You didn’t answer my question though? If the game had been 3-0 (which it should have) and she had two assists, I don’t think people would be saying she had a bad game. Other players’ lack of finishing is out of her control especially when she gives them perfect balls.
Also, I don’t think she had clear chances (she didn’t even register a shot) this game that she completely blew like the first and second game. I consider a chance something like Tobin had. Press received the ball a few times around the 18 where she could have had a better touch to create something, but that’s not technically a chance. Which is an issue if no one is playing in and creating chances for your CF in 55 minutes. Not connecting with the front line isn’t her fault alone, there a three players up there, the other players on the front line need to be making runs into the box as well. Blame can’t be put of one person for the front 3 not connecting.
People let others off the hook for the same things they get on CP for. For example, if you want to talk about not creating chances and not connecting with the front line, out of everyone that played on the front line at one point during that game, Tobin, Hanson, Russo... CP had the most run of play chances created (2) in the game. Tobin had 3 from corners and 1 in the run of play. The others, zero.
I’d say she sucked the first two games, no doubt, and her touch was off this game obviously, but she didn’t miss any big chances and she didn’t miss any wide open players. Which is the parameter you’re using for saying she sucked. I’m not trying to change your opinion but in general I think sometimes the good stuff she does is overshadowed by her bad touches. Where as for other players, all of their bad touches and missed passes and BIG missed chances are forgiven if they end up with an assist. Which she should have had by no fault of her own.
Okay i will say this first to get this out of the way: i didn’t “let anyone else off the hook” for that game. Except maybe jackie (who got potm js). i don’t follow their team as much as i do awfc, so i’m not invested if they win or not. So my reason for watching was entirely for crispy and toaster. And so all my reactions were centered on them. Simple as that. You didn’t see me say anything abt other players because i don’t know them as well or care enough about them to have an opinion on them. That doesn’t mean i “let them off the hook for something i get on cp for”. I simply do not care about them to give a fuck 🙊
But yes I acknowledge that she did stuff right too. And i’m not trying to tell anyone that she’s outright a bad player just because i said she sucked one time. You said it yourself, she was off that game. No big. She’ll do better, i know. I’m just not the type of person who would coddle a player for not playing the way i know they can. Especially not a player i’ve followed for like 5 years and so. You’ve got the wrong girl if that’s what you were expecting.
But yeah!! The rest of the team sucked as well dw ik. Lmao. I jus didn’t say anything. And if they had finished their chances i dunno if i woulda said anything different. Maybe i would have. Idk. Lmao. I mean the tendency is that when players get on the score sheet for a goal or an assist, people forget the rest of their performance. But yeah them not finishing, you’re right that’s totally not on her. Never said it was anyway. Just thought she wasn’t up to her usual standards that’s why i posted that.
But it seems like people totally misread my liveblogging of the game (which is basically me shit posting) as an actual analysis of the game which it totally isn’t. Lmao. I like to be hard on her and tobacco to be funny. That’s kind of my brand. Don’t take it too seriously! It’s not like my opinions matter in the grand scheme of things anyway? 😂
So yeah, i’ve been a fan of cp’s for a long time and i’m sure u kno too, that that wasn’t her best game. Didn’t say it was worse than the first 2 but those times she didn’t really have enough time to show her stuff so it’s not a good point of comparison. I’m not blaming her for anything, especially not for the less than stellar performance of the team overall (minus the goal i guess). But yeah it’s no big. 🤗
