one of the most disappointing performances all season tonight. NO sense of urgency whatsoever, almost as if they expected to win without having to work for it.
Ok, we had possession, but Benfica didn't really come out to play, so that isn't saying much. Our distribution was appalling. Commentators were talking about the strikers not doing their job.....I can't agree with that as they go zero service. How many hit and hope balls did we see over the top tonight? Shocking.
I was quite the advocate at the beginning of the season that we weren't as dependant on Gerrard as we clearly are. When he came off the bench, he was working 2 gears higher than the rest of the team..and the only one with a real sense of urgency.
We should have murdered them.
