riise

Actually thought Pennant did alright, barring the occasional daft concession of possession. Got plenty of balls into the box, not his fault that those in there were too inept to take advantage.

But JAR for me.

Pennant was gash again today. Sub-standard crossing and lost the ball a fair bit again too. Was relieved Rafa took him off early in the second half.

Not much to choose from but I'm going with Garcia for our MOM he wanted the ball when nobody else looked like they did. He sparked us into life when he came on.

aha, someone who saw the same match I did

[Craig_H]

Not many others were putting crosses into the box. He constantly found space wide right and was always available as an option.

He didn't find the space, it was just there. On the right. Where any right midfielder would be positioned. The space was there for him yet again today because the opposition didn't fear him getting in behind.

So they 'feared' Fabio A??

[Red_Polo]

So they 'feared' Fabio A??

I know I did

To be fair Fabio switched to LB and Riise moved up to LM quite early on. Wasn't sure whether to be more or less worried

[redlancer]

JAR for me only attacking option we had

Pennant is scared of taking anyone on and when he does he does a full circle.
starts on right, cuts insdie, past a player turns and runs back to the wing.

Blackburn did double up on him tho'

[Shaggy]

I'm beginning to sound like a stuck record, but Pennant is absolutely ****ing ****.

Alonso.

[royzared]

Riise.

[Morph]

Tough one between Hyypia and Alonso for me, think I'll have to say Alonso, his passing was top notch.

[GordonGecko]

Finnan or Riise....

Riise it is.

[Morph]

why do so many people seem to be taken in with this Finnan stuff, he was absolute gash yesterday as far as i'm concerned.
