The Zenden thread

[Los Rojos]

Some people will always slate Zenden however well he plays,he was one of our better players tonight.

Traore syndrome I think.

Personally, I think Zenden is a Portsmouth player but he was a bigger LFC player than some better footballers tonight.

He desrves all the criticism he gets.

[Red_Polo]

He wasn't that bad. But he was average. That's just what he is though, it's to be expected. He worked his socks off to be fair to him, but he saw an awful lot of the ball and gave us little. I don't think he should've started at all. That said I do think some of the criticism is a little harsh, it's not as if there were others who were creating chances for us.

Tonight,WHY????

[nobbylad]

Clearly Rafa has no faith in Gonzo, any decent winger would of destroyed Ferreira he's not been great a wasted opportunity tonight in that sense..........

Agree, their right was their weakest side from a defensive point of view. If ever we needed someone to exploit it, tonight was the night. Unfortunately Bolo isn't/wasn't up to it.

Not his fault, he was picked and he did his job, sadly I think he's in a steep decline.

Would of liked Zenden to switch with Risse in the second half

Why did you vote yes in the poll?

The question is: Zenden,Did he play well for us tonight?(IE,Better than Gerrard)

I'm guessing you meant no?

[AnfieldForever]

He desrves all the criticism he gets.

Who else would you have played in that position?

(this is not a dig, just a general question)

[kurtangle01]

Tonight,WHY????

You can't seriously tell me that you thought he was good tonight. What did he do that helped the team progress?


You crtiticise Stevie but that's one game and even then he still had our 2 best chances and could have scored.

What has Zenden ever offered?

[Dhav]

Zenden was extremely poor. i dont think he warranted his starting place. Like Polo says he saw an awful lot of the ball compared to our other attacking players but pretty much wasted it each time. I think he hit the first man when trying to cross it practically every time.

I have to say I was gutted when I saw his name on the team sheet and he showed nothing tonight to suggest those concerns were unfounded.

[thesilverfoxlfc]

Stevie was the only shinning light tonight the rest were poor, thats why i have hope for the second leg, we wont and the crowd wont let us play that bad again. Its not far fetched to say we can win 2:0 or even 3:0 european nights are special and i thought Chelski were not tested tonight it was too easy for them. Lets hope there will be no goals let in next week

He skinned his man more than once,cut inside and didn`t lose the ball much,he was one of our better players tonight,take off the blindfold.

No player who wears the red shirt should ever be publicly criticised...

Of course, you're right, Bolo is the man for the left....what on earth was I thinking?

[thesilverfoxlfc]

I doubt he would of been playing Arbeloa would of been left back Risse left wing and Finnan right back, it just showed the work Finnan does but doesnt always get the credit very much missed tonight.
