Stewart Downing - West Hahahaham player

[red g]

Luka Modric has been fined by his club for "not turning up". Stewart Downing must be ****ting himself.



Why did Stewart Downing cross the road? He didn't. He couldn't even cross that...

Cheers Neil, Its a step up from a Bobby Davro Pic

Downing is going to have a storming season, I can feel it. He scored 9 goals in 3 seasons at Villa, I think he will score 10 this season alone

[TheElephantMan]

I think he'll continue to be ****.

Nine goals in three seasons sounds ace! We can only dream of such amazing statistics. :-)

I hope he scores 10 goals for us and gets some confidence. I always hope for the best for all our players. If they leave that's a different matter.

Has he signed for a Championship team, then?

[yamiedo]

After all thats been said about him (Including me) it would be hilarious if Downing turned into a Liverpool legend. HILARIOUS. He won't though.

Exactly. I don't see how people can be so nasty about him. I'm all for criticizing his performances. But calling him and donkey and wishing he didn't play for us isn't cool.

[Doc_antonio]

Made up for him getting his goal, hopefully he can kick on from here and get a few more. I think with the way Rodgers plays he will really thrive, quick pass and go using the wings alot, something we have failed to do in recent seasons. Fair play to him.

Didn't see the game, but apart from the cracking strike how was his overall game?

Terrible

Terrible

Seriously?

[Doc_antonio]

I wouldn't say terrible, no-one had a good game last night barr Raheem and maybe Lucas when he came on.. but he was alot better then some of the performances he put in last season..

Likely as poor as the rest.

As a whole, I think Downing could do well if given a chance. He is a very good player, he's not ****e as some say. What he lacks is the mental strength when things are going wrong for him.

He has the Anfield crowd against him tbh, a lot like Henderson. Let's not kid ourselves and say we have intelligent fans who back our players. We have fans like every other club. We don't offer unconditional support. If we did we'd have never booed a young player from Brazil struggling to adapt and adjust.

For Downing to do well he needs the backing of our support. That will come if he starts the season well. It really is as simple as that for him. He's no John Barnes but he's still a very cultured player who can make things happen when he's on his game.

I no the type of comments I'll get back and I'm not bothered tbh. If Dan and Matt and the rest want to call him ****e they can. In all honesty he was last year and I doubt he'd disagree with that himself. He has his work cut out to win back the support of the clubs fans, but a goal like last night certainly won't do him any harm.
