I started this at the 37th minute of the game. I really needed it. Had not seen such a performance in a long time. Pardon the lingo, but we’d till then looked a bunch of lazy, under-motivated fucks. Either that, or it was the worst case of the chokes in Champions League semi-final history. Absolutely unforgivable. Over-matched in all areas, and even after 37 minutes, we could’ve been 3 or 4 down, if not for the heroics of Almunia. I would've been ashamed even if this was a Championship team.
It was a case of all the wrong players (e.g. Silvestre, Diaby, Song), playing in all the wrong positions, and clearly in the wrong team. Lazy arse #1: Diaby. Incompetent arse #1: Song. Lazy arse #2: Adebayor. For god’s sake. Invisible man: Theo, whom the team could not find if their life depended on it.
At half-time, and I am at a loss for words. I am ashamed to be associated with such a display. Lacking in any pride, desire, competence or even interest in the game. Pathetic. At 1-0, we should count our lucky stars. It could’ve and should’ve been more embarrassing. Not sure what Arsene’s going to do at half-time, but he may just need 10 new players. If we can just keep it to 1-0, I think he would’ve done something.
The main problems as I see it are: (a) Diaby and Song. Useless as help for a sad defence, worse as creative/attacking options. A waste of two players; (b) Ade’s complete isolation, and laziness; (c) Silvestre. All in all, what we have now is what could’ve happened at Anfield minus Arshavin, his four goals and Pool’s crap defence; i.e. pray we don’t get whipped 4-0.
More later? I wouldn't count on it. I may be lying in a pool of blood with slit wrists.
