So I'm about to be very harsh but I think it is the truth.
I am normally the one who says if they pull on a Liverpool Shirt we must just get behind them, but tonight against Arsenal we showed how weak we are.
How many times must Babel miss a tap in till he gets a right kick in the pants or better yet sold. In all honestly tonight is not the first or second time that Babel has missed a tap in because he went with the wrong foot. someone should tell him it is legal to use your left foot. I don't know if this has tried to be corrected in training or not but he is not worth a place in this squad. I for one would much rather have someone like Pacheco or Nemeth in the squad, lets be honest they could not have have done any worse. They also have the right attitude and a game like this would have helped their development, while Babel does not seem to have the capacity to learn or grow. Nor does Babel seem to have the desire to try and I'm fed up.
Plessis celebrates a contract extension by not have any positional sense or discipline what so ever and really made Spearing work harder than he should have against a very good young team. He did not tackle well and seemed to have know idea what to do when going forward. Now I'm just trying to work out why he got an extension? It is beyond me right now!
Spearing would have had a much greater and positive influence on the game if Plessis could play football.
Degen seems to just run straight and then what?He is not good enough to play on a game console never mind a real field. He did not cover his position and on more than one occasion Kuyt had to move to right back because
degen was missing. I think what made me mad about his performance tonight was the fact the he could not make a simple back pass and just played into touch. What the hell kind of player is that. Kelly at 19? id already twice the player Degen is and I'm sure that must make him feel like sh!t and so it should. Degen is not needed in this squad when we have Kelly and Darby who can both play right back better than him.
Voronin did allot of running tonight, it is just a pity he could not play football. He showed no real awareness through the game. He was also at fault for the goal, he really needs to learn to clear a ball or maybe it is just that he can not pass more than one foot from himself. I like the one dummy he played as well, it was just a pity he dummy-ed himself!
Cavalieri looked for the first time that I can recall, dodgy. The less said about his performance the better.
N'gog has allot of potential and did well, but we were carrying to many players tonight which meant there was no one who could help support him.
What a goal from Insua. I hope this give him some confidence to take a few more shots.His technique was fantastic, to get that dip, a real class goal.
We were well out played tonight by a very good arsenal team. Take nothing away from them, they should have won by more.
Our problem was that we carried to many players and we had to many players trying to play for two and this did not let us play our game. I think we need a major change to the squad as soon as possible. I know that is not easy with the budget that we have to work with and i'm not saying that we need world class players, but we do need a few consistent players who can carry their own weight against a young inexperienced team like tonight. That would not be to hard to change, at least I don't think so.
A special welcome to Aquilani for a debut. While short you could see the reason he was bought. Having not played for nearly 7 months you can expect him to be a bit rusty, but still had some great touches. I believe he will be a fantastic player for us this season.
Lets hope our first team stay fit and we should really have good go at the league this year.
Till I calm down......
