FA Cup Final Post Match

[doogle]

One more....

Kenny getting criticised for today...what's he meant to do, run out there and put the ball in the net himself?

Same old story as all season. More possession, more chances, more attempts, more corners.....

Finishing not good enough and defensive **** ups. How can Kenny legislate for that?

not having a go but what what were the stats before the big man came on, great sub though

[Fredo]

Craig, fair ****s you go to most of the games but over the course of the season, including today, Kennys signings and his team selections have lacked consistency and we've had a **** season because of it

Kenny's always changed formations during and before games. It's lacking in consistency but it's flexible.

[cled the red]

Who else would you have picked for DM? Sterling? Or Maxi?

If Spearing's performance today is that of a DM, God helps us all.

[Craig_H]

If Spearing's performance today is that of a DM, God helps us all.

That doesnt answer the question.

Who else could Kenny have picked for DM today?

Why not admit that he had little or no other choice but to play Spearing?

I dont know doogle, but when are post-match stats ever based on anything other than the whole game?

Was Kelly injured?

[Chris]

Thought it was in, but it didn't count. So what?

So it was a wrongly ruled out goal. Thats all I'm saying, quite simple really.

You realise that the whole of the ball has to be over the whole of the line right?

Yes, and it was.

he showed trust in him in January(rightly or wrongly) and obviously thought the formation was the right way to go and had no-one else

[Craig_H]

Was Kelly injured?

Nah, he was sub.

I cant get my head around what's going on with Enrique. He was faultless for ages, but has looked so sloppy of late. He should've done much better with the first goal, Ramires is hardly ****ing Geoff Capes. Enrique should've been strong enough to lean him off the ball.

piss off haha, like I said not having a go just would like to have known the switch because how I remember it we never looked liked scoring until he came on

[Icon]

I'd have played Kelly.Skrtel. Agger. GJ...

I would've gone with the team that played the last 30 mins (with Kuyt instead of Downing) - yes, I know you'll say that i'm using hindsight for my reasoning but I have always said that Spearing is ****. In fact would rather play Baio from the academy than Spearing

I wasnt having a go either. But i honestly dont see any significant relevance in the stats before Carroll came on. The stats are always measured based on the whole game and rightly so. That's all i was saying.

So you'd have gone with a team that would've seen us totally overrun in midfield (more so than we were) and Henderson as the only protective CM.

Ok.

I thought he was just caught on the wrong side and looked like he was going to slide but hesitated probably thinking if he missed it was a goal scoring opportunity and the hesitation cost him, Ramires is a fast ****er
