the real problem was bringing on ngog for torres with 5 mins left to play at 1-0. howabout ayala. anyone just to stick a goddam boot on it the ball comes into the box. i still like rafa to certain extent and he does make it difficult but he's a donkey sometimes.

he brought ngog on because he is a tall lad who you can ping the ball up to. i think the idea was to keep some sort of threat up forward so we didnt get pegged back too much. torres had drifted out of the game at that stage anyway, and was a risk because he was running a lot, having to come deep and wide to get involved in the game. to be honest i was glad to see torres come off, but ya may have a point.
in saying that, if he hadve took off a forward for an defender and we still drew, would the criticism have been that he was too defensive in the last few minutes? its kind of a double edged sword in hindsight.

sorry but you are wrong - torres occupied 3 defenders - they were terrified of him .... ngog wasn't even watched as they knew he didn't have the pace or skill to trouble them ...... taking off torres freed two players to push on

watch again and you will find that they played their midfield deeper to protect them against the threat of torres - that meant no support for their attackers - who was up there when the goal was scored?? have a look and then come back and answer the question as to why they suddenly had 3 forward instead of only one in every other attack

well, 0-1 down with 5 mins to go. do you push up for the equaliser or continue to play deep to guard agst torres? be it torres or any other forward up there for pool, lyon is still going to push up.

if pool was 0-1 down with 5 mins to go agst man u, do we continue to play deep to guard agst rooney or berba or owen? you'll bloody hell see reina going up for freekicks and corners!
