Hyypia Lucas Gerrard

Lost the plot at the end.

We will not win the league this year. Not with this kind of football. And we have been playing poorly several matches now.

No football intellegince at all today. f***ing pissed off with Finnan as well. 1-0 down and a goal kick for Besiktas and Finnan doesn't throw the ball to their keeper and they can time waste.

The magic is over between Rafa and the players? I think it's looking like it. No get out of jail cards today for Rafa like last saturday.

Our left side is so weak. No physical presence in our attack. Passing is below standard. Defence is insecure. We need Gerrard on the right and Xabi in the middle. Pennant to go right and Babel for Voronin.

He's good. Plays for the Brazilian national team. But a prick as well! Didn't show up after an international because he wanted to leave the club.

Only Gerrard, Aurelio and Torres were the only players in the first half whose technique at the ball was not worse then Zendens technique!

Why oh why can the players who earn millions are year obly put some pressure on a team when the stoppage time starts and go missing the rest of the match! Truly disgraceful!

He was not the only one!

A player is not allowed to move twice in one season if I'm right.

Torres is the real deal. Quite simply as that!

Good post.

A slight tear in his muscle, which can happen all the time. Should be fit in a couple of days.

Heard it as well!

Kuyt works very hard and chases everything dropping deep several times asking for the ball. When we are counter attacking he usually will be too late in the box.

Dunne as well.

IMO he lacked the determination to prove Rafa he must be in the starting eleven.

Vitesse indeed can remove their pitch outside the stadium. I hope the designers have learnt from what other designers have done wrong. for example the Amsterdam Arena. However we do have that lighting system which rolls over the pitch to give the grass the necessary light. I think the stadium looks stunning!

I agree with this. Rafa likes us to control the game and score the first goal. After that he wants to use the space being given away by the home team. But it doesn't always work like that. What if the home team scores first? If we have the same attitude and match tactics as we have at Anfield we will be winning more games. Time will tell what this season will happen! Only Rafa knows what tactics he wants to exploit this season!

First of all I think Kewell is a much better player, but Babel has time on his side. Secondly I prefer a winger who keeps playing wide and provide their crosses from there or takes his opponents on. Babel does it, but he needs to learn to do it faster instead of trying to beat them time and time again. He's easier to defend because he will go to his right foot almost every time.

I'm not happy with Babel signing tbh. He has played on the leftside, but he keeps cutting inside to his preferred right foot. Maybe Rafa wants to use him on the right. I'd rather see Kewell on the left.

Schweinsteiger is class and I would be absolutely delighted if he signed for us. Doubt it will happen though.

He's rightfooted and keeps cutting inside which was the same with Gonzalez. Babel doesn't do anything with his left foot.

He's signing 2morrow.... Don't let him talk to Stevie tonight!!
