It is pretty obvious to me that Traore doesn't have it . Lando is right - a number of times today we were playing the offside track with a flat back three of Hyypia, Cara and Finnan, with Traore lagging behind.
But he isn't why we didn't win, nor is Hyypia or Reina. We needed Alonso, and without him in the middle, we needed SG there. We missed the distribution and stability in the centre of midfield until Alonso came on.
Maybe we had to rest Alonso, but in that case, SG should've been playing cente midfield. Hindsight is nice, I hope the lesson has been learnt.
