The other games today - 2009/10


Recommended Posts

Hving watched the Blackburn-Bolton game, there is nothing I would fear from either of them if we go up. One thing I found hard to understand, why did Bolton not start Weiss or give Wilshire a run? These are two lads who could have provided that spark of creation they seem to lack.

 

Blackburn looked woeful, even though they scored three but Bolton's defensive shape was shocking. I felt a bit sorry for Zat Knight because he seemed to be doing the job of two defenders.

 

Looking at the likes of Blackburn, Bolton, Wigan, Wolves, Sunderland, Burnley, Hull, any two of these to go down with Portsmouth. I think West Ham will do enough to survive.

Anyone else watching the Valencia - Getafe game? It's 1-0 to Valencia through David Villa, who else, but their left winger Dominguez should have scored a couple already. Got some great speed and hasn't had bad finishes but he's no Villa and therefore still without a goal.

Love watching Valencia, as soon as they're on the ball they look to play a through ball for Villa. It's so easy to read, but must be impossible to play against.

Agreed. They've been quite sloppy though. A lot of easy mistakes made in the build up play but with Silva, Joaquin, Villa and now also Dominguez (atleast in this game) they can afford to since they're bound to score a couple

Valencia really made me sweat there. Some of the refs decisions were appalling.

Valencia is full of small, neat little players. Silva, Villa, Mata, Joaquin etc, really a joy to watch...

 

VI Do you fancy Silva for Barca? If only he could get a right foot though...

We tried to sign him last season already. I'd love to have him there, that'd our left wing sorted although I'm a bit uneasy about his lack of goals (Henry contributed 19 in our treble season from that position), but he is young so his composure can improve.

 

And he fits right in will all the other short players in Barca:)

He really need to improve his right foot though. Or maybe not improve, actually getting one would be a start.

 

Thought Getafe played reasonably well tonight. In the final third they were rather bad but I suppose they missed their goal scorer but I can see Getafe picking up quite a few points in the reminder of the season.

 

For tomorrow though, I see Alves, Xavi and Zlatan are all in the squad but how bad are their injuries? Any chance of them playing tomorrow?

That sounds a bit weird I have to say, and wrong. Only if the game clashes with the CL tie it should be moved, otherwise it's a pathetic move by FA of whatever country saying basically the team doesn't have a chance to win unless they're given the absolute best preparations.
