going down with this team no ideas at all

[VillaRoy]

James Collins should have got that ball that caused the goal. Shocking. Hogg needs to go off asap, need some experience in there, and its only a matter of time when frustration kicks in and he gets a second yellow. Shame Heskey gets injured so easily.

[Spoony]

So can anyone tell me what James Collins is bringing to the team today?

Welsh cakes. He baked them himself

[kurtsimonw]

Worst reffing performance since WC2002, embarassment to English football.

Stan on for Hogg.

[ONO]

I wonder if people still believe those Yank bastards will deliver the bright future campaign?

[Razor]

this game is screaming out for Bannan. Gone shit since Heskey went off, knew we would.

[dudevillaisnice]

Still alot of issues with the squad, Hogg is limited in his ability needs to go off as it isnt his best game and he is already on a yellow, I actually fear playing kids all the time will be our downfall.. we need experience in there.

[uncy_chris]

We just cannot get near the ball at the moment. Their technique is way beyond ours.

Exactly. Technique is so important if we want to play possession football.

Get Hogg off for NRC or petrov

[AVFC-Prideofbrum]

We played better against 11.

Harsh to be one goal down at the time it happened because we were looking just as dangerous.

Since then though, no complaints. Not good enough. We just don't these sort of players. We need someone like Young who will try to make something happen.

Hogg has to come off and Petrov on.

I'd bring Bannan on to but we have to be careful we don't make 3 subs and then something happens like an injury and we have to go down to 10, so wait till about 60-65 minutes for that one.

[mtb_wm]

I think Delph has been poor and has consistently wasted possession.

At least Hogg has got stuck in.

[snowychap]

Well, Houllier, you better bloody do something about that lot as it's not looking very good, at all.

Hogg and Delph (I've hardly seen him in the game) off - Stan and Bannan on, please.

[Alpaywasawesome]

I want Stan on for Hogg.

Surely Petrov has enough in the tank for 45 minutes.

And boy do we really need some creativity in there. Delph is trying but the others all seem scared to make telling passes into the forward. Delph made so many great passes to Heskey in the box in the first, half, but all the time Heskey played it back out to the wings again.

Lichaj has had a stormer today.

Showed up Bale for what he is. A one-trick pony.

[shambles]

Need to get a ball player in the middle of the park quick. The ideal opportunity was Bannan for Heskey. Get 5 in midfield and make them do the running.

[AVFC-Prideofbrum]

I think we're a little unfortunate to be behind but since the sending off, we've been really poor.

[dudevillaisnice]

Lichaj is actually awesome, reckon we need to change his stats on FM, someone needs to AndyClarke

[deeps]

I think Delph has been poor and has consistently wasted possession.

At least Hogg has got stuck in.

Agree really.

Hogg of @ HT and then take Delph off if things don't change for young Barry

[PompeyVillan]

I wonder if people still believe those Yank bastards will deliver the bright future campaign?

And the award for the most retarded post of the thread so far, goes to....

ONO

[tonyh29]

Delph started slowly but starting to get into the game

would maybe bring both NRC and Petrov on at HT though

[Laivasse]

Delph has been anonymous most of the time and rusty-looking the rest of the time. Could be a good bet to have him off as well as Hogg, with Bannan and NRC on as replacements.

[briny_ear]

Briny... we're trying. We have a reserve team against a 10-man side who beat Inter Milan... what do you expect?

You're [- NOT YOUR!!! -] right, I should lower my expectations to try and put a bit of joy in the world.

Fixed for you

Checked for grammar - at least try to get that right if you are trying to put words in my mouth. :winkold:
