Really poor performance. Poor team selection. Poulsen and Spearing should be nowhere near the first team. Joe Cole is still not on his game (will he ever be?). Meireles had one of his worst games this season, which meant no midfield basically.
Also looks like we paid 35 million to become a long ball team. It's what I feared. Players were lazy and just hit long balls to Carroll as soon as he came on. Carroll did his best, but what's the point?! We may as well have kept Crouch or Heskey if we're going to play that kind of football. And wouldn't need to have paid 35 million either.
I realise Suarez can't play and Gerrard is out, but I'm still disappointed. We played like this against Sparta twice. And Kenny has to take a fair amount of the blame for these performances. We played for a 0-0, and we deserved to lose.
It's the inconsistency that bugs me. We are great under Kenny in some games, and then put in a stinker of a performance like tonight.
kenny is scared of his shadow in europe because he knows nothing about any of the teams, these european performances make me think that, that 10 years out of the game means he has no knowledge of football outside of england. we're gonna get ripped apart tomorrow rafa lol
