I think we did enough to get something from that game, even a couple of staunch (southern) Manure mates of mine felt we were the better team for most of the game, we failed to take the chances we created, which is criminal.
I like Saha, but as soon as I saw Evans and Rio were starting I wanted us to get Defoe on asap, clever movement, quick and the best shot from range we have IMO. Gutted to see he's falling down the pecking order, IMO he warrants at least 30 mins every week.
I hate to criticise Hazza, because he's proved me wrong with virtually every one of his signings (bar Pienaar) but I think he's a little tactically naive, Against the goons, where was Lennon? Against Manure where why was Luka on the left, when we had Niko/Gio/Rose on the bench? square pegs into round holes WTF Harry?!
I am a BAE fan, when we're at home (sorry Sfer) I understand your opinion and at times BAE, makes me want to gauge my eyes out with a rusty, blunt spoon. He has an error in him and against the goons he was poor, but so was the whole team IMO. I thought Livermore looked superb, great work rate and distribution, the second best player on the pitch after Young IMO.
I also thought, Jones should/could/would have been sent off, his early challenge on BAE was late and poor and he committed two similar tackles later against Luka and Lennon. I rate Jones, but I fully understand Johns sentiments re: Jones's england future, surely Jones is a CB/DM really?
We were without Bale, Vdv, Parker, certain other teams would be quick to point out that missing three of your best players is certain to affect your performance, but I know that is a poor excuse, especially as we were the better team for much of the game!
COYS! - pull your fingers out!
soz about the epic.
