Thanjk you.

After all this recent waffle about CROUCH not getting a game....and being courted by suiters.....HE WAS LESS THAN USELESS TODAY! We all know he can't head the ball to save his life, nor can he pass it....but now we mus add the complete inability to 'read' an attack...and get onto the end of crosses (how many of those did he fail top connect with today? What does he add to our team...? Nothing!
if you are asked to play on the left of a front 3 when you clearly should be playing in the centre then of course you gonna have a bad game despite trying your best
Crouch needs a winger that can put the ball in we didnt have one today and havent had for a long time this is we IMO Morientes failed in the Prem we didnt have any wingers at all to whip the ball in

IMO.Rafa threw in the towel after 70 when taking of SG and Carra was taken off on 80 to avoid suspension.
It only takes a second to score a goal and with 20minutes left we gave up against the mighty Reading.Shocking.Could not give a **** about Europe but that is where the money is obviously.

Spot on fella, apart from we didn't get going until 30 minutes. the cynic in me thinks that Rafa was proving a point, by playing his squaddies against Reading.
What worried me more was we had no grit or fight and seemed to accept defeat
You're not the only one. He had a better game; less misplaced passes and some tenacious tackling. However, playing him and Mascherano was a poor decision, as it left us devoid of creativity in the middle, with Gerrard pushing forwards more.
Wouldn't say championship standard. Mid table prem players. always were always will be IMO. I'm still shocked that we let Fowler go to accomodate Voronin.
I'm not a fan of Aurelio either. I hope Hobbs will come good soon because from what I've seen of him so far, his positioning is terrible. I do like his ability to 'play' from the back though and he's only young so here's hoping.
