We simply can't pass the ball anymore.

Carra and Skrtel simply hoof it back to the opposition when they do get. Lucas and Mascherano aren't good passers themselves. There's simply no one in there anymore to get the ball through the midfield and to Torres+Gerrard. If we drop Gerrard back into midfield, we'll lose something upfront. We're pretty much fcuked right now.

Carras hoofing has reached an all time low its just severely depressing.

It's very worrying. Without Alonso, it seems like he's got even less confidence playing a short ball to Lucas or Mascher. He makes a great interception and then hoofs the ball to the opposition, and alas we're back on the defensive hoping Carra makes another interception. *shakes head*

second that.

Boy oh boy do we miss alonso *cries*

Villa have flooded the midfield and we're having the ball intercepted time and again. We need to get at them down the flanks.

I think Riera on is a good shout.
[/quote]

Thing is we knew this before a ball was kicked. We should have been able to cope with this 5 man midfield and use the pace of Johnson - Insua is having a stinker though.

BTW did the Davies goal come off his shoulder ? Not a clear stream.

Zonal marking blah blah fucking blah.

I hate fucking pundits & commentators. I really fucking do. They talk utter utter shite.
[/quote]

It's great when it works Jon but there are clearly issues with us getting up to speed with it, especially at this stage of the season. Torres and Carra both got caught under the ball, one of them should have been infront of the player, they were both marking the space behind him.

Move Yossi to play off Torres, Gerrard back in midfield and bring Riera on for Lucas. It has to be done at half time and not with 15 to go.
[/quote]

Exactly my thinking. Hopefully conceding that stupid 2nd goal will force Rafa do take radical measures.

sorry but this formation isnt working without Xabi.

We need to play to our strengths.....

442

Torres Babel

Riera Masher Gerrard Kuyt

We wont win shit with this 4231 formation now
[/quote]

Having Babel in the team isn't playing to our strengths. And Kuyt isn't winger who could play in a 442
[/quote]

Sorry but i cant stand this fucking benayoun love in......

He loses the fucking ball all the time, either trying to run through brick walls or getting smashed out of the game cos he is lightweight.

Babel has deserved a chance for 2 years up front and he is a better goal threat than most

That's individual error. That happens in man to man too. Not the system at fault.

Nope.

It can be really frustrating, his pathological aversion to making a sub before the hour mark

Second half can't be any worse! Rafa needs to pass the smelling salts to the front four.

How many times? Against any half decent team we'll get dominated in midfield in we have Lucas playing there. Simple as.

I'm not 'anti' Lucas, but he's just not good enough.
 
what the point of johnsen getting forward and putting in good crosses when their's no one there to meet them?
