How the **** did Riise expect to get that cross in with the man a foot in front of him. Total sunday league ****e

Kuyt barged into by Laursen. Free kick in Villa half taken by Xabi, comes to Gerrard but his pass wide is behind Riise and out for a throw.

Villa doing a decent job of stopping us getting going so far and the odd sign of danger when they break.

Do we have NO other options for left side........??!!??

[bigfooty]

Villa throw down the right, mid-way through the first half.

Cleared eventually, Carra clips it forward for Torres to chase but an obvious nudge gives away a free-kick.

SG our best player. All good stuff going through him but there is no flow to our game. Torres had one major shot on goal. Pennant wasteful and annoying. Riise done nowt on the right.

Nice one pal cheers!

What the **** was Kuyt doing...why didn't he take the shot!!!!

[bigfooty]

Gerrard with a great ball through to Kuyt who delays and runs into trouble, chance wasted and a very good chance at that. Kuyt's lack of pace to blame.

Mellberg fouls about 25-30 yards from goal and is booked.

25mins gone. 1 shot on target. Riley is an awful ref

[MyEye]

kuyt u useless **** - - Is he a midfielder or what?!?

[bigfooty]

Torres was the play fouled. Xabi free kick looked for a deflection didn't come. Good saving tackle stops Villa countering at pace.

[Biff]

Good work Arbeloa to break up quick Villa break

dirk krap

Wake Up Pennant The Season Has Started!

[bigfooty]

Torres to Kuyt, wide to Pennant who whips a cross in but Villa clear it as Torres waited for the ball to drop. Important clearance.
