No place in the squad for JAR!

I really hate to whinge before kick off, I really do, but Crouch, while not playing anywhere near his best - poorly in fact - has scored 3 in 4 and 11 in his last 19.

Dirk can't hit a barn door. In fact never mind that - one neat assist apart, he's not been able to trap a bag of cement.

Yet he starts. Again.

The mind boggles.

Anyway...come on you Reds and come on ****ing Dirk! Score a goal FFS!!

Agreed. Trouble is I always live in hope for him at the start of each and every game. It's hard liking Dirk but he always gives his all. It's only after the match I get angry with him.

[Shaggy]

WTF? The live footy doctor link is giving me a little red cross?!?!

[Gazmo1]

Groan.

You're starting early, at least give us a chance to kick off before you start!

Reckon Rafa's losing his mind.

Kewell and Kuyt have been alehouse for months, yet Babel and Crouch, while not starting games have at least been scoring or looking like doing something.

At least Benayoun starts, then again Rafa would've looked a right prat had he not.

If we lose tonight the knives will be out, don't worry about that.

[Shaggy]

Yeah...Kewell FFS. I would've started Babel ahead of the useless Aussie, despite Ryan looking better off the bench.

Don't worry I'm avoiding the match threads nowadays.

Rafa is a stats man - surely he knows this ****?!

[Jack D Rips]

Aurelio ffs.

We're going to lose this one

[Gazmo1]

Do I detect a little negativity this evening chaps?

[Neil Young]

Aurelio ffs.

That's bonkers. I agree with Babel for Kewell. I don't agree with Crouch for Kuyt but I can see the argument. But if not Aurelio, then who? Surely not Jonny Riise.

[Guest]

Aurelio ffs.

What happened, was he skinned aureldy ?
