Balls, bit of bad luck for Smithies there.
In the build up to that goal Henry was pressing the ball, but no one else was - that's not the way to play that game, you have to hunt in packs.
On the contrary, he was the only one who was doing his job, or at least trying to. But he could play a blinder and it wouldn't make a difference to most on here.Henry didn't do his job.

No need, he was pressing the ball in the right place on the pitch, didn't get it (maybe if another midfielder had been doing his job we would have) but there was still a full defence behind him who should have dealt with it. Just lazy and biased to blame him for a fluke goal.Yes, tried to do his job but didn't do it effectively enough. Switched off and cost us. Watch again.
We're under the cosh here, time for some subs...
Trying to work out whether Van la Parra is very good or whether Konchesky is just crap. Bit of both probably.

Not looking good at the moment.
