We are going to need something out of the blue very early in the second half. We're being utterly, utterly outclassed all over the park. Yeah, we were robbed of a penalty, but to be honest a second had been coming anyway. Can't argue with the third at all - we were just taken apart.
Quite why every ball into Baros has been in the air when he's up against Stam I have no idea. Gerrard's barely had a sniff, Garcia's turning into 3 defenders every time he's got it, Cafu has Riise in his pocket...it's just all bad news so far.
Traore is an absolute liability in the defence at the moment. If it wasn't for the fact that we have no-one else for the left of midfield now, I'd say pull Riise back there.
And - when we've got Cisse, Hamann, Le Tallec and Biscan on the bench - why the hell was it Smicer that replaced Kewell?
