decision frame
I'm still in the frame because no decision has been made yet.
gets needs opportunity
Jay-Jay just needs to play better when he gets the opportunity - it's that simple.
It is frustrating because I am ambitious, but that's out of my hands,
agreeing close
From what I can understand, Jussi is close to agreeing his deal.
cannot chance simply understand
From the referee's position, there was no chance he was obstructed, so we simply cannot understand why he didn't give it.
clearance finally necessary
We've finally got clearance through for Nakata so he can come into the fray if we think it's necessary or when we think it is necessary.
anywhere near
He didn't get anywhere near the ball. If that had been a defender, it would have been a penalty, but goalkeepers have this protection.
bit changed expect knew system tempo
He changed the system which we expected. We knew they would come out with a bit more tempo about them...but we didn't expect them to steamroller us.
front goal rather team
We are going to need a double-decker in front of our goal rather than the team coach!
ability attributes close continues earning germany gives goals kevin led main passion plane player regular score seat team top week
Kevin has led the team with passion and professionalism. Each week he gives you everything and he has the ability to be a top player for years to come. One of his main attributes is his ability to score goals on a regular basis. If he continues to progress, he'll go close to earning a seat on the plane to Germany in June.
favorite fingers given heard hope keeping looking officially though
He will be looking to clinch that position, but who knows? I haven't given up hope that it is going to me. It just does not look as though I am the favorite at the moment. I am still keeping my fingers crossed. I have not heard anything officially but we should know by the end of the week.
answer game playing stick
He is going to get stick every game now and the only way he can answer that is by playing like he did at Birmingham,
extremely finishing game good heavy last minutes paid price weekend
Where our finishing was very, very good last weekend it let us down tonight. We really should have put the game away in the first 90 minutes and we haven't done that and have paid a heavy price for it. We are extremely disappointed.
demand manager next public seem
I would like to think the next manager is English. And the public seem to demand that at the moment.
