They had that with Drogba and we didn't in the first half. Earlier in the season it was bouncing of him or he was being beaten in the air. he's fixed that now. So so happy with him after y'day
Sometimes in football you just have to take it. Whe you lose, when a rival wins. They've all had it too. That's the game. We've had loads of great days and will have again. That's the great thing with this game. You get another chance.
Seriously the b0ll0cks on the lad today. Keep it up and he'll be a legend for club and country.
I said in another thread that it was the forward's equivalent of what Gerrard has done in games over the years
yeah. I said before the start of the game that that was where the hole is and that's why I couldn't see us win. looks like fred milne was right should have just gone 442 and bombed on. Still massively heartened by Carroll. That's the big thing out of this. Lad can be a force of nature.
He stepped it when we did and gave it a go then. What a beast that Andy lad is though. He should have put the header away but that performance he gave was the forward's equivalent of all those Gerrard shows. Raised us all by himself. Got to get him into the team and just dangling an intl tourny in front of him helps.
I can't see us winning this. They're much better than us. We have a gaping hole in midfield. We've already beaten them twice so it's their turn. Torres is due his day against us. Drogba is going to go out on a biggie. We are owed the pain of losing a cup final because we avoid it so often. We had our "cannot afford to lose this game" v Everton and the universe will realign to give their supporters somehing to cheer. WE CANNOT WIN!!
Think he's got more technical ability and a better eye for the pass. Obviously Lampard is much much better than him before anyone misinterprets this I actually think Shelvey struggled a bit y'day. not as impressive as his other displays and I'm one who really really likes him
