When clear cut chances like we had today are squandered you get what you deserve.
On top of all that Riise has offered the team nothing since before xmas. I expect Rafa will be dropping him soon

oh careful there Mono mate or else all the Riise COCKSUKERS will jump at ya defending his last good game for POOL way back in 2001. Fecking Reina screwed up as well. The away epedimic form is back. Missed chances and another loss. :whatever:

[MrMichael]

Mate he misses gilt-edged chances virtually every week. All strikers do, I know, but he misses more than most. Too many.

What, and Crouch doesn't "miss gilt-edged chances virtually every week" Shaggy?

I like Kuyt and I think he offers alot to the team. He's not a clinical finisher but he can score goals. If he'd scored today it could have been a whole different game and we would all have been praising him but as we know there are no margins for error at the top level.

Stop slating the players guys ... that's becoming boring. When we win they are the best in the world, but when we lose, they are a shower of shiiiiite.

It's not like that at all Bazza.

It's 17 years without the league title, It's 3 years under Rafa with nothing even resembling a title challenge, It's 16 points behind the mancs...

It's not ****ing good enough.

[Shaggy]

What, and Crouch doesn't Shaggy?

Not as many as Kuyt.

Today wasn't Kuyt's fault but it needed saying. Some of our fans are deluded as to his level of quality.

I'm ****ing FUUUUUUUUUUUUMING and my weekend is ruined!!!!!!!!!

I'm going away for a smoke. **** this ****.

We lack that killer instinct ... We need a top class finisher upfront but today was down to luck really. Bellers had two clear chances after his goal and we were flying at that time. We were playing some terrific one touch football on the break and carved them open at will. Kuyt blew that chance early on second half also ... That's becoming a recurring theme. Was fuming too mate, threw a plastic bottle on a door when someone started to wind me up with Manure being 16 points above us.

Its a very disappointing result indeed but we all knew before this game that we are without a top drawer striker(which is why i started a thread about who we should sign up front last night) the only thing that has changed since yesterday is that we might need two. Bellamy is quick but his finishing is not clinical and Kuyt works his ass off but plays too deep. Crouch....7 foot tall and cant head the ball.

But I only enjoy games when we win.

Couldn't agree more mate. Lets face it, Kuyt works his nuts off but at the very highest level is limited. Look at the top 4's main strikers, Rooney, Drogba, Henry & Kuyt. 3 of the world's best & by comparison, 1 very ordinary player. if we are to compete for the title, we need more quality up front. i'm afraid a striking force of Kuyt, Bellamy & Crouch is way short of the required standard.

If Rooney's one of the world's best strikers, how come he scores so few goals? It took him until his third season to pass the 20 league goals total, has scored around 10 or so this season - hardly remarkable - and just went two years without scoring in competitive internationals

I'm kinda feeling the same. Absolutely gutted. They never won, we threw it away which makes this worse.

My Newcastle supporting brother will be on the phone pretty soon I would have thought.

Number 6 lads!!

Get you ticket applications in and I'll get the first beers in Athens!!

Kuyt works his socks off in game after game and he is our best striker, no question about that IMO. His work today meant that Bellamy had load of space to work with. Kuyt should have scored but Bellamy should have scored three today.

We need new strikers but at least Kuyt can blame that he is played out of position. He plays more on the left, right or central midfield than as a striker. He covers up when Pennant drifted inside and when Zenden did the same.

Kuyt is an excellent player and I can't understand why some of you are criticizing him. He works his socks off and because of that, he may lose some of his lucidity in front of goal ... That'll come when he's more at ease with the English game.
