Seems every match for the last month has been a "must win " for our strugglers. This one is no different. A loss here would almost certainly mean we will be fighting for 4th place for the rest of the season, and not the lead, which is not easy to swallow. Can Coco do the business??? Well if we can't beat West Ham, you'd have to say no, but I think we will win this one. I think the team is deeply affected by the last month, and the fans are rightly outraged. It all adds up to a collective downer. Pity the poor players, most of whom have had their playing styles changed 4 or 5 times by a succession of managers all wanting something different. They don't know if they're Arthur or Martha. Look at Mikel, gone from an also ran to our best DM and then dropped by Coco along with Mata. What was he thinking ???? Benitez has to get things right or he could be heading for the revolving door before Christmas. Hope he realises that winning is about defence AND attack, not just one of them.
i think the best chance we have is that they will fancy it being at home and there will be space for us, i just worry with no lamps or terry for this one as at times it will be a dog fight
I thought that against City mate! Nah, for some reason I hate drawing derby games. Rather see us go at them but you could be right in that it's an open game. Good news is that Cahill and Ivan will get a game together - a pairing I liked seeing!
This will be the defining test for Rafa! Can he take a Lamps/JT-less CFC to Upton Park and come back with 3 pts? If not Roman and his mates better make sure , if they are attending the Bridge afterwards , that they have got their ears packed with cotton wool!
I have no criticism for Benitez. I expect the link to attack to start getting more fluid again. 2-1 Blues
!0 out of 10 for attitude Varier, though I don't share your view of Benitez. With his history he shouldn't have taken the job. Skin thicker than a QPR fans', and arrogant with it. Not the face I want to see as representative of our Club. Hope you get the score correct.
Well, what the **** was that?! 1st half we were brilliant, their first goal shouldn't have been allowed imo but our 2nd half performance deserved an arse kicking. Torres needs to **** off, and **** off sharpish.
don't think so.. to the OP.. is this called reverse hammering 1-3?? wtf, until now had a remote thought that rafa is tactically better than RDM - now everything is over..
