meetdoscar 335 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 You know wat let's just blame it on torres. After all we all fail to see we are in transition and played against a well formed team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRiver 1,512 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 He only knows how to run and run and run. No good passes, No Good Decisions. Just no Brain.Really? Did you not see when he ran for about 60 yards and took the ball from Quagliarella (I think it was)? He was excellent, won so many balls and was really strong defensively. Saying he has no brain and he just runs is really harsh. He's a really hard worker and deserves credit for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Drog 1,110 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Disgraceful. Yes you can say that we are going through a transition period but we've just splashed close to 100 million in the Summer and we have a 50 million pound striker sitting on the bench. This wasn't a result that materialised over the course of 90 minutes in Turin this result can be traced back to the Summer. Most unbiased observers could see that we were light up front, we were banking a huge amount on Torres to come good, it hasn't happened and tonight was the conclussion of that particularly painful experiment. You can't say that Roberto Di Matteo is at fault for the prolonging of the Torres experiment, Abramovich had splashed 50 million pounds on the Spaniard, he wanted value for money. My issue with Di Matteo is that he and his team have been working with Torres now for close to 2 years, they see him on a daily basis in training, they see the same matches we do, anyone can spot that he hasn't been up to it on a consistent basis in a very long time, this is where a top manager with a strong personality, like Guardiola or Mourinho, would have spoken up in the Summer. Perhaps Di Matteo had reservations about Torres but he seemingly applied no pressure on Abramovich, Gourlay or anyone else to seek out a top striker in the Summer, even Mancini at City went public with his disappointment at not being able to sign Van Persie, in comparison our manager was reduced to a yes man. Then we arrive in Turin, the 50 million pound man is worthless, the other striker is injured and not proven at the top level to begin with and we are left playing 5 foot 7 Eden Hazard upfront. The standard is set high by the top clubs in the world, at no other top club would this have happened. The pressure on Di Matteo is almost now at breaking point, no win in 4 games in the Premier League and pretty much out at the group stage of the Champions League, not good enough for a top club, let alone the European Champions.

Las7 951 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Donetsk need a win or draw for first place I doubt they will play reserves but if the result is a draw by the 60th minute I expect both teams to not be too fussed about scoring.

Can see Robbie getting sacked if we don't get out of this slump or qualify for the last 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 You are forgetting that Shaktar are already through. Do u think they will line up with their strongest team? And Juventus will play for their life.obviously they will. they would like to top the group. incentive is definitely there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,312 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Didnt deserve to lose 3 -0 and was always going to be hard in that cauldron.Always going to miss Drogba and there is no spine -a fit Essien, Terry, Lampard and there is no one in charge on the pitch.That needs to be sorted, and if we're not going for physical prowess then an assassin to gel with Mata, Hazard, Oscar trio along the lines of Falcao, Berbatov, Chicarito.type player is needed.Kalou would have been good tonight.... oh well the Ropey League final is in ....Amsterdam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Di Matteo must take responsibility, he took a risk he thought would work. It didn't, but he doesn't deserve to be sacked.. Only time will tell if that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meetdoscar 335 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 On a positive note Europa league is a perfect platform for a team in transition to transcend. Ideal competition for us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddish-Blue 2,504 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I think we played well, I think your tactics were wrong. The tempo was exactly how we wanted itYour midfield is awesome. Just the quality of Vidal, Marchisio, Asamoah..linking up with the two diminutive strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manco 38 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Can someone tell me WTF was that starting lineup and Whyyyyyyyy RDM thinks he invented football?You want to try a new and ridiculous lineup? Try it in the capital one cup or against some weak team...Not in the most important match of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is - we all know that Di Matteo was only kept due to our CL and FA Cup win, I don't think he had any say in transfers and who was loaned out.I think we should give him support and backing till the end of the season provided we keep up with the League Leaders - the next few matches are key for RDM.

TheCount 146 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 You are forgetting that Shaktar are already through. Do u think they will line up with their strongest team? And Juventus will play for their life.They need at least a draw tho to guarantee top spot and an easier game, might be our saving grace,Other then that the 3 ejits should of finished of the game on the break, we need a plan B like i always said, when the finesse dosent work put on the physical, team has no leaders either, and why dont they ever play wide. All they have to do is play like they did at the UTD game and we'd beat anyone, so stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
