Question: What happened in the first half??
We didnt compete, our passing and first touch was terrible, we allowed them to dominate.
Its like we had no will, no rocket up the @ss to take the game to them. We were horrible.
Yet Rafa did nothing at half time as if he was satisfied? If we've played Crouchie in a conventional 4-4-2 cant help but feel our first half would have been better which could have turned the course of the game.
I'm not convinced this 4-2-1-1 whenever it is, works against class sides. Stevie is not a striker like Drogba or Rooney say - or even Anelka, so why do we pretend he is?
If we bought Drogba, this lone striker cr@p would go out of the window the same day. If we played 4-4-2 when we had killers like Kenny and Rushie in the same team, why would we play a lone striker?
If Gentleman Bob was amongst us and we asked his opinion of playing a lone striker with a midfielder behind him in the european cup semi final when we NEEDED to score to win, would he think it wise or be surprised the opponents scored more than we did?
It doesnt make sense to me and it showed today as it did against ManUtd and Arsenal.
