Just after waking myself up after a bit of a power nap after getting the flight home from London this morning.
Thought 3-0 was definetly not a deserved scoreline. I see Ancellotti has come out and said that the penalty was a penalty but that it probably wouldn't have changed the game. Nonsense... I just hope that one day all of these bad decisions finally go our way in a big game like this. It kind of smacks of the FA trying to do some sort of fixing but then you look at today and they could have had a showpiece final and it hasn't worked out for them so maybe thats just us being conspiracy theorists at best.
Anyway, thought it was a good performance from the lads.... We do miss the slight extra cutting edge up front and it's something that will have to be worked on during the window. I think Downing will also be a hell of a lot better next season as well with a proper pre season in him. Cuellar had Malouda in his pocket for most of the game apart from the goal at the end but thats understandable. Petrov was excellent as was Milner but again, tiredness was a factor.
Overall a good performance and a good day out, just shame about the result. Still though, 2 visits to Wembley in a season is clearly a mark of improvement. A great day out was had anyway. Wembley is a very impressive stadium, just a shame they cant knit a few sods of turf together to get a half decent pitch!
