Not one player playing woth urgency or committment. Its fucking shit.

Don't think that applies to Masher TBF, but I'm struggling to exempt anyone else.

The e-mails from Manc "mates" have already started FFS. >🙁

Lucarse and Insewer are the two worst players on the pitch. They HAVE to be taken off at half-time, they're fucking shite.

Get Magic on, and we have to shift Masher into CM.

Say what you will, but to his credit benitez didn't put aquilani before the teams performance today. He doesn't take any risks. I mean fuck, we could be 7-0 down, at least lucas has kept it to 1-0.

But Lucas has been SOOOOO much better than Aquilani even though we have'nt seen Aquilani play much.

I take it that's a pop at me? Aquilani's been fucking shite. As has Lucas. Aquilani's been worse however.

I pray we win, but we all knew this line up was a bad idea.

 

[Halmeister]

YESSSSS!!! THANK FUCK FOR THAT!!!

We cant pass. Its shameful. Hundreds of millions of pounds spent. Top backroom team. Genius manager. We cant fucking pass the ball. I dont think we made more than three consecutive passes in this half.
We must get better after the break. We must.

Gerrard seems to be slowly turning into Michael Ballack. Where's the drive gone?

Is it age, or can he just not be arsed anymore?
[/quote]

gerrard has been playing as a forward for ages, he's a forward now and that's where he should be played if you want to get the best out of him.

 

[livvy145]

Great half

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Bunny - I think he realizes this season is finished.

If someone offered me a spot in the Europa league next year, I'd take it. I think we'll struggle to hold onto a top 6 spot the way we're playing ... Embarrassing really.

As Andy says, some players' efforts have been simply pathetic.

 

[Peatcheo]

Lucas MOTM.

 

[Jay]

Bollocks.

Fucking Kuyt.

A standard entry in the footballing 'don'ts' section. You prick.

 

[Shadey]

We need the 4-4-2 2nd half..

 

[SaintGeorge67]

And people doubt Masher's commitment.

He's the only one that looks remotely arsed.

Your RAWK fixation is plainly not doing you any good.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Kuyt off, Babel on - put Babel on the left, Yossi in the middle.

As for Lucas and Insua, I say leave 'em on. I may one day be tortured and if I can survive this for another 45 minutes, then nothing will ever break me. Nothing.

If you put every player in a sack and punched it whichever one got hit would deserve it.

Riera should have started, and I look forward to seeing Johnson.

You don't know aquilani is shite. He can still come good. All we know is that lucas most definately is a piece of shit. Let me put it this way. Glass A, Glass B ok. Glass A contains my piss. Glass B contains either my piss or just lemonade I don't know. You have to drink one.

You and benitez inexplicably choose to enjoy my piss. Everyone else with a brain cell would hope for the best with Glass B.

I'd go with that. I think Maxi has looked half decent as well, but too few options in the middle. Best chance came when Benayoun ran through the middle.

I think Maxi has looked lively (without being particularly good, obviously). He's been the only one of our players looking to move the ball quickly and in a forward direction. He's the only one though.

[/quote]

It's not finished yet. It will be if we lose this game. He's our captain and arguably our best player and we need him to do what he's done so many times in the past. I just can't see it happening now though.

Spidey, I kind of agree re the CM/forward role, but that's no excuse really: he's been like this all season, even when playing in his new favourite position.

 

[Halmeister]

I don't think we'll get top 4 this season. If we don't win this I'll know for a fact we won't get it. I fucking hate this season so much. There has been nothing positive. Nothing.

Lolz at LTW.

Insua has been wonderful in this first half, hasn't he Brendan?

What a weak, shithouse of a player.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

I'm sure Aquilani can and should be better than Lucas, yet everytime he's played he's been utter shite. I honestly think Jan Molby could turn up tomorrow and do more.

 

[spider-Neil]

kuyt well and truly back to chasing his own tail, his purple patch was good while it lasted.

I think Brendan would use the prisoners dilemma to figure out the Insua and Lucas lumps, then get to work with a sock full of pennies.
