PNB Is John McClane: Ratings & Analysis

Image for PNB Is John McClane: Ratings & Analysis

Good morning

I can’t recall such an unrewarding game having so many grating facets to it. 

Kenny Dalglish has taken the siege mentality to new depths. He used to be tight lipped, frequently blunt. He’s deteriorated into an obtuse Magic 8 ball with an increasingly threadbare array of wannabe clever dick comments.

He’s not only allowed the victim culture of Merseyside to permeate the football club, he’s wearing it as a badge of honour. I’d be fascinated to know just who, outside of that city he’s impressing. The twit that was waiving a green laser pointer in Benny’s face probably thinks King Kenny rocks.

Mind you, I’d crack up if I was beginning to look like a fat Paul McCartney.

Suarez trailed his hand to catch PNB in the face and then deliberately kicked him in the gut. Yet again only the watching millions and not one of the match officials managed to spot this. 

Martin Tyler’s commentary on this wasn’t biased, it was straightforward bizarre. His reaction to this blatant assault was to scoff that Parker had only just made a ‘miraculous recovery’ in relation to a nasty go Charlie Adam had just  on him.

Ratings then.

 8 Self assured, brave in fact all the things you look for in a goal keeper. Or a Lollypop Lady in a particularly rough area.

 7 He defended far far better than I can recall. His forward moves amounted to zip but we hired him to defend. 

 7 Coped with Carroll and just about anything else they had in his stride. It was his kind of game.

 7 As ever he added an air of certainty to the back four. 

 6 Not an amazing performance. The lumping it up turns possession into 50/50 balls. If we could lose those kicks and the crappy throw ins/corners from our game, we’d be in clover.

 6 We seem to be getting a different player every time he plays. Last night he didn’t actually do cery much. I’m still unconvinced by him. My fear is he goes from being Dozzell 2.0 to being J**** 3.1 let’s jope not.’ 

 9 “Come out to the coast, we’ll get together, have a few laughs…” He ended up covered in cuts with Bugs Bunny’s footprint for an appendix scar.

 The FedEX of Spurs. Distributed like a mother. 

 6 You need to stop diving Gaz and  the left wing ought to be your default setting. Naff game all round.

 6 Appears to have rediscovered his mojo somewhat but this wasn’t a game he really made a mark upon. 

 6 He appears have two or three players constantly wrapped round him. Arry needs to shake up our tactic to include him more. Struggling.

 4 Word is he won lots of headers.

    The Tax Trial Jury only had three and three quarter hours to deliberate, i think the Judge directed that he would only accept a guilty verdict, so they`ve gone home to sleep on it and find him guilty in the morning.

  • Razspur says:

    Right the Sh*t has really hit the fan now, 300 million Chinese and they`re all over here opening restaurants, OK i can live with that. Why the F*ck when i order a Curry is there no Pwawn Cwackers ? This is ENGLAND and we want Cwackers. No pwoblem up to Xmas, now the recession bites and Cwackers must be ordered and paid for, that`s a F*cken liberty, F*cken fuming….Curry with Cwackers is as English as Pizza F****** W******.

    • emspurs says:

      as nonsensical at it is borderline racist….kenny d rubbing off raz? ;-)

      • Spurstacus says:

        You’re not suggesting Razzie has double standards? Fakinel make!

      • Billy Legit says:

        When did Curry become English?!?!

        If you don’t like it Raz, go back to cucumber sandwiches :sick:

        And while we’re on the subject, ‘300 million Chinese‘……..that’s what you get when you read the Daily M*il…..

        • Chrispurs says:

          You mean if you read ‘the Daily M*il’, 300 million Chinese come round your house, and cook you dinner?

        • Frontwheel 2 says:

          I generally agree with your lefty rants but don’t take offence when none was clearly intended :cop:

        • Billy Legit says:

          I don’t get offended, least of all by ‘righty’ rants, whether they were intended or not.

          Clearly the manner of an individuals tone is difficult to impress on a internet blog site.

          @Chrispurs – No, i didn’t mean that.

        • Billy Legit says:

          More importantly, what the f*ck has happened to my gravatar (again)?

          Now i’m offended :sideways:

        • melcyid says:

          as far as I know tony curry was always english.

        • Razspur says:

          I ain`t happy as i`ve been gettin` the Chinese there for 3 years, always pwawn cwackers now it`s been taken over by more Chinese and the rules change.
          Me racist, you`re talking through your arse em.

    Apparently Redknapp and Levy queried the fault with aircraft when it developed a fault.
    Redders asked
    “Wassamatter wiv it, I can ‘ear it whining?”
    The engineer replied “It’s dead as a dodo, the whining s coming from those Scousers sitting in the back!”

  • TMWNN says:

    Livermore kept it tidy, but didn’t offer much else. A bit like an early *****. If he gets to his third season without any significant improvement,he’ll also get the same treatment.

    Parker got stuck properly in; leader by example personified. When he gets further than the half way line though, you can almost hear him think what his next move will be.

    Modric sprinkled his occasional handful of magic.

    Kranjcar huffed and puffed, is obviously gifted, but I reckon he’s a luxury player.

    Which left Bale. Jack of all trades master of none on the night. Taking that chance would have changed everything, but the boy has weighed in with his his share.

    We need more midfielders who score goals.

    • melcyid says:

      or we need more goalscorers who can play midfield!at the moment I just want to see us score more goals than the oppo dont care anymore where the goals come from.

    • Spurstacus says:

      I sort of agree about Krank. Undoubtedly talented, but not nearly mobile enough. He didn’t play badly at all, but he’s certainly not 1st choice.
      With his sleeves pulled down over his hands, and general lack of urgency he reminds me of a teenager in a games lesson at school. I don’t dislike him but he’s not first choice for me.

  • Razspur says:

    Need to see Sandro, VDV, Defoe & Azza back for Saturday and most of all Kaboul. Can barely believe we have players out on loan who could have done a job last night.
