Insua is having a mare. When we get the ball they are so well organised its hard to find a way through
[/quote]

theres' very little movement for Aurelio / Lucas / Insua to find anyone up front / wings.

Big second half required.

Assuming we actually stop leaking goals.

agreed
 
Haven't seen any of it, but surely you'd have to blame Rafa for this one? A Lucas-Aurelio CM was always asking for trouble.

tbf there's not much movement from the front/wings either
[/quote]

Theres fuck all space to move into once we get it really though, they're not pushing that many forward

The opposition is playing very well. It's not exactly all down to us, you know.
[/quote]

Yup.

They're a handy side.
 
You have to give a lot of credit to Fiorentina. They are fast all over the pitch closing down, getting behind the ball, restricting out options, and breaking very fast in numbers, and so far we have just not looked up for the challenge.
 
The midfield pairing of Aurelio and Lucas is fucking woeful. Not one pass have hit it's target. Our defence gets no help from said midfield and is constant under pressure.

First goal was offside, and after that we've been in the shits.

Gerrard needs to move back and get on Riera.
 
And people here want Aurelio to start against Chelsea instead of Insua, fucking idiots.

Aurelio is having an absolute mare. Lucas should also take some blame. But Aurelio's positioning, tackling, tracking back, awareness and especially passing has been abysmal today. He has to be subbed.
I say bring on Riera and move Gerrard back into midfield.

It's a bit reminiscent of Rafa's Valencia.
 
please remind me why we have changed to two defensive midfielders again when we shit goals.

why change it rafa, aurelio is no central midfielder, yossi is no left winger

be brave, stevie in the middle riera on, god i am repeating myself.

utd played scholes next to keane for years, why can't we play gerrard and masher/lucas when masher not fit


i hate this game
 
To be fair, Fiorentina ARE a decent side, but fancying yourself as some sort of managerial god, and chucking a left back in a defensive midfield alongside the "not as terrible as normal so lets try and give him a break" Lucas smacks of HUGE arrogance.

Are you surprised the movement upfront is limited, when Johnson is subdued, Insua is just poor and the midfield partnership havent got a clue.
 
I wouldn't have played a non match fit Aurelio in his chosen position in a game like this never mind in central midfield.
 
ha what a dire performance.

gotta laugh, rafa is a bafoon setting us up like that. fabia and that pile of shit lucas in centre mid. our attacking 4 players may as well not be on the pitch.

all season we've been carrying lucshit but every time we play a decent side the same failings are there for everyone to see.

you're too clever for your own good rafa!

You dont count it as arrogance that the manager thinks he can pick one of his "favourites" in any position he likes away in the CL?!

Yep, was going to say something similar myself.
 
[quote author=Rosco link=topic=36151.msg953794#msg953794 date=1254253071]
LIke lots of people on here, Rafa underestimated Fiorentina.
[/quote]

I highely doubt that, we knew what kind of side they are. I think he overestimated Aurelios abilites in midfield though.
