We have the luxury of hindsight but agree we looked much better. What was abundantly clear was that Cisse cannot play out on the left. Would have been better with Traore or even Smith. Still, I can well imagine had we started like that and the result was similar MH would have been slaughtered off being too defensive!
We were completely **** today. That's as bad as it gets. Useless the ****ing lot of them. Mark Hughes, the thirteenth highest paid manager in the world??? One point from twenty four away from home! I want my money back.
4-4-2? Wouldn't have made any difference. The only reason it looked better was because Chelsea were comfortable and could afford to sit back.
Strongly agree with Eamon. They were just cruising at half speed hence allowed us to appear to be playing.
Whilst I agree it was a gutless performance sticking our most effective striker out on the left was stupid. Starting buz also poor decision. Should have used the wings and crossed it for Zamora and cisse Poor management on selection and player motivation If we go down on gd today was when we let it slip badly
