One thing that annoys me is the lack of passion we've apparantly shown again. It's getting tiresome now, losing would be so much easier to cope with if we'd actually put up a proper fight.
When you admit to having missed the game, you haven't really got much right to criticise the players for lack of passion...
Oh do grow up. He had one bad performance against Newcastle as did Fabregas and a number of other players. It happens. Denilson hasn't had a run of games yet this season. Expecting him to hit the ground running is quite frankly beyond stupid, it's *.Big Poppa said:We were bad but I fail to see how Denilson would have been much of an improvement given his recent form.
DK Gooner said:This performance obviously hasn't wrecked our CL campaign, so its not all doom and gloom, but it does serve as a reminder that there are still many flaws in the squad that need to be addressed.
I swear I couldn't tell what position he played if my life depended on it. For pretty much the whole match we played three at the back. Well, three for three-quarters of the width of the field anyway.fabo said:Absolutely sick of Eboue at this point I have to say. Crap defending all night from him, he was caught upfield numerous times despite offering pretty much no attacking threat. Also tried some ridiculous back-flicks around our area, I can remember 2 occasions at least.
The thing is, he's either gone backwards or just stagnated over the past 2 years. Waiting for players to come good is costing us seasons. Mentally weak, don't see him turning his performances around.AnthonyG said:It's easy to point the finger at Clichy since he made an 'obvious' mistake/mental error and not for the first time. But he wasn't the biggest problem last night nor the worst player on the pitch. I still have time for Gael.
