'you haven't played the game' comment, I doubt I would have replied. Perhaps it was just a throw-away remark on your part, but you can't expect me to defer to your opinion just because you've played a bit of minor league football.

You can't blame Kamara for the pen, it hit his arm, raised because he was jumping, even though he half turned as the ball came at him, and his arm wasn't   stretched out to the ball -  a natural response like everyone else's in the wall, and all players in walls in every game.

Completely ridiculous pen.
So now players  have to jump in walls with their arms  by the sides.

Ridiculous.

The ref was blatantly biased, and i don't use  those words lightly.

Missed motd, but just seen on the BBC site, that the pundits praised the ref, thought he  was very good!!!!!
No-one can tell me that that our first pen appeal, which ref looked at for about 10 minutes, wasn't a pen.

The thing is 'football' is his job, although part of a team. The 'Rules' are unfair, but he knows or should know the 'Rules', he transgressed the 'Rules' so the team got punished. To debate that he needs to be in that position in order to jump is a futile one. Yes he needs to get elevation, yes that would be restricted because of the 'Rules'. Trying to do a jump from a standing position is hard enough.

I really don't think you can blame AK for the pen. He jumped as instructed and turned as many do in that situation. Neither do I think he did that badly during his relatively short time on the pitch.
That said he wouldn't have been my choice of sub in the circumstances, I would have used TC to try to give us more control in midfield.

As for running 15 yards offside, he was right to make the run, Anguissa just did not release the ball early enough.

A shame about the impact the substitution had on the match. Cavaleiro drops back and gives away a needless free kick from which Kamara concedes a needless penalty. The moment in added time when Kamara ran 15 yards offside without realising that he was makes me think he hasn't enough nous for this league.

I noticed that too. Shouldn't have turned his back in the wall, so I was already thinking 'you wally', then that offside just reinforced it.
For a bit of balance 3 players in that wall jumped and turned

Yep, but it hit Kamara, they all know the Rules, they must practice defending free kicks in training ground sessions.
Amnd it hit Kamara, and if it had hit Cav would we have a thread about how hes to blame, or if it pearolled towards lookman on the floor and hit his arm?

Its an unfair penalty against whoever and some on here who hate...and yes thats the word....Kamara just have another stick to hit him with.

Well, it's a forum, we could all start threads where we all concentrate on all the positives, where the negative aspects of the game are totally ignored. As for players reading threads / forum and negative comments, that's 'part and parcel' of being a footballer. There is no other occupation where you get paid £30,000 per week, under perform and get to keep your job.

Can't blame him for the penalty but apart from that was a headless chicken and offered very little.
is that a joke, won every single header, probably had well over 90% passing accuracy and was winning tackles as well as actually closing down at pace. he did well when he came on.
0001.jpeg 0001.jpeg people just get a down on a player and can't help moaning, if he is so crap why does Parker play him?

I like the fact that in two playoff finals with two different managers he started each game.

At the moment, he's lost his 'sparkle', he's been given opportunities, why isn't he a 'regular starter?'

Even if kamara collected the ball from an inside position, he would have missed the opportunity anyway. Pointless argument.
We need someone better for backup

For a bit more balance, the others are only half-turned (only number you can see in that picture is 47) and they also have their arms tucked in. Souness actually said something similar post match - he said Anguissa did what he's supposed to (ok he's further from the ball, but you can see his arm across his body in that picture, in contrast to Kamara, whose arm in the full footage is way out to the side) and that showed why Kamara was wrong.

Thanks for really sensible posts, MJG, on a thread loaded with undeserved nastiness.

:plus one:
Totally agree, 4 pages of mostly negative comments for a player who was only on for 20 minutes or so. Give the guy a break, nobody's perfect.

by your comment then the other two are wallys as well for turning as well.

At worst they're half wallies for only being half-turned, whereas Kamara is full wally  :005:

But materially, I don't think either of them, unlike Kamara, would have fallen foul of the new handball rule had the ball hit them, specifically the following:

'The hand/arm is clearly away from the body and outside the "body line".'
'A deflection clearly makes no difference to the ball touching a hand/arm that is clearly extended away from the body and/or above the shoulder.'


Q&A: What is the new handball rule? - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54321867

Also (this part not aimed at you) have to say I object to some of the comments about this thread being negative etc. I'm a big fan of AK47 and have generally defended him after his various mistakes in the past. But he made another mistake on Sunday, like Lookman did with the penalty the other day and all players do from time to time. No it doesn't make them bad people or useless but fans should still be able to discuss the incident on a forum IMO.

Cav's been given a lot of playing time recently much to the disgust of a fair few on here but that game time is slowly working for him. AK gets a few minutes to make his mark and try and get more game time.
The fella needs more time and those on his case need to count to ten and move on.

Great performance by one and all and Kamara has a part to play. Disappointed he turned his back in the wall when he jumped  for the pen though .  You keep the wall compact and stand strong at all costs .That was schoolboy stuff.
The instructions are for all to jump, thats why the lad lays on the ground and as I show below 3 turned their backs

Well you can jump of course, but never turn your back on the ball in a wall. Not having a go at Kamara , down to the coaching staff,because oour wall was a joke, and turning your back is schoolboy for me.

Mariner never gives us anything. Wasnt it him that missed our `goal `(Kebano ) against Leeds at home in 2018 ? The ball was metre over the line and everyone in the stadium except him saw it. He just loves giving decisions against Fulham.
