Barney 0 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Maniche was the rat guy I was thinking of. Back to the match though, Carrol really looks like he has a chance of making it. N'Zogbia was quality in the centre and Dyer looked excellent, as did Given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 133 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Chuffing typical, just got home, sat my arse in the chair to watch the match from SKY+ and the recording ended about 20 seconds before kick off !!!11!! Its repeated at 10pm but its not the point, drove the final 3 hours with the sodding radio turned off so not to hear the score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Toon 0 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I enjoyed the match. i think we look like we are strting to moved some thing with the defence we need a left back but for the first time in a long time we a playing with a plan. it may take a while but I think we are moving forward and I am looking forward to this season alot more than the last 4 or 5.

Asprilla 96 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Just got back too...first half I thought our shape was excellent. Nobby and Milner out wide and Geremi/N'zogbia had a nice balance to it. Zog looks at home in the middle and Geremi seems to have fitted in very quickly, linking up with almost everything. Rozenhal was taller than I thought he'd be and more imposing. Carr was almost decent and we looked comfortable at the back. Juventus were obviously far from firing on all cylinders but it was nice to see Luque get a goal and he got a very warm reaction when he scored. Carrol looks full of potential and took his goal well, Milner had a good game too. Nedved was their best player, still very classy and looked the biggest threat for them. Second half was like a Sven friendly... I don't think we'd get away with Zog AND Dyer in the middle in the league. Solano also seemd to be pushing inside more which wasn't so good. I thought Edgar was pick of the young lads in defence. Some twat played up in the second half behind Given and it took half a dozen coppers to get him out of there. Everyone was giving him the wanker sign and taken pics of him with their phones as they dragged him off. £15 well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bawan 0 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Was a good match even though Juve were shit, zoggy played well in the center. Carrol did look a decent player but what pisses me of about him hes 6ft 4 and most of the time he cant win headers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't any fouls given against him. He made his presence known like Shearer used to. Was solid, but just didn't really have that support in the 2nd half despite winning every ball.

A defender would be making it a hell of a lot more obvious the other way around. Shearer got away with it the majority of time as did Carroll tonight. I think it's good to see a player committed to winning the ball, especially up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boyo 23 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 ....Have to say Nobby Solano was once again a class act today. Some of his touches and flicks were second to none as well as helping out at the back. Could be a big player for us again this season and you can only appreciate the commitment he shows every time he plays in black 'n' white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay 8 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 What I was impressed with was that Luque was telling Martins where to stand and make runs to, as said Martins does not seem to have the best footballing brain and I think we will see a lot more from him with someone else up top. Gutted Del Boy never made it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
