No, Pedersen looked ponderous and cowardly, which is actually how he's looked all season, peppered with some spectacular goals. I've never seen anyone blown off the ball easier and as for pulling out if anyone looks like they might tackle him- just call him the master of that!
Could anyone tell me just WHY Robbie Savage was playing on the right wing for the last 20 minutes? I know he's trying to avoid a booking (edit- have just read the rest of this section- thank god he can tackle again!!!) but he's not a right winger and it was just a ridiculous thing to do (although to be fair Reid and Bently looked better in the middle than Savage did.
And as for @#/?, get him away from the team. I'm beginning to feel the same about him as I feel about Amo. He's a liability- not for his play, but his whinging and whining. His booking today was absolutely unnecessary- and he damn near got sent off too. But I don't know WHY Mr Hughes didn't take him off- unless he was preparing for the Liverpool game which stinky can't play in???!?
But I have to say- just how GOOD is Bellamy? Those are the sort of quality goals we haven't seen since Shearer in his prime. You can see why Bellers didn't fancy playing on the right wing, can't you??? That's the good things he who shall not be named did for us up to three (edit FOUR) now. Buying Andy Cole, getting Mark Hughes (we wouldn't have otherwise- and we wouldn't have won the Worthy Cup) and being the general ar*e he was with us at Puke and giving us Bellamy at a knock-down price (and leaving with us actually getting money rather than having to pay money).
We really have to defend better if we're going to keep him- he obviously isn't going to be happy if an inept rest of the team spoils his great work every week!!!
