Decent game, not bothered by the result.

Did you get the feeling it was like watching a fast paced friendly?

[Roboklopp]

Yep! Already turned it off.

us too- missus is watchin yes pm

mebbe time for some gears of war i think

Good game,matched them thoughout I thought.

Bad miss from Babel in front of goal,easier to score.Bad decision on the offside for the crow too and decent shout for a peno so all in in not too downbeat about that result.

Added bonus is Aquilani gettin on and really looked the part,short time on the pitch and all but impressive none the less,great cross field Alonso type pass for Degen.

Hows nemeth getting on these days i saw him play in the under 20 world cup and he looks good. Lets **** Voronin off and give this lad a go

[Shaggy]

Thought both of them were ****.

Thought Plessis had a good first half but totally vanished in the 2nd.

[Icon]

I thought we perhaps deserved a draw.

We showed some good attacking intent in the second half but just couldn't apply the final touch that would bring us an equaliser.

I thought we deserved the result.

And 5 lie still pissing me off!

[certifiable]

Ah well.

Thought that was an interesting game, in some ways we were a bit unlucky to lose.

I agree, for all their "beautiful football" we were equally if not more incisive and fast in our passing. Were let down by poor finishing or final ball.

Very entertaining, and thought we deserved a draw at minimum.

Aquilani, whilst only 15 minute cameo, showed glimpses of his passing range.
Plus, was it him who tried the overhead, which should have led to peno?
Looked goalbound to me; if so, he's showed more than most do in a 15 minute or less cameo, that he looks like the real deal.

[Marky]

FFS, i can't believe we've just gave Plessis a new 4 year contract.

[Shaggy]

Plus, was it him who tried the overhead, which should have led to peno?

Yep

Our passing to feet was definitely every bit as good as theirs. Really ****ing annoying me all this ****e. Even Bendtner's at it now.

[Rich]

Thought both of them were ****.

I thought they did pretty well. Spearing's passing and hustle caught the eye, while Plessis is a pretty solid defensive midfielder.

Spearing will not make it at the highest level, his stature is just too diminutive to make it in midfield - I mean even Mascherano must tower over him?!

[Rich]

Did you get the feeling it was like watching a fast paced friendly?

Pretty much - it was like both Managers didn't really care about the result.

[Shaggy]

Oh **** off Sky, I'm going for a smoke. **** you Merson, **** you Redknapp

Don't think it was a penalty though, there's no way he could have got his arms out the way.

Agree totally matched them with passing, very impressed with it, had feared been cut to ribbons prior to game and for first few minutes.

And it was aquilani, happy days; perfect technique on overhead, beautiful.

Oh **** off Sky, I'm going for a smoke. **** you Merson, **** you Redknapp

And **** you Motson!

Slaughtering us on 5.
