brummie Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Look how Benteke adds to the team play. I love him. He won't be here long, though. He's potentially - potentially - got everything needed to play at the very highest level. Some of our old weaknesses - mainly defensive - on show again yesterday, but also some of the change of style. 25 passes or so prior to a Reading touch and then our second goal. That, in a nutshell, is the difference between Lambert and McLeish's approach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'd love Benteke here, power, hold up play, technical ability, fantastic player, suspect he'll go somewhere with higher wages on offer mind. Would be good for you if you can keep him mind, but if you go down no way you'll hold on to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't think he's going to go anywhere based on money, he won't need to, he'll have options which make huge sense football-wise, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Millwall, Blackburn or Wigan will be in the Europa League next season. Apparently, if Chelsea come 5th and win the cup it'll go to 6th, not the runners up. That would be a bummer. Where does it say that? Some ranking of importance of qualification credentials, no doubt. I thought they were trying to big up the FA Cup to keep it a credible competition, but they are usually a bit thick, so I wouldn't be surprised. I think it's always been the case, just one of the finalists have always either been in the Champions League or both teams not involved in Europe, e.g. Pompey vs Cardiff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least it's encouraging, after going so long without doing it we seem to be going mental now. Must say it got to the point where i thought "fuck it were behind, no way back now".

leffe186 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Spurs let Liverpool win that one. Absolutely. We got the tactics spot on, then a couple of silly mistakes just gave it away. I mean, I fully expected us to lose beforehand, but I don't know if I'm more annoyed having put ourselves in a position to win it and lost, than if we'd actually been shite. Most importantly, we won the passing. Everything else pales into insignificance. Joking aside, if AVB can achieve that without three or four key players, then I'm very, very impressed. I just hope we get back on the horse soon. Suarez is still an utter cunt. And Defoe, Jeez. Yet another match providing a clear argument that if we had a good centre-forward we'd have cruised into the CL this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
