Let's get this straight. You said "maybe Pepe should look at his own game..." which clearly implies that there is something wrong with Pepe's game in general. Criticising someone for a mistake and saying there is a defect in their game as a whole are two different things. As it was, Pepe anticipated a touch from the attacker that never came and his hands were out of position to block the ball properly. It was a mistake. Not a problem with his game that he needs to look at.

You were wrong.

Eccleston makes a good run but Poulsen can't get the ball within 20 yards of him.

poulsen got past the man slowed things down and then everything was too late so he kicks it into a position miles away from NE

Can anyone tell me if Babel's been putting in work?

Yeh hes chased down all night , ran the channels too when pacheco tries to drift. Done very well

Roy will put his arm around Joe Cole after the game and tell him everything'll be all right. If Joe's lucky he may get a bit of a cuddle from old Roy

Well he's been isolated but when he gets the ball he's been our best player.

yet to see poulsen make one forward pass.Roy's lovechild is a total liability.

Had to laugh just then at Poulsen. Runs all the way over to the danger, and then when he gets there just stops and watches as the guy runs past him with the ball effortlessly.

Heh, about the first thing I saw when my stream kicked in.

He's consistent at least..

So am I right in saying you would be implying that the tactics are the issue rather than a glaring error?

No, it was poor handling, im no goalkeeper but ive played enough football to know if you bend down for a ball with your legs akimbo you run the risk of an embarrasing howler, what im saying is if our tactics didnt involve dropping back to the 6 yard box when we give away the ball it lessons the chances of said howler happening.

Pacheco has been one of our poorest performers in this match.

Happy days, load of youngsters on and we look the better for it. I must say, while they haven't been out-standing, kelly, Pacheco, Wilson and Jonjo have all done enough to suggest they could play a role in the first team from here on in.

Ah so status quo then....

Not yet. And Roy's only got one sub left, so only Francis Rossi will be coming on to play upfront.

He's a right-back.

Hit and miss. Nothing to write home about. Coming up against two bruisers at a time with no support isn't helping him.

Pacheco tried a dribble, and failed.

Roys vengeance will be swift and....

Not good on the wing, but when he comes into the midle he has been very neat and tidy, some dangerous passes. I think he's shown enough to suggest he could do well with the team in time.

We do have that young Flanagan on the side who is a RB/LB apparently

This really is a terrible performance and I've only been watching since about 35minutes in the first half. Inviting pressure, as usual. Hoofing, as usual. No pass and move, as usual. This is dire. Babel looks like our biggest threat and main playmaker, and I've only seen him get the a ball a couple of times.

He the sort of player who needs us to attack to see his talent though isn't he, he's no good playing in a game when were this deep.

Looks a class above to be honest making some good runs but getting absolutely 0 service as we are missing out the midfield every time we get the ball
