Take off nicky butt, and we wont be so easy to break down. He doesnt track home, and doesnt track the players. Benayoun was his man to take by the first goal, but he just let him run into the box.  His position play is the worst i seen in a long time, poor guthrie that gets raped by 2-3 players each time.

 

 

take of nicky butt and we'll fall apart even more imo. say what you like about him on the ball, he's shite, but off the ball he still does quite a lot to break down a team, more than geremi would do anyway. he's broken down a couple of liverpool move's this half. he's still been absolutely shocking like, but imo geremi in cm would be even more shocking against this onslaught.

Teams have sussed Jonas out now, they put two or more men around him every time he has the ball. Every team since Man Utd have done it.

 

How's that sussing him out?  What player wouldn't become ineffective with 2 or 3 men around him every time he gets the ball?  More like they've sussed us out, in that they can afford to put 2 or 3 players around just one of our players because they know the rest of them aren't worth marking.

I feel that all that has achieved is to wake them up again

 

Yeah terrible eh, we should have made sure it ended 2:0...

 

Should be f***ing 2:2, more bollocks from referee's/linemen!  And before people say they should be well up, they missed those chances or we stopped them either way, quite different from the linesman stepping in and taking away a goal.

 

For christ sake, do you think they keeper would have just stood on his line and the defender near Owen stop and keep his hand up and let Owen run free if they hadnt realised that the flag was up?

 

 

 

There defender was standing with his hand up before the lineman even raised his flag, Owen was in front of him and Duff was in a position to simply slide it accross.  It was a easy chance for us if the linesman had made the right decision.

 

Owen hesitated, and im sure if they liverpool defender hadnt realised that the flag was up, he would have been up Owens arse like a shot, and Reina wouldn't have stood rooted in the middle.

 

Don't clutch at straws man, it's sad.

I made the same qualification just up the page.

Jonas is picking the ball up too deep. Not sure how to solve that, either make him play right next to the lb, leaving him with little room to run if he gets the ball, or our whole team has to push up so he still has space but is much closer to their goal/byline. But if we do that, Butt and Guthrie will be run ragged by their midfielders breaking from their own half. Butt's already struggling to track back and that's his main fucking job, the useless cunt. We need to lob balls over their defence and let Duff/Charlie/Jonas run onto the ball, otherwise the center of the pitch is too crowded and when we lose the ball, they break too fast for our cms. It might not be pretty, but Allardyce long-ball tactics is our best bet, just launch it into space, not for Owen or Duff to head.

 

Saying all that, I hope we fight. I hope we battle. Win, lose or draw, we're playing the league leaders on our home turf. Let's show some fight.
