It's quite clear RH has set the team up not to concede...We're defending so, so deep with two banks of four. I could be wrong, but I don't think either full back has crossed the half way line yet.
Well done Babel & Jova for the goal, but otherwise it's been very poor and a very typical RH away performance...

Pacheco is not a right-mid. Hopefully his next manager will have a clue as to where to position players to exploit their strengths and not to expose their weaknesses.

I want so badly to come on here and wax eloquent about Pacheco's brilliance.

But, if I'm honest, I can't.

He doesn't have the pace to be a winger, when he comes into the middle he's playing neat stuff. Cole off, move Pacheco into the middle I say

Aurelio - Konchesky, take note, see all those crosses coming from the wing? No, neither did I

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #204 on:** December 2, 2010, 07:03:31 pm »

Dani's done well to be fair, played some nice passes and been one of the only ones really pressuring the opposition. If the whole team moves further up he will look better because his good work will be closer to the opposition goal and he will have more chances to find space to run into and find opportunities for a shot. He should be at AM imo. Move cole out wide and put Pacheco in there, would have put money on him taking that chance babel set up instead of the move breaking down, cole looks so rusty

smicer07 · « **Reply #205 on:** December 2, 2010, 07:03:54 pm »

Same old story. No pressing, sitting back, more frightened of conceding than anything else.

Think we should consider that most of the players out there have hardly had any first team time in ages before we start moaning

Yes that's true and the objective is to get them playing against better teams and to learn from it.

CorKopite · « **Reply #208 on:** December 2, 2010, 07:04:48 pm »

No changes for us

Tomo! · « **Reply #209 on:** December 2, 2010, 07:05:56 pm »

Shelvey not afraid to get stuck in gets the ball after goin through the player

stockdam · « **Reply #210 on:** December 2, 2010, 07:05:59 pm »

A chance for Steaua but they shoot well wide.

DonkeyWan · « **Reply #211 on:** December 2, 2010, 07:06:02 pm »

Lucky Steau are so shit.

CorKopite · « **Reply #212 on:** December 2, 2010, 07:06:40 pm »

Steaua pressuring us straight from the off. Two poor shots which fail to test Pepe

farawayred · « **Reply #213 on:** December 2, 2010, 07:07:04 pm »

Angelov blossomed in Cottbus, does anyone know how he's playing in Steaua?

Zlen · « **Reply #214 on:** December 2, 2010, 07:07:08 pm »

Have to say that Pepe looks mighty fine with that armband

Vamos rojos! Lets defend for only 45 more minutes!

Visigoth33 · « **Reply #215 on:** December 2, 2010, 07:07:56 pm »

nice to see Babel & jova doing well,Roy needs to use them more often as subs.I didn't realize Poulsen was playing and considering he is one of the senior players he is terrible,we need another goal to kill this game and bring on the other youngsters.

stockdam · « **Reply #216 on:** December 2, 2010, 07:08:00 pm »

Cole had a chance to run onto a through ball but was too slow.

Good tackle from Kelly.....corner to them.

Great tackle by Kelly. Corner to Bucharest.

He's looked slow all night - I suppose he has been out a while but...

stockdam · « **Reply #221 on:** December 2, 2010, 07:08:53 pm »

Big chance......free header from 7 yards. Pepe saves.

CorKopite · « **Reply #222 on:** December 2, 2010, 07:09:04 pm »

Left mid knows he has the beating off Kelly for pace anyay so taking him on again. Kelly would a good tackle there though.

Another good oportuinity for Steaua, good save Reina from a header. Dodgy from us again

SamAteTheRedAcid · « **Reply #223 on:** December 2, 2010, 07:09:19 pm »

Good save that Reina.

The Jackal · « **Reply #224 on:** December 2, 2010, 07:09:26 pm »

Hope we're not going to sit back for the whole second half..

I think his recovery regime included bags of chips for breakfast and supper.

Can see us losing this 2-1, they will eventually score.

We need to go forward as a team if we want to see the best of him. He's going to struggle if he has the ball and there's no one near him.

I get the feeling he'd play better if Lucas was on the pitch. Similar style of play.

Yeah I agree with those points mate. Hopefully we get Lucas on soon and see it proven.

smicer07 · « **Reply #230 on:** December 2, 2010, 07:10:29 pm »

Can I just say...

PUSH OUT.

rajeshadani · « **Reply #231 on:** December 2, 2010, 07:10:30 pm »

Why the FUCK is poulsen even in the team. We might as well play with 10 men. He had just three touches of the ball in the whole of the first half. I actually bothered to count. He was just hiding behind defenders and not once did he ask for the ball. It was just disgusting..! It was almost as if none of the players bothered to pass the ball to him. He doesn't even appear to be trying. How can a central mid manage to have just three fuckin touches in 45 min. Bloody embarrassment..!

stockdam · « **Reply #232 on:** December 2, 2010, 07:10:41 pm »

None of our players can put a tackle in.

Rohit · « **Reply #233 on:** December 2, 2010, 07:10:49 pm »

swap lucas for poulsen already dammit, there just walking through our midfield.

CorKopite · « **Reply #235 on:** December 2, 2010, 07:12:10 pm »

Hard tackle from Wilson, could of been booked really. Steau with a free from 35 yards but blow it miles over. We need to PUSH OUT and keep the fucking round thing

Xavi, in the recent derby, had over a hundred passes. that's the level we are nowhere near.

Lou Macari might have something to say about that.
