krislu Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Sounds like we should have been a couple of goals down..

James No. 7 Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 No, we've had our chances too. We're pretty much matching Liverpool. Those two chances they had were good saves that you would expect of Friedel. I wouldn't be surprised if we win.
Lathund Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 No, we've had our chances too. We're pretty much matching Liverpool. Those two chances they had were good saves that you would expect of Friedel. I wouldn't be surprised if we win. I'm not as optimistic as you are. They've had a couple of free headers right in front of goal, and should have scored. They keep getting through on the wings.
G Somerset Rover Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 I'm not just blaming our front two but they haven't held the ball up once in this match so far. Poor passes in to them matched by poor attacking by the front two has meant that everytime we get the ball in the Liverpool third it comes straight back to our defence.

They keep getting through on the wings. If we were 2-0 or more down after that I would drag Friedel off. Having a "free header" and the like does not constitute certain goal, considering there is a goalkeeper between the sticks. I'm not just blaming our front two but they haven't held the ball up once in this match so far. Poor passes in to them matched by poor attacking by the front two has meant that everytime we get the ball in the Liverpool third it comes straight back to our defence. At least the players are huffing and puffing. I'm sure if they keep it up things will improve and things will start to fit into place in this match. We did lose 6-2 and we're too close to the bottom of the table at the moment, which reflects the poor attacking moves to some degree.
Bobby G Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 We arent matching Pool. Im watching it live and every attack from them looks like it can result in a goal. Poor defensively, and Ooijer has been caught out a few times by Bellamy and Crouch. Neill looks very very nervous and very subdued. I havent seen him take the game on by the scruff of the neck like he usually does. Obvious that he feels pressure today and he has been very very poor for me. Up front, Benni has been lively but Nonda takes ages to bring the ball down onto control and its cost him a few times.
James No. 7 Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Well done. Hardly a surprise we're 1-0 up considering we've been putting in a lot of effort. It was just a matter of time before we put together something that looked like good team work. Saying that, Tugay made that goal.
Mr. E Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 darn commentators stopped my heart for a second there screaming penalty when it was obvious the liverpool player handled dammit we have to find some way to stop them...they're getting closer and closer
Nate Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 C'Mon Matty lad. Now is your time to make yourself a hero!
West Sussex Rover Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Brown not coming on... Maybe Friedel is just being causious. Also only got about 5 mins left...
West Sussex Rover Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 how much time added? About 3 mins isnt it?
krislu Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 are we into injury time now? Damn, we need this win! Lets not do what we did away at Charlton..
West Sussex Rover Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 are we into injury time now? Damn, we need this win! Lets not do what we did away at Charlton.. Dont jinx it!!!!!!!!
West Sussex Rover Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 3 unlikely points!! MERRY CHRISTMAS HUH!!!!
Mr. E Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS we've done the incredible. and what a game it was....liverpool missed so much, Alonso especially hit a few incredible crackers, but Brad was solid as always. Finally we also put in the required effort and really battled hard, and we got the reward. amazing turnaround from just a few days ago.
tonyoz Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 In a nutshell...............Friedel - total legend!
yellowsubmarine Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Friedel and Tugay should share the MOM. Brilliant result. Some breathing space at last.
