Oh for fucks sake people, grow up a bit. Some of you sound disappointed that we won 4-1.
First half wasn't great everyone in the side did some good and some bad. Fucks sake it was a makeshift side that's been thrown together and given the circumstances we did fine. I love the direspect to Steaua on here as well, the way some of you go on with should have won 16-0 whilst playing the under 12's, because we're that good and they're that shit. Good goal from Cole and a good goal from them. 1-1 was fair at half time.
Second half was a lot better, we looked more composed, we started playing more like a team, N'Gog slotted away the peno brilliantly, then after some confusion Lucas came on and we were instantly, and i mean within 10 seconds, far, far better. Excellent positionally and slotted in a cracking goal and N'Gog finished the game with a good finish for 4-1.
I think some of you seem to think that the second some of these players step onto the pitch they should be playing like they've spent 5 years in the same first team together and know each others movements telepathically. Yes some things didn't work. I'm certainly not convinced by Cole in behind the striker, not by a long shot, and i was slightly miffed that it took him half an hour to stop doing stupid tricks and start actually playing. Meireles was pretty anonymous in the first half, grew into the second as he got to grips with his team mates and started moving it about. Maxi looked a lot better, kelly was solid, Konchesky was alright, agger and Soto had their moments, but were alright, Babel did some things well and some things not so well.
You've got to remember that some of these are reserves, fringe players and new players. You can't expect free flowing, all crushing football off the bat. What you can be, is fucking pleased at beating Steaua 4-1 at home and going away happy.
Cheer up you lot.
