For the first time in months, we outplayed our opponent, and still got beat. It shows that when your not getting the luck, your not getting the luck.
We were all over them in the first half, sessegnon off the line (is the lad going to break his duck after he hit the bar v Everton?) and plenty of corners which were actually put in good areas for the lads to attack. Then low and behold, a terrible blunder at the back and we are 1 0 down.
For me, all though everyone is going to blame Mignolet, which is right, it is his fault if hes shouted for it, but Bardo has to just launch it in the stand if he thinks the keeper is not getting there, the first rule of defending! So that was ashame.
We came back at them in the second half, showed good link play, welbeck headered over, catt and hendo went close, we were in birminghams half pressing and... Gardener shoots out of nothing and probably catches the keeper out if anything (I hope the fans support the lad on saturday).
When the luck is not going with you, its not going with you.
Thought we played well yesterday, controlled the midfield, maybe bring in muntari or Rico for colback on Saturday with it been at home, we probably need their experience and still have good pace and will help out defence and attack however colback played well, so did henderson
and cattermole, Gyan and Welbeck were average but both had chances, and sessegnon was showing that hes **** as people have been saying, but has got good touches and can beat a man. Turner was clearly not match fit and Elmo didnt do anything wrong really and was playing more as a wing back.
Its positive for Saturday, i would agree with what Bruce said in his post match interview, and move on too next saturday where if we play like that, we should win.
Thoughts?
