sounds like same old same old from last season

Kuyt needs to play as our main striker and stop dropping into midfield

[bigfooty]

Ball is cleared and Agger has it, booms it forward to nobody in particular.

Half-Time approaches, Pennant does well to get a move going with Kewell fouled in the middle of the pitch. Last chance before the break, Pennant will take the free kick and whip it in, trys to beat James but the big man claims it as the whistle goes.

[Dutte]

What's he doing wrong?

He's not doing anything wrong, but not much right either. Still early days though.

[DeeGame]

'arry looks pretty sharp though, and I'm not talking about 'arry the 'atchet or even 'arry Redknapp.

Is the letter H not working on your keyboard?

Top marks for the commentary by Bigfooty, really helpful when you're sitting in work and don't know what's going on. Cheers

I'm not watching the game, but is Kuyt dropping deep in part to link the team up with us playing two defensive midfielders?

It must be - he used the word "though"

[rob_247]

Cheers bigfooty!!

It sounds as though Kuyt is constantly dropping deep, so is Babel getting isolated up front?

dunno, just going by what bigfooty saying

[bigfooty]

A lot during that first half Kuyt would come deep to the point where our formation was:

Xabi Momo
Kuyt
Pennant Babel Kewell

Despite this Kuyt still had the best chances.

Don't you think he's enough to do watching and typing min by min account without answering questions too

I know. Gonna have some fun in a little while

He must have used Mavis Beacon Super deluxe edition to hone his skills.
Fair play.

Score anyone? Just got in.

0-0 mate

Makes you think that there is actually a hell of a lot of pressure on Fernando's shoulders, eh?

You are right, i'm not sure he's the clinical finisher that we need, if only eto'o...

Do you thinks under Rafa's instructions he's doing that, it really annoys me when a striker is every on the pitch except in the box when the ball comes in (heskey stylie!)
