Did any of our lot perform today?
(sorry to ask, but no ratings thread)

I though a few of them had decent games to be fair, but it does not matter how shit we were , N'gog spurned two gilt edged chances, that any half-decent striker would have scored from.
Reliance on shite back up strikers, is what is going to absolutely fuck us this season

Cheers.
Yeah the lack of a striker does seem to be kicking us in the balls quite a bit recently.
At least we seem to have tightened up at the back of late.
Hopefully when Torres comes back, he can stay fit for a while.

This is what irritates me though Rafa, a few weeks ago I was banging on about the fact that the striker situation is going to be what kills us, and a few of the usual suspects were trying to tell me the biggest problem was at the back.
Bollocks it is. If you can't score goals you don't win matches, and that was the case today.
We have seen the quotes this week "Football is a simple game"
When will everyone believe me?

Well i didn't see the game, but from the little i've read it seems that a lack of end product certainly cost us 3 points today.
We just don't seem to be able to put in a solid allround team performance at the moment. Hopefully we'll get Torres and Aquilani into the team soon and the defence can carry on with what they've done lately.
January can't come quick enough as it stands.

Masch will leave becuase he is far more determined than our squad is. He is also never been treated that well by Rafa. Imagine him finally having his own DM role. Barcelona will pay a pretty penny for him if they're smart and be even more unbeatable. He played well in a game he has little to do he was much more direct than all of our back 6 besides GJ naturally.
Gerrard was very good, rusty and completely alone for long parts. our best play were when he and Magic where in coordination.
Yossi is fed up with this shit and was quite poor only one brilliant interplay early on. And no signature mazy run. Remember about a month when Rafa kept on taking Yossi off 5 to 25 minutes before the end of the game despite him have a goal or an assist or being the only creative force.
N'gog is a very good young backup striker who has the tools to be very good if stays hungry and constantly learns. He needs a little more confidence in his dribbling and hopefully he'll develop the ability to beat people. He's usually a good and smart finisher and he is currently a very good 3rd or 4th striker for us. (When Torres is injured, we should play 2 strikers).
Glen Johnson makes me think about going to a 3-5-2 he is so good. I'm wondering if he shouldn't just be a winger. We need to invest in a very defensively strong LB with height and good positioning (pace is 4th priority).
Carra was very good but Kelly should be starting every game in the reserves at RCB training to be Carra replacement.
Reina is a the shit, and a fantastic athlete
The way forward seems hard to garner from this squad though; unless its our youth with another manager
Very effective scouting is needed

Ass> how has Masher been treated badly by Benitez?
And both Casper and Eggnog were fucking dire today
You have made one shit post too many today
*refers back to that car-crash post about 'white' or 'spanish'*

Tard > i said he has never been treated that well...
you turn that to say treated badly.
What I mean is that because Rafa doesn't do the personal niceties, most of his relationship with players is based on training and playing time and winning. I can remember at least 3 important games where Rafa has undermined Masch's importance to us by taking him off while we were leading (instead of Lucas(who he has to play with all the time and he never looks happy about it)) And then he had to watch us give up the lead or lose.
Or taking him off in the CL Final while he's keeping Kaka quiet.
After Internationals no matter the importance Masch doesnt play but Lucas does. And yeah there can be good reasons for that but still imo Masch isn't one of Rafa's favorites.
I said Yossi was poor, and I disagree that N'gog was poor, he didn't take his one difficult chance and was screened by a teammate on another semi- chance but other wise he still was the impetus for our improvement. Rememberr Riera on = shit, N'gog = some one to make those runs. He's young and was relied on to make all the difference all by himself (and he has 3 or 4 times for us this season). The next change after him was El Zhar.
Did you notice today that Kuyt couldn't judge a balls path for shit, wow something a footballer and natural athlete should be able to do, no?
I think you've made 17 thousand too many pointed attacks at people that are only effective thanks to the level of your vocabulary especially in the derogatory genre. You might one also rethink your completely repetitive posting style. I could code a progam with as much originality as you.
Options = {
yada yada Lucas is shit yada yada I/me.,
yada Casper, I was always, im brilliant, it gets yada annoying to always be right,
yada <Insert youngster name here> is shit, and I am the first to yada know, and i am the yada best (realize your just betting the odds, no?),
yada it, I'm leaving (we wish)
}
replace every yada with an element of the set of complicated derogatory adjectives
and sorry sometimes my posts show a different range of thoughts and emotions. wow that one had exaggeration as an obviously failed attempt at humor (your percentage of these is much higher than you think). Next time I might be serious (this time im in a revengeful mood))
hit me i hit back

Brendan you too.
Maybe Masher is not one of Rafa's favourites because he isn't 'white' or 'spanish', maybe?
Wait, he is white. And does speak Spanish. And is one of his favourites
I'm confused.
I'd leave the site if I had ever posted anything that fucking retarded, by the way, ass

Shit match today.
The body language from our players throughout the match was clear, we are one pissed off team right now.
We created very little against a poor team.
I miss Torres.

You know you have, and too bad it doesnt bother me that people over the internet that don't know my sense of humor at all didn't think my exaggeration of joke that stems from us have very few non white and spanish speaking players in our first team

If Mascher leaves Rafa can only blame himself.... again.
