Shit - those crosses keep coming from Kelly's side

Babel has 3 defenders round him now..........good that means there will be space elsewhere.

Wilson and Shelvey look comfortable and are doing well. Nice to see them playing centrally. Would like Dani and Kelly to get to play centrally too before they get written off. Joe Cole likes a nice stroll at times, he's just got a free role but with that should come the responsibility to get yourself involved.

SamAteTheRedAcid · « **Reply #123 on:** December 2, 2010, 06:45:08 pm »

Babel does well to pick up a stray pass from Pacheco there, throw in comes to nowt. They're tripling up on him now.

Ronanoman · « **Reply #124 on:** December 2, 2010, 06:45:11 pm »

It doesn't seem to suit Pacheco, playing so deep and wide. Hope he gets a chance playing in Cole's position in the second half.

Pressure from Steaua, dangerous cross from the left, Soto heads it out. They hit it well off the rebound but it flies wide to Pepe's right.

Balls - I must be lagging everyone else.

Well done Babel for handling three players and winning a throw in!

True - all we need is Poulson to spray it wide to the other side, oh wait...

Oh what a miss from 8 yards.

Live in the Now · « **Reply #129 on:** December 2, 2010, 06:46:11 pm »

Horrible finish, should be 1-1.

Mr F · « **Reply #130 on:** December 2, 2010, 06:46:23 pm »

how did he miss that??

stockdam · « **Reply #131 on:** December 2, 2010, 06:46:24 pm »

Sotos makes a mess and gives them a free shot which was dragged wide.

CorKopite · « **Reply #132 on:** December 2, 2010, 06:46:37 pm »

Phew, Steaaua should of scored there. Ball comes in, Kyrigakos doesnt get a proper header, ball breaks down and Stancu puts it wide from 8 yards out. Should of scored. Got lucky

SamAteTheRedAcid · « **Reply #133 on:** December 2, 2010, 06:46:41 pm »

2 good balls in now from Bucharest, getting their aim right at last so please better pressure and don't let them put those balls into our box.

RedMan89 · « **Reply #134 on:** December 2, 2010, 06:46:50 pm »

Going into half time we are lucky to be in the lead...

We have nothing in midfield to stop them coming forwards. They are having too much of the ball now.

Scarlet` · « **Reply #137 on:** December 2, 2010, 06:47:17 pm »

Too many giveaways. When we don't have the ball, we don't press. We're defending too deep.

1 - 0 doesn't mean anything when they score.

I'm still wondering that - it was so bad a miss I thought Soto must have got a leg in but no!

Corner for them.

Our midfield is non existant. why cant we press like they do, an cole your not a bloody amf get back out wide damn it.

1-0 HT. That'll do.

If it wasn't for Liverpool football club, Bucaresti would have never won the European Cup.

Good defending from Wilson. Corner from Steaua wasted on a pathetic dive. HT.

Half-time. We've got to do better. 1-0 is good but they will get chances if we play as poorly in the 2nd half.

Ryan playing well but he didn't see the ball for the last 20 minutes.

Not something I'm very proud of

CorKopite · « **Reply #150 on:** December 2, 2010, 06:50:30 pm »

Half time should be 2-1 to us really. Cole misses a good chance and Steaua miss an absoloute sitter. We were getting completely dominated in the first 15 minutes or so but Jova's goal changed it and we began looking more comfortable on the ball and defensively. Steaua were threathening towards the end again though.Need to stop so many crosses coming in.

Cole is having a very bad game. He and Pacheco should swap places.Babel has been good.

All too familiar, isn't it?

Good goal by Jova. Would like us to switch Cole to RM and play Pacheco up front.

HE IS A SUPPORT STRIKER, HES USELESS ON THE WING WITH NO PACE!!! (SO IS PACHECO to be honest)

shelveys stuggling i think
babels doing well up there on his own as hes getting fuckall support from cole...

Poulsen offers sweet fuck all. More of a liabilty than an asset

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #157 on:** December 2, 2010, 06:53:28 pm »

We miss Lucas in the middle. No-one really pressuring them as soon as they get the ball in there.

Babel doing well, created two chances the first of which was obviously scored with a nice finish from Jova, great play from him too in the build up to that goal. Happy for him to have got a goal, a player i think has been written off far too early with some calling for him to be sold already.

Defense are doing pretty well, dealing with the crosses and look dominant in the air. Limited them to only a few chances. Need to play further up the pitch, players like Pacheco, Babel, Jova are being forced to play further back than they should be which is giving them alot more running to do, move the team up the pitch a bit and we'll look alot better.

Give them less space and we will look more convincing in this. Decent enough first half though

Ultimate Bromance · « **Reply #158 on:** December 2, 2010, 06:53:32 pm »

Babel and Soto been solid so far. Cole's having a mare.

Can't see the scoreline staying the same, so be nice to actually put another one away if we get the chance in the 2nd.

James Mac · « **Reply #159 on:** December 2, 2010, 06:53:46 pm »

Good: Jovanovic, Babel, Soto, Reina
Average: Wilson, Kelly, Shelvey, Aurelio
Missing: Pacheco, Cole, Poulsen
