Relief at a point in Spain

Last updated : 01 November 2006 By Paul Lagan
I don't know about you, but it was not enjoyable watching last night's match.
The only feeling I have is one of relief we got a point.
It was not one of Kalid the Cannibal's better nights, but well done to Hilario.
Lamps looks a lot happier but Ballack let me down big time.
We really needed him to stand up and be counted and time again he was left wanting.
Robben should have a had a couple of goals and is coming into form at a crucial time.
Joe Cole needed some minutes on the pitch but did not contribute too much.
Ash looked okay at full back but Messi is class and would not be out of his depth at the Bridge.
Richardo just can't stand up when going for the ball. I know Frank Lebeouf had a similar trait, but please Ricardo, take a look at JT for all your tackling needs.
JT was sublime. What a deft touch for Drogs's goal - brilliant.
Maka was, well Maka..... a class act and one who will be needed when we face Spurs at the weekend.
Yes relief all round from me.... now back to the Premiership and a litle matter of preserving a certain league record against our brothers from Three Point Lane - c'mon!
