Bale 4? But excessive, certainly wasn't any worse than Walker, or Saha. Not a great performance obviously, but not going to get depressed about it. This happens all the time in the cup.

To be fair, i don't think the pitch suited us at all, and the fact we are still in the hat is the most important thing.
 
Thought Saha was ridiculously lazy. Didn't chase or hustle up front at all. At one point the ball bounded up in the air for maybe 5 seconds, he stood and watched it as it fell to a Stevenage player to clear
 
Cudicini 6

Kaboul 5
Rose 7

Lennon should have started. Rose was our best player lol! :ross: Not a great peformance but i'll take it. I don't give a brick if other fans laugh, were still in the competition. Nelsen did well I thought. Can Dawson do anything other than hoof it?
 
Cudicini 6

Dawson 5 - the long diagonals do my head in
Nelsen 6
Kaboul 6

Walker 5
Livermore 5
Parker 5
Rose 6.5

Bale 6

Defoe 4
Saha 4

Kranjcar 6
Lennon 7
Harry 4 - silly lineup
Pitch -2 - difficult to play football when the ball is bouncing up around the player's knees all the time
 
I thought Livermore did OK.

I keep thinking, Liverpool paid how much for Henderson when Livermore plays. :evil:

Todays game was not won because of the lack of movement of the two up front and how narrow Bale makes the games when he isn't wide.

The whole point of him coming in was EPL defenders who are very good tripled him... he was up against League 1 defenders today.
 
Lennon and Kranjcar show different class when they are brought on.
Lennon dangerous every time he has the ball, while Niko is first Spurs player able to do anything with the ball on the ground.
Rose had his moments.

Dont agree that Livermore played well, he joins the list of underperforming players in this game:
Cudicini, Walker, Dawson, Parker, Bale, Defoe
 
Cudicini 5
Dawson 4

whats with all the dawson hating?. he won everything in the air against an aerial onslaught, particularly in the 1st half. he takes a lot of flak for his distribution but a lot of this should be put down to the stevenage players working their socks off and closing him down. i would much prefer he hits it long than try intricate passes in his own half and concede possession. its all about decision making,sometimes he has no choice other than to hit it long, i am sure he would much prefer to play pretty passing patterns but that is not always the right choice. all in my opinion of course.
