Oakie Doke Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I think we played very well tbh but i'm glad fat face Rafa picked Babel ahead of Benayoun. Benayoun is much better, an underrated player imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Everton's problem was Fabregas was given the run of the pitch! He didn't have anybody to keep an eye on him, i wish Willy bloody Gallas didn't get his head on that freekick mind, would have been straight in from Fabs making it 3 goals 2 assists! Gallas definitely made it goal-bound, it was going wide of the far post from most angles that I saw until he got his head to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aphrodite Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I hate it when pundits use 'seen them given' as a response to a penalty claim. Just make them look like that they really don't have a clue and don't want to commit either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I just laughed. Would be nice to see him fail to notch for Man U, never come close to an England recall and for his career to slowly pitter towards retirement. Cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Nice to see Villa brushed aside at home. I wouldn't be surprised to see O'Neill end his spell there this season. Neither would I. The animosity towards him yesterday was really surprising. He's lost the spine of the team (not his fault) but failed to even begin replacing it (entirely his fault). Yesterday was a performance straight out of the O'Leary era. Absolutely and utterly lacking in art, in skill and in cohesion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday was a performance straight out of the O'Leary era. Absolutely and utterly lacking in art, in skill and in cohesion. Seems ridiculous to me. You've had two very solid seasons under O'Neill. The progression has always been constant since he arrived, I'm struggling to see how he can be replaced. you've had a poor result on the opening day of the season and clearly expectations are high but I honestly don't think O'Neill leaving is the solution. In terms of activity in the transfer market, I don't really know what's happening (Or what isn't happening) But O'Neill seems like the type of manager who'll sign players who are 'right' for the club, Ashley Young,James Milner,Emile Heskey and John Carew all seem pretty assured business and he's probably a safe guy, he doesn't want to buy players who aren't going to improve the team and will wait till the death until a player does become available, whether that will be too late, I'm not too sure.

THe football last season was pretty awful. Well, the football at home was very awful, horrible to watch. He's screwed up every transfer market since he has been here, and now we're starting to pay the cumulative price. yesterday we were looking for a break from the last part of last season, but what we got was actually much worse. Even the basics, we are lacking in. He will be gone by Christmas, I genuinely believe that (and have stated that here before). We're very well run at board level, but shipshod at manager level. No excuse for it. If you'd seen us yesterday, you would understand it. It isn't just about one game, it is about the cumulative effect of the last 7 or 8 months.

LiquidAK Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Is it me or will Bojan just fade away and get sold to some mid-spanish team? He looks weak as hell every time i see him play. Is this what we have to look forward to now, you picking holes in Barca every post now they've bought your favourite player? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacking O'Neil now could come back to haunt you in five years time like sacking Sir Bobby did us. O'Neil isn't perfect, but you don't go sacking a manager unless you have reasonable expectations of appointing someone who can do better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our "natural" position is somewhere around 6th. He's got us back to that. He has spent a vast amount of money, but still we have enormous holes in our squad. The main problem is that he can not come to terms with the modern transfer market. He's got a billionaire owner who is willing to write pretty much any cheque he asks him to, yet we've not replaced (or tried to replace) Laursen or Barry. We've got two CBs at the club. We did have three, but we sold him to Bolton a month ago without having a replacement. If you'd watched us play yesterday, you'd understand the general feeling here that the chickens really have come home to roost, and it isn't just about being fickle and complaining about one result, it runs much, much deeper than that.
