andy gray sums it up, you have a midfield four that will work hard and graft but what will they give you in from a creative point of view? it wouldn't be so bad if they snuff out brum attacks but they aren't even doing that.

Our central midfield is shit.
 
I would like to see Babel and the new guy on. That was a fucking shit half, but sadly nothing too surprising.

I miss the best midfield in the world.
 
Dire x 3

Reina 10 and the only reason we're even remotely in this game still.

Johnson and Paul are the only two outfield players who Can hold their heads somewhat High.

Poulsen and Lucas is not the answer to anything both been bad. Gerrard and Torres has been extremely mediocre and our wings not visible.

Carra and Skrtel has both looked awful. Startet well actually but then just went from bad to worse.

Skrtel must be the worst header of the ball. Like the anti-Sami in that department.

Jovanovic hasn't done as bad as the others, albeit still not done enough
[/quote]

True but he seems to be the only midfielder moving the ball forward up the pitch.
Hodgson is fucking clueless. We had several other options if he didn't want to start Meireles.
He could have played Gerrard in midfield, and Pacheco behind Torres or why not play Jova behind Torres.

Jovanovic clearly isn't a left winger. He looks to come infield at pretty much any opportunity.

Just thinking the same. However it's all about CM - the defence can't get it out to them since they ar enot making themselves available in the right areas and then there is zero creativity - or thought even - going forward. I'm sorry to say it but when Lucas went down I was hoping he'd get subbed off. Either Miereles comes on for Lucas or Gerrard should move into CM and put Pacheco in at AM.

SHHH, KHL!!! it's all an agenda to get agger in the team!
 
I can put up with your Agger agenda Khl because I recognise his quality. You must admit that Pouslon is fucking shit and his performance is completely indefensible??
 
surely we will be better second half .the ref is shit how did he miss 2 penalties for us a hand ball and the one against torres ?
 
poulson is worse than lucas. having both of them as our central midfield is as poor a combination as can be found in the premiership.

no point shaking your head grandpa we all know what needs to happen.

bring on our summer record signing and drop gerrard into midfield. take off pooson and lucshit.

put pacheco on behind torres and if things don't work out try babel with 15 minutes to go.

come on grandpa at least fucking try to be better than rafa on a bad day.

CM should be Mereiles and Gerrard.

I've never seen this Mereiles but by default he must be better than Lucas and Poulsen.

This, a thousand times this.
 
same old fucking shit, keep it tight for 45 mins giving your yourself massive pressure to do something in the second half. roy's team is all about snuffing out the opposition and little else.
 
Just got a text from my brother, in Dublin...

"Is Poulsen just Lucas with worse hair?"

I replied: "And less ability, yes...".
 
Totally slating Torres and his work rate on SS, but this whole petulant thing with him has been doing my head in since last season, hence my outbursts towards him over the summer.

The four we have across midfield are awful, zero creativity, I've said it before and I'll say it again Maxi and Jovanavic are crap, they're not
match winners and never will be. And I really don't need to say anything more about Lucas. Why hasn't he started with Meireless? Do we look like a side who has the luxury of easing him in, like, really?

Bring on Babel for Maxi too, I'm convinced by his tweets he'll play well

Should we fuck

There was a handball in the box (Torres' attempted bicycle-kick) and the challange from behind on Torres.

haha yeah... Don't care about that no more. Skrtel is doing my head in. Starts very well then suddenly passes it to the nearest opponent 15 min in starting a dangerous brum counter and then just loses the grip from there.

Carra's been wank too mind.
 
[quote author=spider-neil link=topic=41806.msg1172933#msg1172933 date=1284307283]
we haven't had a penalty shout, torres misses the ball completely and the other was blatent ball to hand.
[/quote]

Torres got clattered from behind by Johnson. That was a penalty.
 
See no changes at half time, excellent, glad to see we have a manager who can't shirk the big decisions.
