Johnson on the left and Downing on the right kills our wing play. Johnson clearly is not functioning on the left, and for Downing to play well on the right, he needs a good link up play with the fullback, which Kelly has failed tremendously today. And instead of swapping position between Downing n Borini(who was almost invisible throughout the first half), Downing was taken out when clearly he had contributed more than Borini.

To make things worse is when our captain became the worst player in red for the match. Hopefully we'll bounce back, we still have 37 games to make things right.YNWA

somehow after more than 5 games, it seems that borini has even worse touch carroll. might as well put carroll in the middle and flank by sterling and suarez.

on a side note, sterling's first touch and ball control is wonderful~

and SKRTEL!!

BR, please bring back Fowler/Rush to train our forwards' finishing..lol

another 23 minutes to go..we need to control the ball and protect possession as much as possible. go reds!

wtf!!

Both of our goals comes from set piece, a real concern indeed. We still fail to score from open play.

FSG funded the purchase of Suarez, Downing, Adam and Henderson, totaling around 80mil. This season, they funded the purchase and loan of Allen, Borini, Assaidi and Sahin, costing around 30mill. What more can we ask of them? Let's be honest, FSG is no oil syeikh or Russian king pin.

RvP practically can score goals while having his eyes closed, while our forwards can practically screw up any golden chances..lol
