Napoli away

Few decent balls into the box from Shelvey and Babel.

Oooh Konchesky knocks the ball off the line?
yup he did
 
Wasn't over the line, good clearance by Konchesky, and he's got better as the half has gone on. Shelvey looking REALLY good, some great delivery into the box when he gets the opportunity.
 
All I want from Babel is to stay on the right, knock the ball ahead of his opponent and get the ball into the box.

He is capable of this.

The whole thing is very frustrating.
 
Babel on the right is 10 times the player he otherwise is.

Honestly, this is the best i have seen us play this season, which isn't really saying much.

Jonjo Shelvey can play.
 
Why isn't Shelvey starting in the league again? He looks ready. Now.

We haven't been very good, but then they've been a lot poorer than I expected them to be, so it's evened out. I enjoy watching Lavezzi's "what's going on, normally I'm brilliant" looks every time he messes something up. And yes, I do know he's going to score now that I've said that.

Shelvey is the only real positive so far.

Apart from the fact that we're not losing?

Have they all forgotten that you generally try to make space for one another when playing football?

What do you expect when you're playing two DMs, a CM at AM and two strikers as wingers. Roy is fucking clueless.
[/quote]

Yeah, wow, that's totally new approach.
[/quote]

Okay, to clarify - two useless DMs, a CM who'd much rather play deeper at AM and two strikers totally unsuited to play on the wings as wingers.

Haha me too...

This is the first time we have looked comfortable in the first half in ages.

If Shelvey keeps this up, he should keep his place in the side for the Blackburn game
[/quote]

Perhaps, but we all know there is as much chance of that as Roy winning us the league.

The million dollar question is will we continue our trend of greatly improving in the second half.

Shelvey is ready now I think most of us know that. I hope Gerrard, Raul and him would grow an amazing understanding if given time.

Babel could actually fulfill some of his potential on the right. We've known this for a long time but our managers haven't seen it.

Hope Shelvey gets the 90.

ITK: Paddy's bullshitting again

I don't want you intimidating our ITK posters like that, if we go down that road we'll be deprived of all the valuable information. I've reported you to a mod.

I just made myself some lunch, should I subject myself to the second half?
[/quote]

That depends, are you trying to lose weight?
 
It's quite sad that my first though when the Greek was bought on was that we have a chance of scoring now.

Shelvey set piece, Greek finish.

It's on...
