I agree with most of what you say there - it was a *iss poor performance full stop. We were an embarrassment tbh and I don't think anyone should get paid for last night but sadly the game does not work like that. I do not however agree with your assessment of the various components of the team eg GK, defence and midfield. Cech is a top keeper. Our defence is pretty good - better with JT in it; last night was an off-night big time. Our midfield does need some work as does our striker(s). Still at the top of the PL at the moment - see how we go.
Cech is top class. Defence is shaky agreed but it's not hard to see the issue. The midfield pivot is the issue, i.e Lampard can't play there. But for you, let's not get cocky, it's still a step up from Uniteds midfield.
Campbell--Thank you for that very accurate resume! We have a problem that because we're rarely on the end of a defeat--when it actually happens some think the ground is about to open up and suck us in ! The positive side of this is its a wake up call from a defeat in a trophy that doesn't matter, to come alive in our next PL game!
Still a work in progress esp the defence -agree with shwan lack of balance in midfield top heavy with attack-minded players but no one is prepared to do the holding job in front of the back four leaving them vulnerable to the counter.
