lovejoy Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Canny game that, I enjoyed it. Milner's cross was top drawer, I'm a big fan. Always leaves his man for dead and sometimes his final ball isn't the best, unlike tonight. So ****? Rather that than Duff who can't beat his man in a month of Sundays and doesn't even bother trying to cross it. Luque veered from the sublime to the ridiculous. He's got a hell of a cross on him too, but at times his decision making is atrocious. Reminds me of Robert in so many ways, the way he plays is practically a carbon copy (apart from the fact we've not seen him confident and in a good side as we did Robert). I'd be tempted to pick him at left wing on Sunday because I hate to say it as a huge fan of his, but Charlie is having a nightmare. Solano added to the list of people better at RB than Steven Carr. By my reckoning, the only people we're unsure about are the groundstaff and the tea lady. Sure the waster will get his place back on Sunday anyway though. word for word Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Just one thought for me. Why is Martins starting position on the left, this only limits his effectiveness. He wants to be running onto things from the right, that way he won't have to change feet and cut away from goal to have a shot and more chance to shield the ball. Christ someone needs to show him how to hold on it. When is GR getting his coaching badge? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I think I saw some of worst defending ever tonight by Celta btw. in the second half when Milner broke in at the corner of the penalty box and two or three Celta players slid in to take the ball. Resulted in a corner. Milner didn't do anything, still he got free of the three of them, looked ridiculus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes1986 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 For the person who mentioned N'Zogbia having a nightmare, surely it would be better to stick with him rather than chuck him back on the bench. Its getting dropped for Duff what has fucked his confidence. Its not gonna do a lot for him if he is on the bench on Sunday with Duff injured. Put him on the left, stick with him, and he will come good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luque did good i thought. 3 crosses (1 of them the corner) that, had a 30 year old shearer been in the box instead of a 33 year old sibi would have found the back of the net. ok on the ball as well but was really shy of confidence, didn't know where to pass the ball. if the effort was just to gain jan bidders then fair enough, if not i'd consider another start vs pompey. Great corner. I thought it was mad letting him take them, as if your low on confidence one of the first things to go imo is set pieces. i was stunned by the delivery. Sibi was overall average i thought. good movement for the goal and some hold up play but still not enough for a new contract imo. wait and see if he builds though. Milner again class, Zog not so much but he's getting there. going through a purple patch atm. Solano must start at RB next game, as Milner must start as RW next game. Emre was ok, butt less so. ramage poor but then he's not a right back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need one more point to finish top. Ridiculous, why don't they have the same rules for UEFA and CL? Because in the Champions League they play each other home & away so it's fairer if it comes to away goals, whereas say for example we finish level with Eintracht Frankfurt, we finish lower despite a better goal difference just because they beat us 1-0 on their ground.

Palermo, Celta and Frankfurt are all unable to finish top. Fenerbahce have to win BOTH their games. We HAVE to lose in Frankfurt. Anything else, we finish top. First place is all but in the bag.
