Keef Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 No, in my opinion. That said, we gave away a clear penalty, but if we hadn't, we probably would've won it, so not sure what to think. If we want to stay in it though, improvement is needed from all involved.

matthew123 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Yes I went, as did Anna and Keef, and a few friends. We were sitting on the sofa right next to the door. Where were you sat?I was caught out with the promotional offer as well when I ordered my second pint - although when I went yesterday I was still paying the promotional price after 8pm... but the Becks was good.

Sharon_H Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 We were by the fire near the pool table, just the 2 of us until half time then a couple of mates turned up.I thought I recognised Keef from the photos of the Wishing Well drinks when he was singing.

All this because Le Boss refuses to see what everyone can see, that is that the squad need to be added to.

mockney piers Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Wow, it's not often you see West Ham win a game entirely unruffled, without subjecting themselves to pressure.Could have been 8-0, and Liverpool, if you're looking to dump your 'dead wood' we'll have Yossi back any day of the week.

Sandperson Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 So what is Benitez alluding to with his comments on last nights game?"I am disappointed with a number of things but no, the Wigan approach I will not talk about them," he added. "It has happened in the last three games. They have something in common I don't like. I know why but I cannot say anything." Is he just saying teams are too physical for the Liverpool team?

Keef Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 He's turning in to Wenger. I hate managers making excuses, especially about the other team. Just manage your team, and win a bloody game for the love of God!

Sandperson Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I've just listened to the MotD interview in full with Rafa and I really don't get it. So he takes off Torres and Gerrard because 'they were tired' and the team counldn't win the game because every time they had the ball they were tackled? I think one of those kidney stones has got into his blodd stream and lodged in his head. :)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5028-on-the-ball-new-football-focus/page/3/#findComment-162867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mockney piers Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'm still yet to be concinced by CC, but his work rate was excellent, he was linking up much much better and he's definitely improving, though in all fairness even I could have scored that one.Yeah Keef, I heard rafa on the radio this morning and you are basically echoing my thoughts verbatim there...uncanny!!And wasn't it RC!!

Jah Lush Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Is it just me but I thought Torres was rubbish last night. He's not been the same player as he was last season. His first touch was poor. He hasn't got into any sort of rhythm this season and I suppose that could be down to persistant hamstring injuries.As for Rafa's comments on him and Gerrard being tired, what a load of bollocks. Why take off your best players when you need to win a match and in Gerrard they have a match winner. He could have taken off Babel or Lucas and put on Robbie Keane to play just behind Torres up front and Gerrard could have moved back into midfield.I think Benitez is too cautious. If you want to win games you have to be more positive and his selections and his substitutions are too negative.Sorry you Liverpool fans but I really can't see anyone else but Man Utd winning the Premiership this year. They are playing the most positive attacking football and deserve to be where they are and I can't see anyone catching them. Chelsea aren't good enough at home and it will be between them and Liverpool for the runners-up spot.As for Arsenal they need to buy players. This Arshavin deal is taking too long and they need new players at the back, and a dominent midfield destroyer. UEFA Cup football for them next season as I think Aston Villa will pip them for fourth spot.I'm hoping Spurs will continue to improve after a very good performance on Tuesday night but I can't see us getting any further than 7th or 8th this season but West Ham will also improve and have started to play good stuff and are scoring goals again. Zola's magic appears to be working and they look like they are growing in confidence. I hope they stuff the Arse at the weekend.
