out of nothing
when the camera followed the flight of silva's ball into the net, i was like 'oh, so there's the ball'. i am sure the millions of people watching the game, either at the stadium or at home, must have shared the same thought. and then, after a moment or two, they would, like me, realise that the ball was in the net. it was a goal.
something out of nothing. a fantastic shot, no doubt, but still something out of nothing.
just like drogba's goal. it should never have happened.
canizares was very very disappointing. it is not the first game this season that he has looked so cagey, so unreliable, so hesitant. he is flapping at balls. yes, like lehmann. oh god, not another one. the older they get, the more eccentric they get. whatever happened to the experience that's supposed to come with age??? canizares is supposed to be a top class keeper. supposed. oh well, we should never have sold palop back then. he had come in for canizares a few times and did very well, i remember. that championship season, if i am not wrong.
joaquin is supposed to complete the valencia jigsaw. that right winger we have been searching for all this while. well, on paper. he has done nothing to set the liga alight this season, nor given the mestalla a reason to give him a standing ovation, something you would expect a player of his calibre and reputation should be very capable of. even miguel seems to be able to dribble through the defence more successfully than joaquin.
and i am not making these judgements based on this morning's game alone. on all the valencia games i have managed to catch this season. maybe joaquin hasnt had much chances this season, so he hasnt really performed. and even though i have said i am disappointed by them, i am still waiting for them to prove me wrong.
we didnt play fantastic. neither did chelsea. chelsea can only blame themselves for failing to beat us, because our defence was quite scrappy. in my opinion, the way we performed had already made the job easy for them. and of course, the mentality, especially after the silva goal, was all wrong.
why can't we attack away from home? why must we look for a draw? why can't we go win it?
attack, attack, attack!
win.
