After Tom Huddestone struck a shot of such inaccuracy that it didn't even go out for a goal kick, Kranjcar was able to meet it, loft his cross into the middle and watch Crouch out-jump Ryan Nelsen to head in via the bar.
such libel! tommy obviously meant to hit it all the way to niko in the corner.

considering he had like a billion shots, thudd probably should have had a birthday goal today
there was one crossfield pass in the second half that was so mindblowing lennon failed to control it properly iirc

i like that cross a couple of games ago that thudd did that was disguised as a really shit shot that went to the corner flag, but it was a ploy to set up a goal for crouch.

corluka has transformed aaron lennon. it's as good a partnership as anderton/carr that one season they were both fit.

i'd have to know how you were sayin it though, to be completely happy with it spreading. for a start, it's never 'yomp' it's definitely YOMP, got to bite down on the 'mp'

But assuredly it was in that Word of God itself which was in the beginning with God and was God, namely, in the wisdom itself of God, apart from time, at what time that wisdom must needs appear in the flesh. Therefore, since without any commencement of time, the Word was in the beginning, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, it was in the Word itself without any time, at what time the Word was to be made flesh and dwell among us. And that Word was YOMP.

and YOMP is only for a THUDD strike, it's not a catch-all or anything
― ice cool HOOSicle (darraghmac), Wednesday, 20 January 2010 10:45 (fourteen years ago) link
But THUDD works better for a big strike. Simplistic, powerful and onomatopoeic. And you can put extra Ds on the end to indicate POWER.

JJ or kranjcar? would have assumed that niko/modric can do a job centrally, though that may be just a touch too attack minded.
that said, jenas midfield is just a touch too nothing-minded.
― ice cool HOOSicle (darraghmac), Wednesday, 20 January 2010 10:59 (fourteen years ago) link
Definitely not Modric in the centre up against Mascherano, he's way better with more space to play with out on the left. Probably not Kranjcar either given he plays pretty ineffectively there for Croatia.
Every time JJ has come on we start playing in a different way and there's more penetration through the middle of the park. I'd say Palacios-Jenas-Croatians on both flanks is the way to go.
― Space Battle Rothko (Matt DC), Wednesday, 20 January 2010 11:27 (fourteen years ago) link
I'd trust Modric to win space in the centre, tbh. And I'm not sure that Liverpool, in their current state (including injuries) need much more than Palacios to handle them through the centre.
I'd much prefer to see us put them on the back foot, though in fairness JJ covers a lot of ground off the ball (though again, in fairness he doesn't seem to do much once he gets there)

also it acknowledges that he is the best passer with either foot in england, which maybe more people need to say and hear.
