I thought Llorente did well, held up the ball and didn't let himself get isolated up front like Pav.

We look like a bunch of complete strangers atm. Poor

Chicken - Oh , i thought Llorente look quite impressive really without even having a shot, held up the ball VERY impressively and linked up with those around him

Yeh Llorente seemed to have pretty good distribution

S.Mouse,

I thought Llorente did well

=======================

Really?

If Crouch played like he has he would get slaughtered.

Squid - we've already swapped Pienaar for Modders, i'l go with:

Bale for Niko
Kab for Bassong
Crouch for Pav
Friedel for Gomes

Were looking pants, they better get it together by next week.

At least Ekotto is looking totally awesome.

Simple question - do you think Bilbao have better players than us? If not, why are they playing better football than us? Could it be that their manager/ coaching staff are better able to get the best out of their players?

No idea why we were playing a 4-5-1, if we cant score with 2 forwards how does Harry expect us to score with 1

Pav was completely isolated and had no chance of getting in behind the defense!

Harry will be thinking o the internationals and try to only give any player he thinks will play a full ninety only 45 today , I wouldn't be surprised if Modric is a late sub as well

Llorente didnt have a great half imo, if we had the ball they had we would expect more from pav or even crouch

do you think Bilbao have better players than us?

yes they probably do. they may lack the one or two special players that we have. but man for man today they have shown that they are better footballers.

very sound technically.

Don't care if Llorente plays bad today. Should still sign him.

Not sure about that Chronic, we just looked so flat as always, no motivation to try anything. We can boss games when we need to, just look at the game at Anfield last season, we dominated the ball

Liverpool are shy-te tho!

Crouch
Defoe
Friedel
Bale all on

I'm having my reservations about Llorente. Maybe he is good for his hold up play and his work ethic but in terms of his goalscoring I don't know if he'll elevate us to the next level. He is afterall a player in the same ilk as Crouch, if not more skillful. Would much rather Rossi.

Chronic - so, where would you place Bilbao in the Prem, based on the overall quality of players they have?

As well as Walker and Kaboul.

Spurtle - Rossi has always been my first choice, but we have no chance there

probably would push for a top 6 place.. the same as they did in la liga last season.

as i say, we have stars of exceptional quality that they dont... but man for man.. i dont think there is much debate as to who has the better set of technical footballers... maybe this half will change my mind...

No defensive mids?
