Dunno if this was raised elsewhere in the thread but there was a more than a suspicion of handball with the clearance that went to Torres. barca stopped playing and boom
That's it, no more league football for this season. Sucker punch of a season. To start off with that Coates goal and descend into that. Suarez should have stayed on as well, he pushes opposition onto their heels.
*ding ding ding* Robbie Fowler to the training ground. At the moment, we could do worse than playing RF and asking him to do nothing but goal hang ten yards from the D.
The back post floater did my head in. Just get Charlie Adam and Bellamy to whang them into the 6 yard box at pace. Something will go in. Also, Gerrard sdould always be in or just outside the box, never taking corners.
Toned down the excess whining as well, which is a good strategy. The ball just wouldn't stick for him today, hope he sorts his timing out for Arsenal. His little byline wriggles still gave their defenders a torrid time, though.
Given yesterday's virtuoso displays by Bale and Kenny Miller, it would be nice to keep a tally of homegrown Olympic standard performers. Anyone else catch your eye?
