Pacheco and Kelly sign new deals

[Alex]

I think he was refering to Roys tactics, with Pacheco on the right last night doing more defending than attacking he was essentially playing as a second full back.

**** me, does any team need a second right back

I didnt see the game, as I was slipping and sliding home. Glad I didnt

[Chris]

He wasn't playing right back and being out of position is a poor excuse.

He showed no heart or desire at all.

You're a wum arent you? He was next to Kelly half the time and spent the other half of the game in line with Poulsen, its ridiculous.

Good news. I hope the pair go on to have a big future at LFC.

Chris is right - it was a joke for Pacheco last night. Watch the game and see where he picked up the ball more often than not. Holding hands with Kelly. He's a ****ing forward FFS, yet Hodgson continually plays him wide in a midfield four (and we know where our midfield plays under Hodgson) - just as he does Dirk, Cole, Jova etc. It's a joke.

That's a great excuse for passing the ball and standing still. Which I seen him doing more then once. A young player looking to break into the side should be showing a lot more then he did that's for sure.

Easier to blame Roy though and pretend everything is rosy.

You're just making it up as you go along arent you?

You come across as Momo, Raddy, etc the guy who's been spamming forums for years. Do you not get bored?

He only plays under instructions. Dodgson is destroying this club.

I actually think the experience might do Pacheco some good. I'd rather it came mixed with experience in his proper position but I think he might benefit from learning some defensive discipline along with his attacking play.

Agree with your general point though. Also I have to say I have been impressed by how Dirk has been adapting his game - I guess he was playing quite deep last year as well but his passing in such situations seems to be much improved.

To be honest I mate I think it's a damn sight easier to blame the kid, blame the 19 year old, without looking at the whole picture. For sure he didn't play very well but look at the reasons why. If you asked Iniesta to play in front of the right back he wouldn't look very good either, never mind a 19 year old trying to make his way in the game.

It's no coincidence that most of our attacking mid/forward players like Cole, Jovanovic, Pacheco, Maxi look absolutely **** playing for Hodgson.

Damn right. Excellent post Shaggy. Although Maxi is a bit **** anyway.

Good news this. Hopefully Pacheco can push on as Kelly has done.

[lickedlollipop]

good news

[red g]

Pacheco must know we are getting rid of the bodge or he would never have signed that deal.

Or he knows he is **** and wont last long anyway......
