feel sorry for the youngsters, gabby and ash. they tried hard and made things happen. we dominated possession, looked more dangerous. blues to be fair were very good at getting out quick and blocking shots.
however, the defence are terrible. without the protection of petrov and milner infornt of them, and without carlos there covering up their mistakes they are being shown up for what they really are: just a load of cloggers- slow, clumsy and technically awful. they cant make a simple 10 yard pass most of the time. to think how much money was spent on them!
id replace all of them, and that includes brad. communication was shocking in the first half between keeper and back 4. i also thought given he got a hand there brad could have swept it wide, but he totally whiffed on it.
