Given that both Jova and Kuyt are actually strikers and not midfielders, we effectively played with two midfielders : Gerrard and Lucas!
I would either haved played Poulsen and Maxi in place of Lucas and Torres (let him come on later) or Poulsen and Agger again in place of Lucas and Torres, and played Carra as LB with Soto & Skrtle as CBs. As it turned out, I think we were out-skilled (Johnson & Milner) and outmuscled (De Jong & Toure) in the middle.
Perhaps RH is still getting to know his players and has overestimated Torres and Gerrard. This is a major hiccup!?
The only positive thing about it is that this has happened early ..
I hope that's truly the case as it was pretty obvious after the first half we were overrun in the midfield, yet it took so long for a substitution to take place.I would either haved played Poulsen and Maxi in place of Lucas and Torres (let him come on later) or Poulsen and Agger again in place of Lucas and Torres, and played Carra as LB with Soto & Skrtle as CBs.

On a sidenote, nobody seems to be pointing out Roy's "weird" decision to take out Torres or the poor man-marking that led to the 2nd goal. Bloody ass-licking media c*nts.
