I have Many, I repeat MANY f*ucking negatives, about the match, the performance, the personnel, the season in general and the last 15 f*ucking years in general too if I am totally honest.....
HOWEVER, I did see (IMVHO) one extremely good positive from tonight!
And that was Scott Carson.
I thought he was very good (I want to say excellent, but we lost
). He made some good saves from close range and didnt look troubled when doing so too!!His distribuition was exceptional, very assured to say the least, but what I really liked was the way he kept giving it to the full backs, instead of sending it long and into the mix (a la Dudek!), where you can easily lose possesion*.
Carson, seemed to command his box too, (something Reina has failed to do {in terms of talking, not presence}) and looked to have good communication with the baxk four, even though this could be because three of them he plays regularly with in the reserves I believe
(Pls correct that if wrong!).But, a very poor period, for me, has at least confirmed (yes, in this one game and prevous games played) that we have a future England No.1 on our hands.
Yes, yes, I know, we said the same with Kirkland (who incidently is playing well at the moment) but I really think that Scott Carson is going to be a top top player for us in the future, and at this time, I am glad that i have been given something to be happy about.
I dont know, if it was Rafa or Paco or whoever (admittedly I dont have the best knowledge on the workings of the inner sanctum) who spotted and scouted Carson, it doesnt really matter (then again, with everyone criticising Rafa's buys, it could add to his stock right now!), but they have to (IMO) be commended for noticing and advisng that he was bought.
Thought it was time to TRY and bring a bit of positivity to the forum, as I said before, it has gone a bit nuts!!
Walk on..................
*Though when it was needed he did send it long, and if not sending it out wide, was hitting the front men. So his accuracy is very good.
He has great feet(aswell as hands!), and best of all is so young, I just hope we have the right coaches to bring him on, its not as if Reina (who is still relatively young for a keeper {a point that has just made me think 'How many chance is Carson gonna get under Rafa, with his current "I love certain players" agenda'}) is a Van Der Sar, who has seen a lot and can pass on his knowledge!!
