2nd last game of the season

2-0 at the baggies.job done. the performance,especially in the 1st half was not satisfying but the job's done.stevie scored probably one of the easiest goals he has ever scored. the baggies hv captivated the attention of lots of football supporters this season with their desire n effort to play good football unlike other teams on the lower end of the table. n its down to individual mistake from their centre back that led to gerrard's goal. well u cant hold on to the ball dat long n try to act fancy in ur own area when a player the likes of steven gerrard was breathing down ur neck. hence, the goal.

alonso changed the game as soon as he was put on the field. it wud be a mistake to sell him in the summer. rafa benitez knows better how the fan wud react should he try to sell alonso again. insua was quite disappointing in this game,so was arbeloa who has been consistent this season. then there was the clash between carra n arbeloa. carra has no right to stick arbeloa like that. he himself has done a fair share of mistakes n even own goals but the difference is no one dares to stick it up to him. what i dont like about this kind of situation is that i feel that our captain is very slow to react. 1st incidence: mascherano at old trafford. yes,he was 60 yards away but he could hv come to the scene a little quicker, couldnt he? n the 2nd time is this 'brawl' between arbeloa n carra. in both situation alonso is the one who calms both players down. i wish our captain fantastic could handle the situation better next time.

torres...errr..he looked so out of place n had no desire watsoever to play.probably the worst performance in red shirt? so quick to jump into conclusion...haih.. benayoun wasnt effective either but at least he tried. torres needs to improve his ball control in static situations ( he seems to hv better control when the ball is moving)..dats the apparent weakness of his game for now.

there is not much to write as the game was a week ago n i hv forgotten how the game was like. another trophyless but not meaningless season. this season so far has been full of positives.pat on the backs for the boss,the lads n the backroom staffs.
