dont understand yesterday we attacked Man Utd and gave them a scare, we attacked Man City and held them for 70 mins yesterday we stood off Liverpool a team with only 3 more points than us and got spanked! Wards mistakes were terrible where is Barnett if Whitbread and Ayala are out I know he too made some mistakes earlier in the campaign but how Ward gets the nod ahead of him is very strange Morro word of defense for this guy he did not stand a chance did not get the ball and spent most of his time running at defenders trying to knick the ball....aint going to happen 1 up front means you dont win the ball and the ball comes straight back. I just hope 43 points is enough Today I am a Chelsea fan, but I can see QPR turning them over then we will all be getting our predictors out again. V Arsenal, can we please drop Ward and go and attack them !
I still don't understand not playing holt and another striker You never know at the gooners, we did it at spurs. Then again, we will probably get thrashed . Our goal difference is now looking a bit grim
First half I thought Morro did ok baring in mind he had absolutely no support whatsoever. He won a few flick ons, contolled the ball ok (for him) and linked play where he could. The real problem yesterday was the inability to thread the play from defense to attack mainly because Livepool kept such a high line when not in possession. They did to us what we did to Swansea away! The last three games we haven't passed the ball well at all. The movement in midfield has been poor so the options from the back have resulted in too many long balls pumped forwards. Keeping the ball therefore becaomes incresingly difficult to manage playing this way.
Fair point even Fox lost the ball in midfield. I think it's our strongest area but it still has it's problems we're lacking that final touch sometimes I feel that we can be a bit indecisive at times, like I can't see someone playing a defence splitting pass we always seem to want to play it safe pass it into the net or cross the ball.
