"You're sh*t...and you know you are"

[Maldini]

That was meant for Pennant wasn't it? Whoever sung it should get banned.

First, force him to actually eat s***. Then ban him.

[Maldini]

It sounded like a hell of a lot more than one person singing it on the telly. It's as bad or worse than when Danny Murphy got booed in my opinion.

[JRC]

It was the PSV fans singing, bizarrely

they know a s*** player when they see one those dutch fans

Seriously? That is bizarre

[Guest Portly]

The PSV fans showed an impressive command of English football songs. They also sang "you only sing when you're winning" and "your support is f***in' s***!"

 

Pennant seems to have assumed the role of whipping boy at Anfield, he was getting abuse from all over the place, particularly two Irish guys behind us who started barracking him as soon as he got the ball, before he even had a chance to do anything wrong. So much so, that a Scouser nearby suggested they go and support Linfield.

 

I thought Pennant had a pretty good game considering how heavily marked he was.

Yeah, I thought he was a threat in the first half, he suffered a bit in the second, but overall it was a good performance from him. Maybe the slower European pace suits him as his best games for us so far have all been in Europe.

Harsh on Pennant I feel.

[Guest BrianF]

Why would you think the PSV fans were singing it to Pennant?

[jon_hall]

Pennant needs to learn to take on the defenders and beat them. Lacking in confidence completely, not even the same player who plated for the brummies.

[Jarg Armani]

hahaha it certainly was the PSV fans, couldn't you tell by their euro techno remix style, and shexshy accshents?

[Guest Portly]

There were plenty of them, and they were pretty dedicated with the singing. They started a song that involved that continental scarf-twirling. During the course of this song, Gerrard stuck the ball in the net, but they didn't even pause in their singing and carried on regardless.

 

Big police presence outside the ground tonight, but I didn't see any sign of trouble.

He beat three men and got to the byline by some jinky legged miracle in the first half. Played well, but I agree with the confidence thing and we all have a duty in resolving that as fans. As a poster says above - he's the whipping boy at the mo.

 

We all wet ourselves when we sign a 'lifelong fan' and think that is enough to do the job. However, will the fan thing eat them up more than if they were a career player with a job to do?

 

Anyway, is it a coincidence that every ball he plays is always to the back stick? Especially with crouchy and dirk playing...

[Maldini]

I'd say he'll get a good run in the team now, that's probably what he needs.

[Guest Sabre]

Rafa likes crosses to the back post and when they go wrong they look terrible but he wants it to the back post for a header back across goal which puts the defence on the wrong foot for an easy tap in.

[uppsala]

PSV sung Your Sh** and you know you are.

 

And I'de swear they were singing "who are ya" in the first half.

[honourablegeorge]

I've been very critical of Pennant, but I thought he started to show signs last night.

 

Typical of our luck, now he's inured.

[Guest PaulMcC]

I didn't think he had a good game.

The Arkles was closed, but a chink of light behind the curtains suggested that something might have been going on inside!

Yeah,I heard the choppers going round for ages.

Do you think the lads in the Arkles saw me coming?
