Good to hear comments from an expericenced player like him, can pick up on little tips from him.<br /><br />Did anyone else not like Mark allen's body language in the stevens game? when 9-6 down he acted like a ass, a few times he missed and stood with the cue pointing down the table.<br /><br />Pity Stevens losing, but in fairness had enough chances.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-70536552099866068122011-04-20T19:58:09.143+01:002011-04-20T19:58:09.143+01:00Hi David.

That's why he missed his 147 attempt.I guess that's normal considering the fact that he hasn't played a lot these last few months. Also, he had a tendency to go for very difficult pots, which he made most of the time to our delight, but I feel that under pressure against a more talented player (like Murphy in the next round), this could cost him. He'll have to show more patience if he wishes to advance, which I'm still not sure he cares enough for...<br /><br />This being said, on a more technical aspect, it seems to me that O'Sullivan is getting a bit lazy lately. Indeed, I observed that most of the time his cue is not enough parallel to the table. Have you observe that as well, or is it just me? As we all know, it's very difficult not to induce a bit of side when the butt of the cue is too elevated. On the short pots, he manages to get away with this because he's a very gifted player, but on the longer ones, I feel this is one of the reasons why he's struggling so much... Of course, I could be wrong here and I'm not trying to tell him how to play. That would be very presumptuous of me. I just wish he would lean on the table a bit more and pay closer attention to the angle of his cue.<br /><br />P.S. Sorry for my bad english folks, but as a french speaking person, I'm affraid I don't master the language as well as you do... :-)Alain (not Robidoux)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-4458465302440273172011-04-20T15:47:52.341+01:002011-04-20T15:47:52.341+01:00Annoying commentator: Angles, because within one h...Annoying commentator: Angles, because within one hour he said 'That was a better shot than it looked' six times!
