Blackburn (a) match thread

[flyboy]

Why is Kuyt on the pitch, he has been awful tonight. He seems to have no idea how to be a striker.

to be a striker??? i think he has no idea how just play

[The Erectile Banana]

Time and time again we start well for 10 minutes, stifle the game for more than an hour, then open it for the last 15 minutes - I think this is what Rafa actually wants. If we win today we'll probably keep on with it. Problem is, if you don't take your opportunities you'll probably end up with only a goal per game - or nothing at all if you play Kuyt in.

That doesn't sound too far from the truth.

You can definitely see a pattern emerging.

[red g]

its funny how some people say Kuyt is only ****e because he plays out of position, he started as a main striker in a 4 -5 ****ing 1 and is still ****.

he is with sissoko and riise in my january **** of your **** sale

[Kilteragh]

I'm sure one on one with the keeper and blazing it over is better than the other 'efforts'

Not that one mate the - the one where he chested it down and went past the defender and shot across goal.

[Gaz]

Another Bore Draw and our faint title hope fades even further

[bigfooty]

Into 2 minutes of added time. Riise throws it straight to a Blackburn shirt. We get it back, eventually comes through to Kuyt who lays it off for Momo but Kuyt is given a foul against for pulling defender's shirt.

Finnan slices a ball out of play and we're into added on time for the added on time.

Full-Time it is and, well, the next couple of days will not make pleasant reading on here.

FT 0-0

Lessons to be learnt by Rafa:

1/ Games last 90mins and you are allowed to play football throughout the game
2/ we play 4-4-2
3/ Crouch should start
4/ Kewell needs to play more often
5/ Kuyt is frigging awful

[red g]

is there any point in doing a scapegoat of the week post ?

[Chrono]

We will NOT finish in the top 4.

[Finnish_Red]

We will NOT finish in the top 4.

Great response. Did you watch that and perhaps the last 10 games with perhaps the exception of parts of the Arsenal game. We are boring, offer no threat, our strikers suck and creativity is non-existant.

Keep teling yourself everything is fine...

[JohnDoe]

Simply disgraceful, took us 80 minutes of negative ****e to start playing football.

[slimbimjim]

Last 15 minutes were a massive improvement but it is clear that Kuyt has **** all ball control or confidence.

Yes we are still unbeaten but the manner of our play concerns me.

Please play Crouch and Kewell more often!

[Craig_H]

Well, what a dire showing. As i said from the outset, Kuyt is balls and Crouch should be starting...

Waits for coops to tell us it's only a 'matter of time' before Kuyt scores a hat trick to win us this game...
