AJ The Red

masch has been poor so far too

another poor display so far

what doesnt make sense is rise at rw when babel is fresh on the bench

we havent lost yet ffs

this looks like 1-3 before 2-2

shocking

just watching the replay now ffs what are finnan and carra doin , thought you only ball watched in sunday league

Im sure we play zonal marking rather than man marking , people just arnt aware ffs 2 defenders both watching him rather than marking him he we never had scored grrrrrrrrrrrr

Our pressing game at the moment is hopeless.Players would rather drop 20m back than press the player on the ball.Watch any of our midfielders last night and they all go to a player with the ball who will square it then they will follow the ball to the next man, rather than stay with their man who is then free to recive the ball again. I watched some of the game again this am and it happens time and time again.Its schoolboy stuff

Bizarre ?

There is something wrong at the club at the moment.Its more than rotation its the the application and cohesion thats wrong. There is no teamwork and no graft in the team.This is the forth dire performance in a row , we may have lost one game but its a lot worse than it looks. I still back Rafa 100% but he needs to take a look in the mirror sometimes and sort this s*** out.Our defending as a team is awful we are chasing the ball instead of sticking with our men , surly Rafa can see it.

dont worry we wont make the uefa as things stand

Not trying to single out SG its just that its infesting the whole team, the sloppyness is shocking. If you play, you know if you let your man go and he scores you have to take some blame.SG jumped in missed the tackle and watched him score its f***in annoying. Rafa rotate all 11 next game ffs

Our defending is shocking SG didnt stay with his man ffs , its not rocket science.If he stayed with his man no way would he have scored I hope this is the kick up the a*** we need

been coming as i said our defending is shocking as a unit w***ers

This is going to sound rediculous but last 4 games have been s***e but we havent lost, prehaps we need to lose one because we need a serious kick up the a***.

when you defend you should stay with your man. why do all our players run to a player who lays it off the run to someone else?if you stick with your man he cant be avail for the return pass , if f***ing amateurish

this is the forth game in a row we have been absolutely gash wtf is going on

How about i add a great old video, most have prob seen it buts its well worth seeing.The kop in 1964 unbelievable http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=oHdSaPt8RyA

Only just finished watching the game had to sky + it. Dont know if there are any other comments in this thread as its too long to read it all. Its about the Ref , he was absolutely shocking wtf is he doing reffing at this level.He made so many wrong decisions it wasnt even funny.Bet he gets demoted to the champs for a while.

like Vlaar he looks a descent cb in the making

I would let crouch go for good offer personaly.One thing that i dont like is that we seem to be too willing to hump balls up to crouch when he is on especially when rise and hyypia are playing. im sure Rafa will do the right thing

On the protugese forum they say that simao is the best player in the league not quaresma,i hope we can still get him along with mancini Alves is not good enough to be a winger , his strength is joining in the attack from deep.Finnan is a better defender but alves is better going forward

Anyone watch Bolivia last night? Hope Rafa was their rw who was 18 looked very good indeed. Granted i only saw about an hour but he was impressive.Anyone know more about him , i cant even remember his name

I would still like a better rm a proper winger , pennant is ok but not great. We still need an aimar type too and a left back so hopefully the shopping is only just starting
