I'm sorry he was awful tonight. Your all going on about Rafa only playing Torres upfront but when you look at 3 of the midfielders there were goal scorers there! Gerrard, Alonso and Kewell.
Alonso just needs more game time but yet why is he the one player that always has to slow the game down when they're already sitting with 10 men behind the ball? His passing was abysmal and he was off the pace entire second half. I even noticed how he refused to pass the ball to Mascher (who once again was superb) when he was in space, and I can't help feeling there's a bit of jealously there towards Mascher.
Kewell - looked **** scared of controlling the ball as well as no pace, no bite and always wanting to take the glory shot from distance, but he can't even bring a save outta the keeper anymore. He was just another passenger tonight and surely now we must cash in and sell otherwise he'll become a bargain bin special if he isn't already..
Gerrard has looked disinterested since his winner against Derby, in fact I would have rested him tonight and had him on the bench he's looking tired as well. He showed a def lack of composure with his first half chance he could have steadied, controlled and popped it past Kirkland. But no he tried some audacious flick that was straight at the keeper. His second half golden chance of a winner should have been stuck away - yes it was a good save but did he not see Kirkland was right up on the LH post he had the whole RH side to put it past him and put all these sack Rafa threads to bed early! Instead he tried to be cute and poke it past him.. I'm not gonna mention his poor clearance that led to that stunning goal.
I think the players are more to blame after tonight - to say Rafa doesn't care is crazy did you not see him throwing that tracksuit down in disgust as well as pointing at that cunt bennet ref saying you got the result you came here for. We had enough talent out there tonight to win it regardless of whether we were playing with one man upfront or not!
I'm the eternal optimist but I reckon the title is over but I never thought we would win it realistically after getting rid of so many players last summer.
Why can't the Mancs or Arse drop points like we do
