Get more men in the box and we will score, its as simple as that right now. And maybe bring on Maxi before the 65th minute if we aren't ahead. Bellamy maybe for the final 10-15 minutes.
I'm baffled by this line up. Carroll is a striker. Not starting. Maxi is an attacker. Not even on the bench. Bellamy is an inspiration. Not starting. WTF! It takes one chance from Stoke and we're ****ed.
Its even worse than usual. The worst half of football I've seen from us this season. Not that Stoke have helped. 10 men in their own box and hoof, hoof, hooooof.
Sgt I would bring on Pennant we've given the ball away far too easily and v Liverpool? Eventually it's a no boner they will score. IMO. Have a decent stream and Wilson/Delap Whelan just can not keep the ball. We're defending well but..... this can't happen for another 45mins. KD will change it 2nd half. T.P. will not until we're a goal down.. what's new. I think Fuller with his pace would be better than Crouch who is isolated. And, WHY is Pennant not playing.. so far, so good according the gospel of St Pulis. I'm praying for a mirlcle that we hang on because that, is all we are doing.
Oh and on top of all of this, Scholes scored ( we were slagging them on why bringing him out of retirement was a mistake). Right, second half, let's go boys!!!!
Can Charlie Adam get the ball past the first man for once in his ****ing life?! Jeeze, every cross lands at the first defenders chest. It's pathetic. We are T to the oothless yet again.
Yeah, right, so he'll bring on an attacker. 80 minutes in! This is my one beef with Kenny, he's stuck in the same mind set as Rafa where subs are concerned, brings them on far too late when it's all over bar the bloody shouting!
Wasn't a mistake, it was desperation. What else have they got but two decrepit old farts over 35 to get them out of a hole? And it's worked!
Our service is still poor, not just set pieces, but in general. Think combination of not good delivery with players not really getting into good positions in the box. Johnson has been probably our best attacker this game.
Not the only Rafa similarity, remember Rafas crazy starting lineups. They were identicle to this. I mean What the **** is kenny thinking with our lineup? Seriously? This game is doing my head in.
