Fucking Christ. It doesn't matter if it was his first CL game or not. We are allowed to post observations of what we saw.
This is exactly true. When found on the right, he would try to turn onto his left and cut in, but he does it in fucking slow motion.
of course you are uni....but i dont see the reason to deface the player with derogatory words as such(not saying its you). everybody knows he isnt good on the wing, yet gasp still put him there. i dont think its rickys fault...is it?
its like when cuchu was played outta position last season, in a more advanced role...was it his fault that he wasnt performing well, or the fault of the person who put him there?
its essential(to me atleast) that he needs to play in the CM. we have 0 link up in the CM spot. when this is happening, wes has to drop back deeper and deeper. obi was meant to fullfill that role last night, but it just didnt happen for the young fella. gasp should have seen he was having a shocker, and put ricky in there. without a decent passing CM, we are forcing our cb pair to play as liberos(see how many times lucio and frog had to push the ball up themselves to get things going), and as i said before, wes had to drop back very deep at times. this rendered zarate almost useless at times, and we all knoiw how pazzo operates without any service.
for this team to run well, we really need that ball playing CM. look at our treble year. so many of our players thrived off this due to one person(dont laugh)...thiago motta. when he was on song, and his distribution from the final third was there, it made everyones life so much easier. wes flourished as he could concentrate on doing what he does best. how many goals did we score of the break away with milito, with long passes from wes that stemed from passes starting from motta.
if we are going to play 3 in the mid, then this is where ricky needs to be. i dont know why hes so bad on the wing, it could be a number of reason.....but gasp needs to wake up and see this.
seriously though...first freaking CL experience with the club. lets wait till he really sux to say he does.
Why didn't Gasp play in the center? He was fairly good there against Palermo. Are Zanetti and Cambiasso really that much better going forward?
ive been asking myself this question now for a good 10 hours....if anyone can help me out, id appreciate it
