The other games today - 2009/10

[Dokko]

Milner and Gerrard have switched. Milner now on the left.

 

Baines might start to play ok and get forward like he does for us now then.

 

Gerrard offered him absolutely no cover all game and left him between marking 2 men multiple times. If he doesn't want to play on the left he should tell Capello that and accept a place on the bench if he can't get picked in the centre.

 

I like it how you blame the Liverpool player for your player being absolutely out of his depth. No biased whatsoever. 

 

 

 

So do you honestly think Gerrard gave him any sort of cover or options for an outlet ball in that first half? 

 

Baines has had a shit game but it's hardly surprising in those circumstances. Fact is, we had a one man left side with Gerrard wandering into the centre constantly and not tracking back. Since moving into the middle he seems to have switched his attentions to perfecting the bellyflop. Cunt.

 

I think there's as much truth in that as Baines has had a shocker through his own accord.

fucking hell talk about bias It was a foul ffs, take off the rose coloured specs.

[TaylorJ_01]

Gerrard could do anything and you guys would fucking moan. He's an England player and he's quality.

 

He is a prick though, but I couldn't care less what he does in his spare time.

 

Great play there.

 

 

And why do people think it was a dive? If you get contact there you are fully entitled to go down.

 

In ballet, yes. Not in football imo. Sad to see sometimes where football has gone.

 

 

I agree

 

Why should he try and stay up when the foul has severly decreased the chances of getting it in the back of the net?

[Dokko]

Just to unite everyone under an England theme:

 

 

Michael Owen is watching this at home.

I'm not saying anything about Gerrard here. He wants the best for the team and for him and that free kick certainly was a great opportunity.

 

But I said it's sad to see where football has gone, in generall. Not only in that case. (Almost) everybody does that, not only Gerrard.

that is crap, he was barely touched! if their was a foul for every touch to another player, their would be 200 fouls a match

Watching it with his horses, I suppose.

Fake Lennon off for the real deal.

[leffe186]

Think Walcott's done pretty well really. Johnson's been OK going forward and ropey defensively, Baines the other way round. Milner is OK if he's not asked to do anything complicated (like play CM internationally). The CBs have done better as the game's gone on. Gerrard's touch and passing have been woeful, for the most part, and Carrick's not done himself any favours.

 

If he works out a good midfield then we'll be OK.

 

Ref, that's rubbish.

[colinmk]

Dunno wtf is going on in the argie game but half time has been like half an hour.

South Americans aren't renowned for their punctuality.

[leffe186]

Penalty, frankly.

[Liam Liam Liam O]

None of the fringe players have really done themselves any favours tonight.

 

Certainly King & Baines look well off the pace.

Hehe, aye maybe the ref, he's looking pretty buzzing. Di Maria looks very good. Guy called Pastore looks excellent too.

[leffe186]

I think Defoe's done well, better than I expected at the link-up play.

[colinmk]

Really can't be fucked with ITV commentators and pundits, arseholes the lot of them.

[Dokko]

Would have had Johnson take that.

 

At least Gerrard gave it up.

 

 

[TaylorJ_01]

Holy fuck how fast was Lennon there?!?

[leffe186]

Thank fuck Rooney is so, so good.

 

Would love to see Lennon generate some opposition red cards at the World Cup. He has had a long rest, and some full backs will visibly shit themselves.

[GG]

Love Adam Johnson.

[Dokko]

I reckon if Parker mades the final squad he should have to have his head bic'd.

 

 

[TaylorJ_01]

Thank f*** Rooney is so, so good.

Indeed. Frightening ability with the ball when he gets going.

[colinmk]

This Pastore guy looks excellent.
