This is one of those games where defensively - 8 and attacking 4

I cant rate players i can only rate our play.

Parker was 9 though. People may say he isnt great going forward but we brought him for games like this. Backs against the wall. that 5m spent has got us a point today I think.


i honestly think King and Dawson were more vital to our result today
 
Adebayor struggled a bit but he didnt get any support/service tonight.

He'll be back on form soon, fantastic footballer.

If he could actually pass forward and relieve pressure off the defence we wouldn't have had a backs to the wall game. SO many bad passes forward or easy passes backwards than Jenas would have been slaughtered for; Livermore who is criminally underrated as a footballer was much more composed than him and contributed in a positive fashion. Parker only played well in the last ten minutes when he did what anyone would have done and what Daws does when he plays, which is put his body on the line. Yet Daws gets lots of criticism and Parker is deemed immune to it.
 
One on one defensively I thought both our full backs did very well (not that they were up against much), but the rest of their game was absolute toilet. Keeper and both centre halves were fantastic, Parker was man of the match. Modric played very well, and Kranky worked hard and defended well. Bale was poor. Livermore clearly out of his depth. Ade was poor, but it was really noticable the moment he went off we didn't hold fudge all up top (even though I didn't think Saha did that bad when he came on, he just isn't a lone striker).


I agree with all of that except the Livermore comment. I, and most of the commentary team, thought he did very well, and is continually improving. Sure, he didn't put in a noticeable, MoM performance, but was solid and reliable, with very few mistakes.

Livermore was great in the first half and was quite quiet in the second. certainly was not shown as out of his depth by any stretch
 
I absolutely agree with hotspurgirl - Ade hasnt been at the races for the last few games. Not leading the line like he did earlier in the season. Not even competing for some balls in the air. Hold up play was worse than Pav today - and that is saying something! Needs a hairdryer from Harry or else we start with Saha next time.
 
NO. Torres can complain about no service. With Bale, Modric, Parker etc Adebayor has plenty service. Is it true he's on ?ú200k per week?

Did you watch the game? I assume not, because he really did not get the ball passed into his feet very often.

This.
 
Friedel- 8 Good experienced keeping what you would expect
Walker- 7 defended well, attacking not so much
King- 8 Imperial
Dawson- 8 Colossal
Ekotto- 6 not a bad game but not a good game

Parker- 6- Extremely brave put his body on the line, but not on the same level as other players when it came to actually playing football. Time and time again he put team mates under pressure. Some good blocks, but some awful clearances and decision making when he had time on the ball in our box to clear it or find a man

Livermore- 8 challenged well not phased, kept his composure and one of the only players to keep possession well.

Kranjcar- 6.5 worked hard in defence nothing came off in attack.
Modric- 7 - industrious but should have taken more risks int he second hald
Bale- 6 - Didn't work as hard but liverpool had 3 men on him at all times and were very rough.

Ade- 5 - off his game today, not good with back to goal

Saha - n/a - at least he turned up which is more than what Pav has done recently.
Rose - n/a

:ross::ross:

I read your reply about Parker's bravery in the OOMT as well.

Are you ill? (Rearrange to suit)

I think Bale was worse than Ade today

Who can remember one thing that Ade did well today? Bale was fully involved and even though it wasnt one of his best games he had three strikes on goal and was surrounded by three Liverpool thugs at all times. Remember it was his brilliant run to beat the offside trap in the first place which created the chance for himself.
