Kuyt and Bellamy...spot the difference...

[Chewie]

when Bellamy came on last night I thought - great, now that they're tired he can just run and run at them, closing the defenders down and giving us an outlet up front...I used to think the same way about Ciise....

 

but about 5 mins after he came on I realised I hadn't even noticed him...then a move broke in the middle of their half and he looked wistfully at the sky and smacked his hands in frustration as he watched Chelsea come out with the ball...Kuyt on the other hand ran like a demon to try and close them down (this was in the 2nd period of extra time!!!)

 

now Kuyt has limitations (big ones) and I deffo think that Rafa will be strengthening here...but that show from Bellamy means he's out - in the two biggest matches of our season he looked disinterested - can't carry a moody little sod like that...

WTF Bellamy closed down 3 players for about 80 meters without stopping and ended up fouling Feirrera. Remember? That's closing down and giving away a free kick in a good place as well (in their half).

 

The only difference was Kuyt has a neck and golden locks - Bellamy doesn't.

Well if I missed that one sorry - I was just so angry at him for giving up and then seeing Kuyt continue to work his cotton socks off....

aye....but neither are great oil paintings are they....

pointless thread. No need for that. Bellamy had a thankless job to do in extra time and he did it. no more or less.

Ironic YNWA...get a grip...you telling me that Rafa will keep all these players just because we never walk alone....

 

last week Rafa admitted to being raging at our players for their performance against Chelsea and that some of them were playing for their futures...given that he took Bellamy off early I figure he was a prime candidate for Rafa's fury...

 

I didn't notice the closing down alluded to by another poster which was a more helpful reply (to which I responded by admitting I hadn't seen that but I was just so angry watching Kuyt put in the sort of shift I thought Bellamy was brought on to do...)

 

maybe this is a pointless thread and maybe Bellamy had a thankless task...I can accept that, but over the two games he did nothing for me and I think that Rafa will offload him in the summer...he bought two strikers last summer and I reckon he has spotted the difference
