It wasn't in my opinion, if not worse atleast the same shitty performance as the Wigan game. It may have looked a bit better at times but we were playing a much worse team tonight.
Guzan - 6 - Looks solid.
Beye - 4 - Still not impressing me, and I don't think he will in the future either. Hopefully he can prove me wrong.
Davies - 3 - Don't know if it's his shoulder injury that causes it, but he really is awfull at the moment. We desperatly need one or two new CBs.
Cuellar - 4 - Average at best.
Shorey - 6 - I thought he had a very good game until the last half hour or so when he just didn't looked focused enough.
NRC - 4 - Not easy to be a CM in a team that only hoofs balls to the opposing defence.
Sidwell - 4 - Invisible, but same problem as above.
Gardner - 3 - He plays worse everytime I see him. Should play more simple and try to use his cannon of a shot more often.
Milner - 6 - Worked very hard as always but struggled to create anything.
Young - 5 - Same as Milner minus the workrate. Got better in the second half though.
Heskey - 3 - It can't be easy being a lone striker in this team at the moment, I'll give him that. But when the chances get to him he always seems to screw up one way or another. Terrible first touch on the ball tonight, and stop falling over 1000 times every game damn it!!
My Man of the Match goes to Milner. Even if he didn't have one of his best games today he tried and tried. Never stopped working and did a good job defensivly taking advantage of his strength.
We're going to get raped by Liverpool if we play like this.
