come on guys, lets not attack each other. We are all :censored:

off with today's result and the season in general. Its not going well, but thats life.

Our goal now is a top 4 finish and at least we've got one quality player coming in. Juding Aqulani after 3 games isn't fair. For sure Rafa is to blame for signing an injured player, but its not the player's fault.

It has to be said that he has not impressed me very much since he started playing - but to be fair he is playing in a struggling team at the moment.
The players around him are lacking confidence and that is bound to have an effect.
But maybe we should expect more for £ 20 million ...........

how much is Gerrard and Torres worth? they haven't impressed much either.

I'm not saying he's going to be the next Alonso, but turning him into the new whipping boy isn't fair

We shouldnt expect too mush is what Im saying

He was/is supposed to be a big part of the 'turner the corner' equation, that's probably why I was expecting more, earlier. Especially against Wolves/Reading.

I wouldn't deem him a failure because I'd probably have to see him in 20+ league games before I could make any firm conclusions (though there are players sh!t enough to warrant much earlier calls, as we know). Surely you have to ask questions though.

I would ask the question about why he was put against two championship sides knowing how lesser teams play when he is clearly a ball player and a creative player and not a crunching ball winning give as good as you get player?

Aquilani played really well 2night. I thought he was our best player by a long way. Made loads of great long passes in the 2nd half and was Alonso esc for us. When along side Mascherano, who can actually defend, then he'l be a massive threat and asset.

With Lucas who cant defend it brough Aquilani into question defensively.

Questions were asked long ago before you were able to get your head around things during your time as 'devils advocate' and people were abused for raising their questions.

Let's not be going down this road fellas. Old flame wars do not need rekindling no matter how frustrated we're all feeling.

Fair enough Bob, but its a valid statement never the less.

He has to acquaint himself with the English game at some point. What better game(s) than Reading, a team we should well be expected to beat? He got more time and space tonight than he'll get against most Prem oposition.

I disagree.
Championship teams like Wolves and Reading play rough and tumble and are very physical. Thats the nature of that league. Some sides in the Prem actually let you play football. Thats where he could get acquainted
