The only three positives from tonight

[Pacman]

Pennant is good attacking player, not very good but he can do his part in attacks. The problem with Pennant is that he still isn't good enough helping out in defense even that he is getting better but he is still a long way off being good enough in defense.

We need a more complete right sided midfielder than him.

If you look at the right sided players Rafa has tried to sign, Mancini and Alves then you can see what type of player Rafa want on the right. A player that can play good attacking and defensive football and not only an attacking right sided player.

Rafa want every player on the pitch to be able to do a good defensive job and a good attacking job. Even our central defenders attacks a few times in our games.


Sounds good to me.

You still banging on about him

What a pile of horse ****. Good Bye.

You are obviously one of those that had your mind made up about Pennant when he signed. It probably irked you that he was one of our most consistant players of the past 9 months. So a couple of poor matches and your happy again. FFS even happy that a Liverpool player is suspended for the next match. Disgraceful.

I agree he was stupid last night but at least he showed a bit of guts that was lacking in a lot of other players.

And Alves is a right back

[Parm]

He is stupid at times.He is nowhere near good enough for us.

I've got to say Queresma did look quality last night, dunno if he is wortht he 25mill odd quoted, but would be a huge improvemnt on Pennent.

Can't agree. He was all show pony and no bollocks. How many dead balls and crossing opportunities did he waste? I'd put him on a par with Pennant and if Pennant had a brain he'd be a better player.

Not read the rest of this thread but how on earth can having one of your players sent off and suspended for the next match be a positive

Ridiculous. Only last week or the week before fans were moaning that McClown hadn't picked him in the England squad.

Pennant was very stupid last night but he worked his socks off and was getting as frustrated as any of us with the diving and cheating from Porto.

Apart from Arbeloa, he's probably had the best start to the season of any of our players.

The voice of reason.

Couldn't agree more.
