I've just had a stroke of Rafa-like genius. I'd put Crouchy in nets and have Pepe play up front with Torres.

What like last time? Terrible combo if you ask me.

Explain why then please

Well, just look at the first half of this match and it explains all.

No thats poor explanation as there has been no service at all. Not the sort of reply i expected to be honest. The whole team is poor at the moment.

OK, then. I don't think Crouch compliments Torres at all whatsoever. He's not one to pick a killer pass, is he? He's no real pace, his workrate has been poor, and he's been falling over all to easy then doesn't get back up to track back. He relys too much on balls being pumped up to him and his heading or knockdowns are terrible. He's playing behind Torres which confounds all his good attributes.

As you should well know then all what you have just listed is not necessarily about him combining with Torres more of a confidence issue due to his lack of games. Long ball game is not his strong point as again you should well know.

If Torres is playing why would Crouch need pace he needs to keep defenders busy creating the space for Torres to run into

he is showing all the signs of lack games to me.

Yeah, but when Crouch was paird with Kuyt, is was usually the job of Kuyt to create the space for Crouch. I just think Crouch should play when Torres isn't. It's just a better ballance. I'd sub Crouch for either Babel or Kuyt in this second half.

Agree. Our players couldnt play in a side like Arsenal as it requires the ability to control the ball quickly and pass it quickly. To many of our players require 2 or 3 touches before they even spot a pass. Last season we complained about lack of quility, gile, imagination. Nothing has changed. Its too much huff & puff style football. Is it to much to ask for some 1 and 2 touch passing. triangles and players making space for themselves.

why is our midfield soooo deep. at home we gotta be pushing forward and forcing the play on our terms

by **Sabre** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 9:05 pm

Yellow card for Carra.

I forgot I live 30Km away of the frontier with France and I can tune their TVs, watching the game now in TV

by **Kash_Mountain** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 9:05 pm

Not able to watch the match (don't have ss, Sopcast down).

Are we really playiny badly? In our last few games I thought that we had started to get things together.

by **Sabre** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 9:07 pm

Quite surprised to see Marseille with a line so advanced. Torres was caught off side now, but I'm sure he'll have a great chance in the next 20 mins

by **Red Dotty** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 9:08 pm

oh would so take a 1-0 win know:(
