And stupid. Makes me think of the Houllier quote... whatever it was.

Correct.

It's not Rafa. It's about the team. But I don't know what it is, and I don't bother looking for reasons, 'cause I can't help, and it won't help trying to find a scapegoat. I believe the team is in sh*t form. As simple as that. Someone, or something, will make that change, hopefully sooner rather than later. As you say, Finnan was awful last night. The passing of Mascherano and Kuyt, to name but a few, was bewildering. Our game tempo is, well, static. But things will change. I believe sacking or selling someone won't make things better.

It is not the players.

Ah, a sensible post. Well put.

Or if we had the Chunkster to set things straight. Too many handbags flying about.

Im sure this is a factor in bringing him off.

Suppose he his. He has a point though.

Neither can I. But that could be said about almost all players today.

1. M. Clattenburg 2. Kuyt 3. Gerrard

Praise the Mark!

Bad timing, but I agree.

Surprising, really. Or maybe not.

Or without a liver.

Amen brother!

I've seen a bit of Afonso when he was playing for Malmö. On his day he's quite a player. Nice technique, a sweet right foot and a tidy finisher. "Benitez doubles up on Alves" is what I like to see this January.

Apparently.

Does this apply to Harry as well?

A phenonemal match from him. Showed a lot of character and passion.

All true. Whatever it is, it needs to be sorted. Now. What the f*ck could've happened that affects so many professionals this way?

Could have been someone from this thread/forum, by the looks of it.

Gold digger.

Been called up to the national team. Allegedly.

I like.
