Kuyt i like him as a player.. though just put the ball in the net mate its not hard. The Goals and grass in England are the same as everywhere else.

Can I just point out I am not related to or associated with this Leon fella despite the similarity of our usernames.

The hardest thing in football is to score goals.

The difference between the leages of Holland and England is MASSIVE

i think he is referring to putting chances away, sure creating chances is different but the goals are the same size and when you have a chance you have a chance, that doesnt change wherever you are in the world. the goal doesnt suddenly move 3 foot to the left after you have shot

ye thats what i meant.. the Goals are the same size... 5yards out Just put the ball in..

Momo (take his name out of the song)

ohhh oh oh-oh we've got the best midfield in the world
we've got xabi alonso, lucas leiva (lay-ee-va), gerrard and mascherano-ohh 

[RUSHIE#9]

Having just seen the highlights meself I am gonna continue banging the Kuyt ain't good enough drum.

The break where all he had to do was roll the ball across the box for the on coming Gerrard but ended up escorting the ball into Friedels hands was downright disgraceful.

The chance that fell to him after Kewell had pressured the Blackpool    clearance and ended up firing the ball down the road to Preston was shocking and quite frankly proves that the Dutch league is nothing more than a televised pub league. 

In contrast looking at Crouch's contribution in 20 odd minutes shows just how big a mistake Rafa is making by over looking him for that Dutch clog.

What bothers me more going on the reports on here from people who've seen the whole game is the fact that we didn't start pressing til the last 15-20 minutes. This has become a trend with us in the last few weeks and not a good one. I don't know whether Rafa is setting us up like this hoping to nick a late winner having kept it tight for the previous 70 minutes. This is no way to win football matches especially with some of the talent we've got in the squad.

Attacking wise I am really starting to have major doubts about Rafa's ability to pick out a quality striker in the transfer market and set up a team with a strong attacking ethic.
I've stated many times before on here that in his time at Valencia he may have won the la liga title twice but with some of the lowest goals for totals that the league has seen. For this reason alone I'm of the opinion that we need to see someone (either assistant manager or specialised coach) brought in to bring more of a cutting edge to our front line.

So you think he means that it is not easier to score goals in Holland than it is in England ?

Mentioned it before and so why break a trend? Dalglish would be perfect. It wouldnt have to be a full time doo dah so he would still get to do whatever it is he likes to do and he would demand the respect of everybody by just his mere presence.

Should have done better, but I was more dissapointed that Gerrard was the only one we had in the box.

Did you post this in the wrong thread or what ?

No it was in response to Rushies assistant manager or attacking coach, just forgot to quote it above my reply !

rafa is more of a conservative manager than an attacking
one, he'd much rather his teams grind out 1-0 results
instead of playing fancy football and winning 4-0.
work ethic is a major plus for him and he'd sooner
have a team full of Kuyt's than a team full of Fabregas'.

he has made some blunders on the strike force,
morientes, Bellamy, Kuyt and Voronin. but credit
where credit is due, he has signed arguably one
of spain's finest and to be fair, crouch has proved
to be an excellent, piece of business.

we are just going to have to accept that rafa,
seems to disapprove of individuality, creative freedom and attacking
football that the likes of arsenal and barcelona play.
which is why he'll always sign the Kuyt's and
voronin's of this world, because they suit his lifeless system.

ultimately, this valencia played amazing football, is not true at
all, everytime i watched Valencia play under Benitez,
they were rather defensive and got their teams on the break. which hey presto, is happening here, but to a lesser effect.

those who believe rafa will change us into a full throttle attacking unit, are living in a dream,
he is barely contrasting to houllier in terms of how his team play.
and i doubt rafa will hire an assistant manager to take care of any aspect of the team area, rafa is a dictator,
he wants complete control over literally everything to do with the day to day running of the club.

and as i have said before, we could sign Kaka and Eto'o
but that still wouldn't make a blind bit of difference
the problems
we have in attack are down to rafa's system
and rafa's personal like for that sunday league
player kuyt.

he means the goals are the same size wherever you play and its just as easy to finish in england as it is in holland. don't be pedantic, it suits you too much

why do all your posts look like poems, sort it out mate 

[KOPMATT]

Can't believe we just drew that game? We were so on top IMO,

maybe you just saw the last 15 minutes

I disagree there ok we didn't dominate the whole game but thought we had by far the better of the chances and their keeper worked far harder than ours did for 90 minutes.
So are you saying we were for 75mins and only good for 15mins?

yea mate thats what i am saying, as for our keeper not working, yeah thats right he never got anywhere near the two shots that hit the woodwork.

the fact is we only started to play at the end when we got desperate, one attempt we had in the first half. ONE. yet you think we dominated the game     

come on get real

I already said we didn't dominate the game but \I thought we deserved to win it.
