WAAAHHHH what a complete travesty. 2-0!!! And it wasn't to Liverpool! I should like stop watching their games..

When I saw the lineup, I was half expecting Benitez to play Crouch-Morientes, Garcia-Hamann-Alonso-Cisse, Riise-Carra-Hyypia-Josemi. Imagine my utmost horror when he leaves Crouch, Garcia and Hamann on the bench and played Kewell, Sissoko and Traore. AAARGH! It's not funny to keep tinkering with the strikeforce cos the midfield just cannot get a proper understanding of the partnership between the strikers! This proved so as even when Cisse moved up front and Kewell went to the right. Despite the fact that I trust Rafa's faith in Kewell, he just cannot cannot cannot play right-mid. He's left footed for heaven's sake. Oh and I have no idea why Garcia was on the bench cos when he was introduced in the 60th minute or so the game immediately came to life.

Sure there were many bright sparks. I remember seeing the statistics flash as 13 shots on goal compared to Fulham's 4. It's not that they're not creative. They lack a clinical finisher, which was supposed to come in the form of El Moro but he's not getting enough support, especially since Benitez loves playing 4-5-1. It's driving me crazy, and when I saw Collins John's goal in the 30th minute I wanted to die. Where was the marking? What was Traore doing? He had his back towards the free man and only realised his folly when the ball was clipped over like 4 redshirts to hit John. Traore cannot be first choice left back. He's just not good enough. Play Warnock or Riise if they have to, but not Traore.

It was really a night of frustration and lots of sofa-slapping, watching them miss a slew of amazing opportunities really killed me. I should lay off their matches for a while now. It's getting very very wasteoftime.
