crap football

i hope we realise soon that our defence isn't exactly fantastic. and our long balls, esp from a certain manuel almunia are crap(true adebayor scored from one of them, but not every day is sunday). so if you add those together, and think about how we have been totally dominated for long stretches in the villa game and now at newcastle, if you have enough brains, you will realise that the best way not to expose your defence is actually to keep the ball with simple short passes.

we didnt have enough desire. we didnt have the quality to play long balls, which could have been devastating because newcastle were pressing too high up. this quality is lacking because no one can play an accurate ball, or at least one tt isn't overhit so there's some hope in reaching it. and it is also lacking because adebayor loves to foul the defender who is under more pressure from him or get himself offside. all unnecessary.

wad didnt happen against villa happened at newcastle. if arsene wenger isn't concerned, i have nothing to say. but this is crap football from us again. we have forgotten how to play.

almunia-5
dealt with all the shots directed at him. but his distribution sucks, his decisions suck.

clichy-4
he jsut ahve to ask himself how many balls he gave away.

gallas, toure- 5
nothing much to say.

sagna-5
made more mistakes than usual. did unnecessary things.

gilberto-4
he was even playing?

diarra-5
good effort to try to dribble out of his own half. sometimes successful, but the passes were always poor, and didnt keep the ball well.

rosicky-5
very very disappointing. i thought he would grab this chance to shine. but he didnt

eboue-5
no chance for him to do anything.

eduardo-5
i have nothing to say.

adebayor-5
great goal. but after that, everything went wrong. a simple pass would have split the entire defence, putting eduardo tru, but chose to take on the defender himself and got a corner. how dumb is that.

bendtner-5
improved teh passing in front after he came on for eduardo, but the fact is that he din do enuff to get a 6.

our tendency for the past 2 games is to shut off after taking the lead. if we are going to play like that, we can kiss goodbye to the title. it is a tremendous disappointment to let newcastle back into the game and not get all 3 points from it, not just because every match should be a win, but also because newcastle are in crap form now. no doubt they will turn it around sooner or later, but why must we let ourselves be the loser who gave them confidence?

to be frank, i dunno wad is more disappointing: the result or the manner in which we just let them hit us

it should ahve been 6 points clear. not this lousy 4 points.

remember what cryuff said.
they can't beat us, but we certainly could lose to them.
