Big Sam Leaving After The Game

The difference is Kuyt would NEVER miss that many chances in a game because he doesn't get into goalscoring positions often enough. This is the problem - it's better to have a striker missing chances than one who never looks like scoring. He scored today of course, but he could hardly miss and knew nothing about it. It just hit him!

Hopefully though, he needed a goal like that to kick-start his season again.

How many kick starts does the guy need? He needs more kick starts than a Rover in the snow. It is atrocious at this level.

Torres looked sharp in terms of his fitness but playing 20 odd minutes and scoring and then having two week off again after being injured for a month and some, will take its toll, but I was happy that Torres was in those positions. It shows he does have movement and has the confidence to just keep and pushing on. More credit has to go to Given for a few of them especially that handball outside the area but Torres should have scored the open goal.

For the first time ever I am FLMAO - it just fell off the chair and rolled along the ground.

Dirk played well today.

Every time he AND Torres have played together this season we have played pretty well and created chances.

Selecting him was the right choice today.

We have a superb away record in the league so far this year. This has been Rafa's biggest problem over the last 3 years. Today, "rotation (Lucas, Kuyt, Momo even) worked today, we won 3-0 and could have had double that.

Kuyt has his failings. But he can play every week if the team keep playing like that as far as I'm concerned..... and Torres finishes

He played well today, he is slowly making me change my opinion on him. He has played well against a few poor sides so i will wait to see what he does against the big sides.
He is better coming on as a sub still IMO but he isnt far away from starting some games.
Lucas was tidy today.

[Howard_lfc]

Delighted with the performance.

SG was superb, Lucas looks to have picked up the pace of the prem, same goes for Babel, and a special mention for Arbeloa who was playing out of position - and nobody noticed. Big compliment to the lad.

Rafa being interviewd now. He says the owners don't understand the transfer window and need to understand what the deal is with signing players. He says it's hard to get players in and we need to act quick and not later.

He says he's only trying to do the best for the club and if the owners realise this there will be no problems...

Really felt for Rafa watching that interview, he was very genuine and unusually for him, spoke from the heart.

He also said the problems werent serious

Struck me as a very happy chappy! Big smile throughout the interview, then again after a performance like that he should be happy, we made them bad (with a bit of help from fatsam)
Lucas looking like a smart bit of business.

[Red_Al_77]

He didn't seem too worried in the post match BBC interview. Was frank and honest but seemed genuinely pleased with the team's performance.

Some good performances today, Lucas Gerrard & Babel etc

But how about that Sami Hyypia ? Another towering game

How lucky we are to have him, slowing down a tad maybe but an absolute star player for me.

A real legend.
