match reaction v citeh

[Slacker]

Rosicky was lucky to stay on but it swings in roundabouts, in the 1st game people blamed decisions going against us for the loss, in the one we had some favourable decisions, that's what happens in football.

1st game they were the better team, in this game we edged it but a draw was probably fair enough in the end.

Silva was lucky to stay on but we had no chance with that cnt Dean as referee. Surprised he didn't send off Tommy.

Need to wrap up 4th place trophy soon.

Yeah the tough runs of games in December and February/March were a disaster, ultimately that's where we lost it, in those runs of games against the big boys.

Yep. Our form against the top half sides in general has been the undoing, a shame really after how we were dispatching many of the weaker sides which gave us such a great platform. The doubters were right in fairness but fuck it, hopefully we can at least put the no trophies line to bed this season.

Yes. I presume you thought we'd get less points from it than we actually did.

I think the death run lived up to its name, as it normally does with us.

Completely killed our confidence, and killed us as any sort of force to be reckoned with.

If you are looking solely at points, then we have done ok. You would have expected us to beat Man Utd at home though??

Yeah and I would have thought we wouldn't win at WHL given we hadn't done so for a considerable time. I think being five point behind Chelsea with just Everton to go is not bad, even though we didn't actually win many games in that time.

I'll give you that one at WHL, that was sweet.

Though this is what our expectations have come to, before the death run we are firmly in the title race, after the death run we are out of the title race our confidence has been shot to bits but apparently we have done ok?? This is why I disagree, but lets see what we dish up vs Everton.

We shared the spoils in the first half, their fluked effort separated the teams. Dean bottled the big decision of the match by refusing to send Silva off for a nasty studs up lunge. Second half we took them to the cleaners, pocketed Toure, hassled Silva until he quit and hid, made that so-called player of the year bloke they have in midfield look like a pubber. Dzeko and the hyped Negredo were kept quiet without much fuss. Sagna, Cazorla, Rosicky and Flamini all stepped up in the second half to boss proceedings. With a better striker (or indeed a striker) up top we might have bagged a nice haul against a defence that was comical at times. I expect Liverpool to blow these gypos away given they have in abundance what we lack up top, the pace and the firepower. Which was our only real negative. Giroud was worthless. Sanogo immediately started winning challenges as soon as he came on. Bif is already on holiday and shouldn't be played again. Shame it wasn't a deserved 3 points but certainly a good enough result to steady the ship.

Also, heavily biased Sky commentators were awful.

More of this required for the remainder:

[Injury Time]

Wasn't expected to come home frustrated that we didn't win. Officials were shit, linesman North Bank End looked at Dean every fucking time before moving his flag, and Dean gonna Dean trying to nullify Rosicky.
Rosicky just awesome, Pod was trying forward and back , Verm has been rebooted to a resemblance of his good form of old, Merts has been on the go forward pills, Gibbs is definitely improving just little bit improvement final ball plz, Santi was fired up I hope they show his mugging of 3 of their midfielders reminded me Pires mugging Vieira in chumps league. Giroud was dogshit, that sort of slimy smelly dogshit that is so bad if it got in your car you'd have to set fire to the fucker to get rid of the smell what took long with the subs I don't know, we were flagging and really needed a lift. Did I mention Giroud was shit?
We need a striker.
