Adam bloody scares me when he's tackling back!

Thought it was a pen, thank God it happened and Gerrard kept his cool and scored a vital goal.

Overall a good performance.  All the players are trying hard, Bellamy brilliant as ever, Downing much better than in previous games which us good to see.

Hope we keep it up in the second half!  Nervous as Hell.

It was his attempted chesting of the ball prior to that i have an issue with.

Same, I'm just not comfortable with him.

we're playing on the break. he's got space to run into. he's at his best in that sort of situation.
And that is the problem with Downing. Tight space cum-trickery he does not have. Which is a quality in wingers you need to break down lesser teams who park the bus.
The courts, the rich, the powerful or those in authority never lie. It has been dealt with 'by the courts' nothing to see here run along.

Well done Downing tonight. Been a few times where he's just hit it forward into silly areas that Bellamy is never gonna make it to but other than that he's been very good. This is what i want to see from him more often, he's going inside and out and running at players with the ball. One of those runs was fantastic, would have loved it to have ended with a goal

Kuyt and Bellamy have been after everything, Henderson to.

Downing is actually taking on players too, far improved.

Anyone complaining about Adam not covering the De Jong goal needs to sit down and ask themselves - Would they rather De Jong shooting from 30 odd yards or to see David Silva running at our defence with runners around him?

I don't. I need to ask myself why anyone would think leaving 15 yards of space for the man they were supposed to be covering is ok.
I trust the King, but if we lose a few more on the trot now - he may have to step aside, and we have to purchase another manager in the middle of the season. If we are relegated, this could be the end of our ambitions to win any title the next 100 years.

"Former Premier League referee David Elleray said the referee's interpretation depends on whether the hand or arm is in an "unnatural" position at the point of contact.

"Referees look at two specifics - did the hand or arm go towards the ball or in a manner which would block the ball, or is the hand in a position where it would not normally be?" Elleray told BBC Sport.

"The challenging decisions are if the defending player spreads their arms to make themselves bigger.

"If the ball hits the arm then the referee must decide whether this action was to deliberately block the ball or whether the player has raised their arms to protect themselves - especially if the ball is hit at speed." "


Looked pretty unnatural to me.

Not just that, he is willing to attack the defender, something we've seen too little of.

How the fuck can so many people say Adam playing well??? Unfortunately a central midfielder has to do more than play pretty long balls. That goal was 100% on Adam. Gerrard went from chasing Silva to sliding in front of Details Jong while Adam jogged along behind the play as a spectator as usual. So fucking sick of that shit. If he's not going to play defense keep him out of the defensive third. His play leads directly to scoring opportunities EVERY FUCKING GAME for the other team. Cool that a few passes have tricked so many people into thinking he's playing well.
