What's the news with maxi? Injured, or did I miss him leaving?

He offers too much width.

The chants are a disgrace. I'm fucking done with this shit. If it's not the piss weak performance on the pitch against the Johnny-come-lately billionaires, it's the old shites killing off our club, or the fucking arseholes who are representing us as fans, or twats who throw a hissy fit and don't want to play for us. My love for football is seriously dwindling.

Sound. We'll revel in our ethics while we enjoy midtable mediocrity and build our team around The Invisible One.

There's still this romantic notion that we can compete with a bit of will and a bag of peanuts.
[/quote]

We can. It's other football teams we may have a problem with for a while.
 
roy went for solidity and we were all over the place, we really would have been better served picking a moe attacking team and taking the fight to them. the cautious football we have endured for pretty much 10 years is set to continue.

It's a squad full of international that we have. You can hardly say they were bought for peanuts, can you.

There'll be 6 or 7 teams consistently better than us in a few years unless we find significant investment. That's my prediction.

Spider , what game were you watching?

We fielded a 4-4-2. If that was a Benitez team it would have been a 6-4-0

For fuck sake.

2 games into the Premiership?

When a key player refused to play for the club, and he had to change everything?

When we're playing a club who spent £130M in this summer alone?

Grow up

4-4-2, 4-5-1, 4-3-3, whatever, it has less to do formation and more to do with intent. you can put out a defensive 4-4-2 and and attacking 4-5-1 its how the players approach the game.

I thought that was all down to the previous manager's tactics.

not his players then?

United in March '08 ?
[/quote]

Cheers...with the worst result in two and a half years, the only positive that I can see is that the players may take this as a wake up call with it being so early on in the campaign. And at least we've got two difficult fixtures out of the way and can go on a run. But again, we are starring up the table and are more or less six points behind already.

He would have made a substitution on the 64th minute which would have been a lot more useful than the substitutions Roy made.

See the post above yours.

The substitution might have caused us to concede one less goal.

The point is we have a load of players ho are either shit or arent interested.
 
[quote author=dmishra link=topic=41549.msg1159946#msg1159946 date=1282588287]
The fact of having two strikers does not necessarily mean a more attacking approach. We're going to be awful today. Anonymous in the middle with Lucas, agricultural in the wings, putrid up front with N'gog taking away all the space that Torres loves to exploit, and hoofball from the back due to our total lack of guile in midfield.

Gerrard is going to run around and battle and be frustrated with the lack of football in the side. Torres will have one of his sulky days. We'll lose without scoring.

Prove me wrong. Please.
[/quote]

Well done.
 
I know it's early doors but that was very hard to stomach last night.

I hope and pray that we've got at least 2 more players coming in before the transfer window shuts.

Yah, I'm really worried if we don't bring anyone in ...
 
Does no-one else think it was a foul on Agger for the second goal? Richards was all over him and had his hands over his shoulders.

Also, I'm not sure why we left their striker and best player completely unmarked in the box
