So the Cups it is then this season?

At this rate we arent going to qualify for Europe through the League, Jol said himself we need to win 5 or 6 away games this season to get UEFA, today we missed a good chance to get our first one...

Couple that with the fact that Jol kept his (IMO) forst choice strike partnership on the bench today to rest them for Leverkusen on Thursday makes me think he knows it too.

Well we better bloody win one then! Or atleast make a final against a top four team so we get qualification.

Yeah... I thought it was a bit odd resting Keane and Berbatov today... when we had a good chance to take 3 points.

Why not play Keane when he scored a hat-trick for Ireland in mid-week? Unbelievable.

I know mate, scoring goals is the kiss of death for our strikers, do it and youre dropped!

Well Defoe is now top scorer with... 2!

And both from penalties!

Muppets, and people wonder why Jenas (our only goal scoring midfielder) is so important to the team. We really missed him against Blackburn, remember Defoes cross into the six yard box? JJ would have been right there to knock it in had he been playing.

I rate Jenas personally... and I have noticed against Port Vale, Reading and Blackburn that we miss him.

He would have knocked it in just like he did against Liverpool

hahaha The fact is tho that Zokora needs a player next to him that will chase and close down the opposition as they try to play it into the last third, Jenas does this tirelessly, Zokora is too lazy, The Hudd is too big and slow.

jols got it all wrong this year...wen defoe and mido boths cored 3 goals in 2 games 2 weeks ago he dropped them for the weekend game against vila i think...strikers score goals wen their luk and morales high...why drop keane and berbatov this weekend if they were going good? i think jol needs a wack in d head
