I thought we played well, but the bus parking proved difficult to break thru’. Torres missed yet another sitter, and gomes was playing a blinder before he fumbled. Would we break thru’ in the end? Then some fortune just on half time. I was already at the bar, so diodn’t see it live. But at half time by the bar they actually showed close-up replay 4 times, which surprised me, as probably only 80% of the ball was over the line.
A wonder goal on 19mins from nothing. Just as it looked like we’d be getting a goal. The next few 30 yard shots from sandro will probably go in the upper tier.
In the second half we bossed it. I liked the midfield, even without the width, as we just kept taking the ball back when we didn’t have it. Shame Malouda’s penalty wasn’t given. And how small are half that shite team? They’re a team of midgets without the giraffe playing.
But I’ll take 3 points. We were unlucky at shite lane when drog missed a last min pen, so i’ll take a late goal at home. ‘arry’s tactics worked. Break away when you can, otherwise all get behind the ball. But if that’s how to get something from a game then he played it right, almost. And Torres’ miss was what we expect now. Not sure we can play 4-4-2. Torres went off for Kalou.
