Disagree, his passing this season has been excellent just today he was a bit off.

I watched Milan vs Empoli (i think) and Pato has an absolute mare, scored the goal but the commentators lambasted him for not passing. Rightly so imo, just tried to dribble past everyone.

Yer, i thought him and Bojan were supposed to be the best youngsters in Spain.

Personally thought that Martins displayed great technical ability today, first touch looked pretty good imo.

i think it's disgusting how the bbc's priorities lie within the title race over good football games, shambolic.

Did he do some flips?

YESSSSSSS

Henry was something else, he was not as skillful as Ronaldo but alot more elegant with the way he moved and picked things out, he never scored a 'scrappy' goal.

I thought Reyes was good for Arsenal (from memory). The only reason they sold him was because he was doing things like refusing to play and not getting stuck in and being an all round twat. Didn't he score quite alot? certainly remember a couple of screamers from him.

Had more than his fair share of injury problems, if my memory serves me correctly.

Nah he only gave it away 2/3 times.

Harsh imo, after a shaky first few minutes looked pretty good in general play yesterday showing some nice skill and neat touches, Fulham had no answer for him.

Harper - 6.5 - Only a couple of saves to make. Beye - 6.5 - Solid, no gallivanting down the flank but still got forward a bit, definitely wasn't MOTM imo. Taylor - 7 - Solid Enough Faye - 7 - Solid Enough Enrique - 7.5 - For me, he is quality. He is so confident in his own ability and that left foot really is something else. Butt - 7 - Passing was once again pretty pap, but was more than capable but left Bullard a bit too much room. Barton - 7.5 - For me he was really good today, good passing didn't lose the ball much and some clever balls into space, much improved. Geremi - 7 - He is so slow but an intelligent footballer. Lovely assist for Owen. Martins - 7 - Grew into the game, link up and general play looked better. Viduka - 7 - Was very inconsistent with some of his hold up play which either ended up with a chance created or him losing the ball. Good finish for the goal. Owen - 8 - MOTM, some of his passing was brilliant, yep missed a sitter and a couple more but good finish and an impressive show. As a word on Bullard, looks a good player however he wasn't very progressive imo with most of his passes going to the side and not really creating much.

is this a whoosh ? No, as we aren't giving Martins any balls over the top to run onto just little dinks between defenders and he isn't clever enough to do read these. If he isn't going to make his own runs with his lack of brain make him run instead get it up there as quick as, he has enough pace.

Balls over the top are what we should be giving Martins, even if the defender looks like he is there first, Martins can still get past him and create a decent shot a la Riise and Liverpool yesterday.

Well there was one person back? Whoever made that decision it wasn't a good one.

It was a very naive decision to leave just one player back in the 89th minute, a point is better than no points and we are not in a position to be so risky.

Today imo was our big day, most important game. IMO we should have won, they were crap but when the shits against you, sucker punch goals like that do happen. It was naive to leave just one player back in the 90th minute, 1 point is better than none.

Well we are lucky tbh, as 5 of the teams we have left to play, are below us. We should win those games at least which will stand us in good stead for survival.

He has, looks a pretty decent player.

http://www.4thegame.com/media/gallery/3379.jpg Sorry, but that's an awful tackle. He should be suspended until Eduardo returns to fitness. Going by that picture, yes. It real time it was a fraction of a second late. Thought the straight red was harsh personally. And I've seen much worse tackles (intent-wise rather than result-wise) go unpunished . Doesn't matter how late it is, doesn't affect him showing his studs half way up a players shin.

You can forgive anyones opinion to be swayed in any direction this season. Its been a total fuking mess. The club is something out of Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, bits and pieces of three people, ideas of another, can you blame the fans for being confused? I can't, its not their fault no matter what the London media would like you to believe. Everyone is pulling in different directions, have different ideas because there is nothing there at the top, no order, no regime, no clear cut future and direction. I agree this has been the worst season i can remember, but it's not an excuse to start once again going after managers, saying their shit etc when they've had the most minimal amount of time to pull things round.

Pathetic half the people on here were calling for SA to be sacked and from my memory 90% were happy with Keegan, this is why we are the laughing stock of English football ffs.

Abit like cisse's and i thought that looked bad, but this is much worse.
