Which player shall we victimise this time.

[Spion kop]

Before the match ends i want your nominations for the player we all want out and doesn't deserve a new contract. And we can spends the hours away attacking because we have nothing else to do.

 

I nominate cisse.

[Andyjandy]

Warnock.

[Athelstan]

Sadly it will be Warnock

[Falconhoof]

Rick Parry

[Guest Banjo]

1. Cisse, for not doing much today.

2. Warnock, for being on the pitch.

3. Rick Parry for not coming up with any transfer cash

4. Reina for having a shocker

5. Benetiz, for not making sure the team won.

6. Gerrard, for playing in the wrong position

7. Carragher and Hyypia for looking a bit tired

8. Crouch for being too tall

9. Alonso, Garcia, Morientes for being foreign and not having any heart.

Robbie Fowler

[Crazy Horse]

I blame Alan Wiley. If he'd given the pen to Kewell at the start we'd have won this.

[billybunter]

i blame the chelsea players for being odious c***s and for being employed by satan himself.

 

evil f*****s, all of them

[David Hodgson]

Crouch.....Why has he become a sacred cow above criticism ?

 

A very ordinary player.

Something we've known for a long time but scared to say it. We've got behind him because all the other fans were against him.

[chrisbonnie]

f*** it, all our strikers

 

their a cross between the powderpuff girls, or the wolf from the fairy tale 3 piggies, we`ll huff and puff, but we wont blow your house down

Is unfortunately correct.

 

Maybe, after a couple of years of us aiming everything at his head, he'll have learned to use it.

Correct Kev.

 

I really want him to do well and he's such a decent bloke, but I can't kid myself any longer that I think he's a good striker.

[So Cal Red]

Warnock. poor positioning sense (so what else is new?)

[Guest Sabre]

In all seriousness, the biggest disappointment for me today was Gerrard.

 

Once again, a big match needed our captain to take responsibility for the team and throw us forwards. Yeah, Warnock made a mistake for the 2nd goal. The first could easily have been avoided too, but Gerrard was anonymous today. Even with 15 minutes to go, Gerrard was strolling around the pitch. He should have been demanding the ball and getting us back into the game. So disappointed with him.

Totally agree, He never looked arsed

[Crazy Horse]

I can remember plenty of runs, shots crosses and tackles from Gerrard today. Anonymous? Hardly.

He's being overplayed, because we simply don'y have the quality to come in if we lose him or Alonso. Our squad is not strong enough.

 

People were mainly pleased with our work in the transfer window, but we did nothing to really strengthen our first choice options.

[Guest sonofshankly]

FFS Mods, close this thread.

[RedHarvest]

No way was he not arsed - we've played twice as many games as most of our opposition this season. Tiredness is being mistaken for lack of effort/application.

[Nebraska Red]

The officials were garbage. Every Chav foul or bad challenge is hardly called yet everything we did got penalised. These refs are clueless when it comes to seeing the awful challenges made by Chelsea players.

 

Our whole team was woeful today. From keeper to forwards we failed to give it our best in a agme we could not afford to lose and really had to win after the other results this weekend.

 

5 games coming up that will make or break our season. In reality, we can not afford to lose any of them.

What did he well today? He got past Essien once and put in a great left foot cross.

 

I didn't see many good crosses, I didn't see any great tackles.

 

What I saw was a player that was frustrated and instead of doing his damned best to help the team, let his head drop.

 

The player that was running until the end was Alonso.

I don't agree that he didn't care. I was disappointed that it wasn't him that was talking to the officials after Reina's sending off - Sami was the one doing that. I didn't see him geeing up the players and encouraging them. I could care less if we lost to Chelsea but our captain should never let his head drop.

I agree that we don't have a player to come in for Stevie, although I think Sissoko can play more advanced than he is

What did he well today?

 

Very nearly equalise

 

He was isolated a lot second-half when I though Rafa should've moved him in field so he could have more impact on the game. His corners nearly led to a goal aswell. Wrong scapegoat there I'm afraid.

 

Still think he should've played as a supporting striker to Crouch, with Kewell and Garcia on the flanks. We were toothless upfront again....

Don't agree he let his head drop at all. He was given a job to do and he stuck to it and worked his a*** off. Unfortunately, this meant he was sometimes isolated on the right.

 

 

 

Bottom line, we need more options for right midfield, so we can free Stevie up for the middle.

 

 

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, we need a LB, a RM and 2 goal scoring forwards. The way Robbie has been working so hard on his fitness, maybe he can be one of the forwards for a few years. All the other top teams have spent big on their forwards; we haven't (not succesfully anyways, we forked out for one but he spends more time on his hair than his football, apparently). If only Rafa had the money we spent on Diouf, Cisse et al.

 

We played great football today. But, if we can't score we don't deserve the points.
