LIke lots of people on here, Rafa underestimated Fiorentina.

I don't believe that for a minute. He seems to have over-estimated the form of some of his own players.

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.
[/quote]

Not arrogance, stupidity maybe but not arrogance.
[/quote]

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?!
[/quote]

Nope. Like I said - stupidity.

Replays show Jovetic offside for the first ... along with 2 other players.

Thought he might have been, but we can't say it wasn't deserved anyway.

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

Well I'll take you back to comments by Squiggles and Bunnyman in particular. Squiggles said something along the lines of I don't know anything about them but we'll beat them. Bunnyman dismissed them because they were beaten by Lyon.
 
Playing an experimental team in such a crucial game has been a huge mistake. The Aurelio/Lucas CM partnership is woeful. Rafa needs to change it at HT, but will he? Will he fuck.

fuck me. we've been played off the park and he was not offside
 
[quote author=Modokay link=topic=36151.msg953787#msg953787 date=1254252961]
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.

[/quote]

you do realise Insua was at fault for the first goal and has been roundly raped all game. Aurelio is out of his comfortable position
 
the first wasn't offside. they really need to review the offside rule because you have defenders who can see attackers offside out of the corner of their eye so don't push up so far and then the person with the bal plays to the attacker who is onside and the entire back line gets caught out. the offside rule is currently shit.
 
The ONLY decent through balls came from Aurelio - he played in Torres twice and put the ball on Kuyt's head for our only decent chance.

Flossy being absolutely non-existant which is putting Insua being under almost constant pressure, allied to Gerrard being mobbed as soon as he gets the ball and Kuyt being basically out of the game on the right has left us in a bad place.

We ARE missing Mascher big time but calling our best left back in his first 'proper' game of the season played out of position shit is just fucking shite.

if I was rafa I would brng on riera for insua, move aurelio to left back, move gerrard to CM, move yossi behind torres and riera on the left
 
We have struggled to pick up their strikers when they drop deep to collect it. They have played some decent stuff, but been superb when pressing us. Torres and Gerrard have been too isolated, we can't keep the ball for long enough to work it up to them. Aurelio has been caught out positionally, which is no real surprise. I hope we can reconfigure our system tearly or we could get a thrashing here.

Calling a player who is playing shit, "shit" is shite? Thanks for clearing that up.

Heh, well thats their business then. I watch a bit of Italian football, and knew that they are a decent side. We've made them look better though, with this horrendous midfield constalation.

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

They are, but this is similar to several other performances where Gerrard/Torres get isolated and we look lubed up and bent over on the counter attack. Rafa got this one wrong.
 
I think the back 6 are getting more shit than is fair here.
The front 4 have been totally unable to retain the ball at all and are constantly losing it meaning Insua and Johnson are caught out of position again and again and the two holders are being pulled all over the shop.
Gerrard, Kuyt and Yossi have had bags of ball and done nothing but give it back and then show little effort tracking back. I feel a bit sorry for the defensive 6 tonight, theyre being shit on.

I have sympathy for Aurelio too, Fiorentina are playing very well, and he's been put in, out of position, having played very very little this season.

My worries exactly, we're all over the place and if we don't man up more goals will be conceded.
