Well, well, well. Surprising team selection but sadly, not a surprising performance. We've been turning out dross like this since Xmas and it shows no signs of letting up. No shots on target in a second half when we're chasing the game?? Mental. Basically our team boils down to the fact that if Defoe doesn't score noone does. Half of the fancy dans think they just turn up and the magic happens, inflated self-confidence filling up the space in their head where brains should sit.
Very, very dissappointing. I feel like elbow dropping Mick Mcarthy from the top rope.
Gomes - 7 - no chance with the goal. Again, had little to do.
Kaboul - 7 - Played fine. Nothing better that Charlie Chalk would have done.
Bale - 8 MOM - again our only outlet. Our only player with pace. Our only player looking like he gives a shit.
Dawson/Bassong - 6 Average
Bentley - 4 - Very poor. Wrong decision making, dawdled on the ball, deleivery was turgid. if he's not crossing decent balls then he is a £15 million pound weight around our teams neck.
Niko - 4 - Terrible. Blew our only good chance with a crap finish. Softer than a jelly baby.
Hudd - 5 - Anonymous from our playmaking extraordiaire. Again failed to unlock any doors or manage to hit one fucking shot on target. Wow, they say, what a great ball striker he is. Doesn't really matter when he smashes every bloody shot miles high/wide(take your pick)
Jenas - 3 - I am angry with this kid. Seriously angry. If he doesn't want to play he can fuck off. That was a pitiful shift he put. Not for the first time either recently. I've long stood up for JJ but my patience is wearing thinner than Eidur's barnet.
Defoe - 4 - Nothing all game. When he doesn't get service he's pretty much a nice ornament up front. Our only player who scores, didn't score.
Eidur - 6 - First game. Nice little jog around for our Icelandic bombshell. Totally the wrong game to blood him in.
Crocuh - 6 - Should have started. These games are what having Crouch is all about.
Wilson - 7 - Thankfully came on and actually gave us a visible presence in CM. The toy soldiers Hudd/JJ were vacant.
Modders - 4 - Did fuck all.
Harry - 0 - Team selection I can just about let him live for, but the complete lack of an ability to motivate this team is shocking. Half time hairdryer needs to be plugged in.
