I thought the game showed our lack of firepower up front - Ngog and even Babel offered little threat up front. This was supposed to be Babel's break out season WTF!!
Agger should have had a set piece hat trick, sigh, not our day, but lucky to get a point. Let's hammer WBA Saturday!

haizzz ... i tot it was gonna b 1 of those frustrating nites again ... which Pool played quite well, but failed to finish off d opponent ... n have to end up with no pts.
to be fair, AMD was quite superb - they defended in numbers, snuffed out Pool's attacks effectively ... their counter attacks were dangerous too.
im a Pool fan but i tot d penalty was harsh. really surprised when ref awarded. thk mayb ref pressured cos earlier on failed to award penalty for AMD handball? aiya heck lah, this season Pool seem to have some luck .. was so relieved whn captain converted ... imagine how dam very stressful it was ... in front of a huge home crowd, n probly his kick was goin to b d last 1 in d game ... if he missed, then game over liao. but he didnt disappoint.
as for tis wkend's game agt WBA, Pool has a tendency to play badly after an midwk Euro game ... hope it wont happen. we need Torres v badly. Pool is playing their possessive football again ... lotsa gd passing BUT our poor finishing failed to kill off our opponents. Gerrard aint havin his best scoring form this season ... Mash is def midfielder n doesnt score many ... Alonso, i like him but he's more of a playmaker n doesnt venture in d last 3rd of d field too much ... Torres injured ... Kuyt is industrious but his scoring is inconsistent ... Keane .. need i say more???
