Good morning.
It was a game all about our midfield and our defence. Van der Vaart played a role I’d struggle to equate to that of a centre forward. The old soldier Sir Ledley ‘Large One’ King returned and his effect upon the back four was tangible to put it mildly. What worries me is that whilst it’s great to get this classy display all out transfer grumbles appear to be around replacing the strikers.
The strikers to one side, just stop and consider how amazing we’d be if we had a player as good as Ledders there ALL THE BLEEDIN’ TIME. The strikers by and large do need binning. They were irrelevant to the win.
The most notable difference is his confidence with crosses. Leaping and taking the ball creates confidence because it kills the threat.
At his best yesterday, composed and controlling. Obviously told told to ease up on the forays forward and it was a good plan.
The ‘Ledders Factor’ was very much in evidence. Like spending a day in the office with your boss sharing your desk. He looked pretty fierce.
Half man, half cyborg strapped up with half lollypop sticks bound with parcel string. That said he denied all-comers and looked like he hadn’t been away. Just fit, just excellent.
They talk about people needing to step up and this boy did just that. So many want the kids to come through and this looks like he will. Brilliant to see.
Ran about a bit but ultimately didn’t set the game alight. A good few short balls but really didn’t spark. Not a disaster, just a tad drab.
With players closing in on him from all directions he created opportunity with intelligence and skill that was a delight to watch. Anyone who doesn’t understand his importance doesn’t understand football.
Outstanding. Physically and mentally up to the Premiership demands and an excellent buy.
I just don’t get why we bought him. If anyone wants to briefly outline why, I’d be pleased to read it. He’s not awful, I just don’t get what he’s supposed to do.
Intelligent and gifted. His critics need to give him the benefit of a preseason before wheeling out what’s obvious in his first season. Needs to lose a few pounds and improve fitness.
I’ve run out of patience with him and tactics including him making the first team. I can see how on the International stage and in Europe of course but in the Premiership it seems to me that the jig is up.
He may well be a Yiddo, but championing him is a rapidly becoming a clutching at straws exercise. Offers little aside from goals and hasn’t offered any of them in a dog’s age.
it would be nice if redknapp jnr would shut the f*ck up too,he said in the paper only sir modric can replace scholes at utd but my dad will want to keep him,no shit,levy needs to have a word or maybe the FA should give england to the redknapps and do us all a favour
The fact is when it comes to players we just don’t know
Gomes,i loved him thought he was great our keeper for years but he has messed it all up
Bent,didn’t like him,glad we kept defoe,now i wish we had bent up top and ship out all the others,should have kept him
defoe,thought he scored,boy i was wrong
So with people like rob green you never know,worth a shot,parker anyone lets give them a chance if they end up in harrys cart,you never know until its too late and if it doesn’t work out we can turn on them,ahh good times
regarding super BIG buys if they didn’t in jan they won’t now,we need to find some supa luka or berbatov type deals,get lucky basically
Genius… They could rebuild the bench at Wembley to get the whole family on, Louise as well… It’d be like the Nintendo Wii ad… Or the Simpsons meets The Only Way is Essex.
“Oi, Scotty, play 5 yards further forward… I can’t see the TV”.
yep,we could also have a reality tv type doco following them too
we might get to meet sandra then
Great story I heard about Louise once. A friend was doing a photo shoot with her and the photographer was trying to get her to be a bit Racy. Louise keeps turning him down saying ‘My Jamie wouldn’t like that’.
Story was that apparently, when Jamie hooked up with her, Robbie Fowler taped a load of pics of her in her undies from when she was in Eternal to the back of the toilet door in the Liverpool dressing room and the whole team took turns in using them for target practice.
Adds a whole new meaning to the band coming to a sticky end.
Allegedly, my lawyer adds.

How come suarez didn’t get sent off for the dawson kick,i thought thats what you got sent off for these days,you get sent off for good tackles but get away with that sort of latin shit,
Carroll is exactly who we should have bought though most players are over priced but he is exactly what we were looking for,whether it would have worked out who knows,
surely there must be a big strong lad who can play footy in north london somewhere,what the hell do our youth people do ffs
Wickham, Ipswich, only 18 though and needs a bit of time yet. Great prospect though.
people seem to rate him,surely someone will buy him this summer if he is any good
Seen him play a few times now and he’s unpolished but he certainly has everything to be as good as Caroll – Seems a good lad as well. Turns up at left back, wing, centre-mid and then heads in his own crosses… That kind of player.
howard webb bottled it he gave a yellow when it should have been red,pwobly thought it was too early in the game. but kicking a player is a straight red or actual assult no?
Interesting info I have received tonight from wet spam end of season do.
A fan approached Demba Ba for an autograph. Ba said he was too tired to sign. Fan got angry, turning tables over & ruck ensues.
I’m sure there will be more to follow.
trouble t tut ironworks
pikeys annual punchup soiree in the west end
the horse troughs were reopened in park lane and hyde park for the occasion
I THINK THAT THIS SEASON HAS PROVEN THAT WE SHOULD SELL ALL OUR STRIKERS AND PLAY ALL OUR MIDFIELDERS.
i wonder if harry will sell all the strikers,pav and keane are gone i’d say but he seeems to like crouch & defoe
I blame Harry Redknapp for this appalling victory.
He has to go.
Jol, Ramos, Hoddle, Graham and Pleat would never have allowed us to play so well at Anfield.
It’s a bloomin liberty
