World Championship 2009 - Final Discussion

fair point i think though robbo has develped a better safety game in the last season or so and that should also help his longevity in the game

The problem with Robertson is I don't think he has a quick snooker brain especially when it comes to the tactical aspect. Yesterday morning he was getting bogged down, losing his rythem thinking too long over safety shots. They were usually very good shots but unlike an Ebdon, O'Sullivan or Dott he seems to losing his edge with the potting after long safety exchanges.

Anyway, Higgins will have a lead going into tomorrow.

He's definately got his "game face" on has John.

Seriously guys what kind of coffee does John drink? Because i want some!!!

Superb total clearance from Higgins. Murphy is in all sorts of trouble should he trail overnight by more than 2 frames.

well there is a balance last night in the first 4 frmes robbo had the right mixture of attack and safety yesterday morning he went far too negative but he said in his post match interview that he had a technical problem and wasnt cueing right in the saturday morning session so thats why he was playing so slow

[RGCirencester]

Ok, i dont drink... but your saying guiness makes you play like this? Im off to the pub, then my club!!!!!!!

Completely different higgins after the interval, murphy will regret not takign a lead before the interval

I might be alone here, but i'm still expecting a comeback from Shaun!

Hate to admit it but me to, although Higgins is starting to look comfy out there and settled.

Yes tomorrow we will see a better shaun murphy. He cant play as bad as he has today. credit to John Higgins however.

[drlog147]

[RocketRoy1983]

Either way Ive got £50 on Murphy at 7/1 and £25 on higgins at 12/1 (pre-tournament odds from victorchandler.com

True and he will come back, John needs to get as far ahead tonight as he can because Shawn will play better tomorrow. Still rooting for the Scotsman however

Murphy has now lost 5 on the trot to JH and 7 yesterday to NR. Worrying.
