Did you notice his positioning for both the goals? Did you notice his positioning for their two chances that struck the woodwork? Did you notice his lack of quality on the ball? Did you notice he hasn't started a game for a while? Do you know why he was included yesterday?

They guy is not a left back. His pace doesn't make up for his lack of intelligence. His mistakes often prove costly. He continues to add nothing to the team from an attacking perspective. If anyone can fill me in on what Rafa might have been thinking, I'm all ears...

You're talking shit and making us read it. Please refrain.

He's turned us down already. Wants to stay in Spain.

Chris Bascombe (in a recent interview) mentioned that the press always notice the players who were down and those who acted as if they couldn't care less, following a defeat. I hope to God Riise isn't one of the latter. He seems to give it his all in every game, and maybe it was one of those 'caught on camera' moments. What matters to me is what he does on the pitch, and I challenge anyone to claim he does not give 100% when he pulls on the Red shirt. We have had plenty of them recently, and I, for one, am much happier with the work-rate and attitude of the entire squad.

Crouch is twice the height - not size. And Garcia is half the size - and gets stuck in. Also, Kewell seems to be a lot more physical recently.

Very shit, but surely he wasnt expected to be anything special? Spot on about Babb - 4.5 mil i think he was My biggest was probably leonhardsen, in that i was expecting us to bring in a top-drawer midfielder that summer - and knew this lad was shite.

pull the other one mate

And it was his first start! What about Momo's dive? The one he got card for. Hope he doesn;t make it a habit. :no

Folowing on from a comment by Vib, who says Cisse may be the biggest transfer-disappointment ever, i'd like to know who else might be a contender. Mark Kennedy has been mentioned. I'd go for Collymore...

To be fair, our zonal marking was in its infancy at that stage. In fact for those regular match-day goers, i'm sure your realised that when Pellegrino had his 3 league games in succession (blackburn, everton and someone else - i forget) he was literally placing players where they were supposed to be. That for me was the biggest (probably only) benefit Pellegrino brought to the team. I think as a general rule, not matter which style of defending; if the set-piece is delivered well, you always have a chance of scoring. This is one area which we need to improve - Alonso and Gerrard are simply not consistent enough with their delivery. You can see by Sami's lack of goals.

Why does everyone think we missed out on Villa? He turned us down and doesn't want to leave Spain. Simple as. Much as WE love this club, not EVERYONE wants to join us!

exactly we need to win this one!

far more ability far more composure far better getting on the end of crosses far better at working hard for the team far less pace good comparison

Shearer would put it bottom corner all day How the fuck can you compare cisse?

It was a first goal actually! And default is the reason you're still in existance. And i believe that you would have left the stadium by half-time, along with the other 3000 or so cockneys that bothered to make the journey. Now fuck off back to CFC.net

i blame crouch :blah

What's a shame? Pongolle has added value to our squad over the last couple of seasons. He has helped changed the game on numerous occasions, and will be a part of the squad next season. Le Tallec has attitude problems. That's the shame!

Seriously? You mean you don't blame Crouch? :whistle:

It seems as though Jerzy's Istanbul heroics have made certain people forget the amount of points he cost us. He was great in his first season, but so were our defense, so whoever mentioned that Reina has nothing to do with our clean-sheets needs to look at that. He has been very average in the last 3 years. If it weren't for Kirklands injuries, he would have already been sold. Reina is a vast improvement. And only 23! PS - if you watch the final again, you will see at least 3 bad pieces of goalkeeping from Jerzy. Glad he'll get his Anfield run-out tho - maybe that's why we didn't appeal :whistle:

playing silly jokes? why the fuck are you on here? king's road bell-end

Two extremes there. I think Crouchy can fall into the enthusiastic and will-to-win category. But let's face it - that was 14 mil down the carsey!

I see both Pongolle and Mellor coming back. Not sure about le Tallec. Agreed on Cisse and Moro. We are improving rapidly and they are just not adding anything ot he team I think Rafa knows this, and I don't see sentiments getting in the way.

even their mascots are cheating little shits who lack class :dunno:

Rash - you're the only one mentioning Crouch. The thread was about whether we should keep Cisse or not! Why don't you post a new thread stating your theories on the Crouch situation (not that we need to know!) and leave it at that. I'm sure most people are bored stiffless from these sly digs and uninformed garbage you spout out about our 2-metre Peter. Ps - mitchd - the first reply was an answer to your question.
