Give Crouch at least 30mins Rafa FFS?

[spud_gun]

Kewells on the bench isn't he? what odds would I get on him making an 85min cameo and getting the winner?

Zero

He'll do his hammy taking his tracksuit off.

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

Utterly, utterly depressing.

Passing is shocking.

Everything is congested, no width at all.

No movement, why don't we pass and move it?

Corner to Blackburn, we clear it, it comes to Kuyt, Gerrard's off through the middle, but instead of playing him in, he takes 5 touches, gives it to Sissoko who mis-places his pass into touch.

Just about sums us up.

Get Kuyt and Sissoko off, Crouch and Lucas on.

Bottom line is though, truthfully, we just don't have the players.

He'll get 8 minutes. At the most.

[Craig_H]

I despair.

This has been really depressing. I thought we started confidently and looked strong, without doing much but still looked assured.

It just went downhill.

NOTHING up front.

Careful mate, you'll get abused for stating facts...

The bit I've highlighted is so true. We're all so static. No options, no movement, no **** all. Absolute dross.

With each game that passes I'm losing a little bit more faith in Rafa.

NOTHING player up front.

That's why.

Doubt Nelson and Samba will have an easier afternoon/evening all season.

I just don't get it either mate. At Valencia his teams were based on passing it on the floor, and players moving and everyone chipping in with goals.

Yet with us it just doesn't happen. We're getting outpassed by a team who were put together for a fraction of the cost of our side.

Just think about this one; Santa Cruz and McCarthy cost less than Dirk Kuyt.

[Kenneth]

Kuyt's been rubbish and Carra panics a lot but we;ve been alright for most of the half.

[Richie]

Is it heracy to point out that Carra is one of the worst performers on the park if not the worst. The needless handball, headed clerance when under no pressure to Dunn, clearance after clearance into the stands. He's been awful in the first half and not just by his high standards, by any ****ing standards.

[carlton]

we seem to make the same criticisms almost every week. the only thing that is different is the team we play.

I don't think it's a quality Rafa looks for in a player. Wenger and Fergy look for technical ability whereas Rafa looks at workrate and flexibility!!! It's criminal after all the time he is in charge that we are still playing such predictable football.

[shadow]

Turgid is how is I'd describe us

Surely Rafa can see all the things that are glaringly obvious to us all

Yeh, they've only hit the post twice.
