I witnessed on several occassions that Torres, Mata , Miereles all had free runs on the right of the pitch , the ball was with bosingwa and NO pressure what so ever from the opposing team. Instead of putting a through ball for the running players bosingwa froze. He didn't pass it forward or left, instead he waited for two Wolves defender to close him down thats when he tried to shield the ball and the defenders took the ball from him and started an attack from our own half. Now i am no manager but that really frustrated me. I say lets start playing sam at RB, starting from Pompey game.
If our players do what they are supposed to do, ( malouda be a proper winger and Bos attacking through the right ) then we have a very good team. its just that they aren't doing their job and thats the most frustrating part.
Bosingwa and Forward Play.

noticed this too, in acres of space and a simple pass would send one of our players through but instead he just waited for the wolves players to crowd him

Jose Bosingwa is the worst first team full back in the premier league. He if he is still here next season i may cry a little.

His decision making and pasing is often like Kalou in the opposition half which even at the start if the season I said. Shame about his injury

Bosingwa has been getting an awful lot of stick and rightly so, he has been truly awful. Going forward he's been average at best but his defending is shocking. He used to be suspect at the back but has got worse, he could never tackle but now he doesn't even know where he's suppose to be. He's so often completely out of place leaving opponents to have huge overlaps down their left flank.
But I have to ask why AVB is persisting with him? He should've been frozen out weeks ago, yes Brana is inured but we've got Ferreira and Hutchison who can play. Yes Ferreira is unspectacular but at least he's sold, he gets the basics right like where to actually be on the pitch without leaving gapping holes for opponents to take advantage of. The last couples of games have shown Boss to be inept, not to mention where was he in the embarrassment against Arsenal. And Hutchinson may not have much first team experience but has the character to step up no problem. Maybe he doesn't want to throw him in at the deep end after his comeback? But why oh why play Boss over either of these two?

Well observed guys. My grandfather would make better and well timed crosses than those of Bosingwa.

God, talk about overreaction! He's not the greatest defender but you can't be Ron Harris and Eusebio at the same time!
