hence the first half was pretty slow with both teams not creating much. if u realise, our defensive line were pretty deep, main due to the pace of welbeck and young. gerrard imo, apart from his goal, i think he isnt influencing the game much due to the lack of space, with adam around and lucas in the dm role.. we all know adam plays pretty deep due to his passing ability. i trust kenny will come to a solution soon. whether we will stick with a lone man up front or bring back andy, we shall know next week.
so for those who said SAF was scared/cautious, no. its all tactical. he brought on hernandez rooney and nani and went 4-4-2. yes they got their goal. but in 10 mins, we fashioned out 3 great chances (hendo 2, and kuyt 1) and de gea was brilliant (imo expected tho as i've watched him back in la liga and the u-21 euros), he has the quality to be a solid one tho i hope it wont happen
now. newcastle has really caught my eye. with spurs finally finding their feet and yet still able to draw 2-2. they have been on form. arsenal still yet to convince me, and tho i feel for them, i hope they dont find their rhythm as i really want us back in the top4 ! for now, it looks like spurs and us. with arsenal lingering and prolly newcastle the underdogs. hope we will nick it tho still a long way till next may.
up next norwich, we've known to pulling our socks up when playing against so called 'bigger' opponents like the big 4 or 6 now as they say. against 'lesser' teams like these, are what really matters when it comes to the title/ top4.
finally, was pretty upset with the goal. a lapse in concentration with both carra and skrtel losing their man.. to be honest, i really envy manu having hernandez. he was easily the buy of last season, and he's showing its no one season wonder. no wonder even jose wants him in madrid and he just got a new 5 year contract. reminds me of owen when i first started watching football albeit better in the air.
