A cracking start to the game, should have taken our chances better, Best in particular with the rebound.
Good goal from Nolan, ball in from Tiote was Barton quality, look like we would start to crack on from then, but it just didn't click.
Their goal was very sloppy on our part, gave the ball away in bad positions and gave Sturridge too much time to shoot.
The sending off was stupid, in the middle of the park, no immediate danger and yet he goes in high, 2 footed, correct decision by the ref.
Defensively we did well after that, and we could have won it with a Ranger offside goal and a Kuqi penalty appeal (This is what i've read, stream went down).
Overall, with the other results going our way, it feels a bit like Blackburn... where if we had won we would have been in an excellent position.. But as Sir Bobby said, If is the biggest word in football.
