We were ***** against swansea. We were ***** against southampton. We were ***** against blackburn. The tactics deployed were the cause.
So what if we were shyte against Swansea, Southampton and Blackburn? We were absolutely superb against Chelsea and Arsenal and only came away with 2 draws, that happens, that's football.
Do you think other clubs like Chelsea, City and United don't scrape past teams every now and again? Hell, United have been doing it all season.
Btw Gerrards red card didn't make it harder for us it made it impossible for us, he came on when it was only 1-0, yes we had played awful (particularly in the first 20 minutes) but we have done that a lot recently and finished games strong, all indications were that we were starting to play ourselves back into it but Gerrard went and blew any chance we had.
Let's face it if that would have been Balotelli or Lucas getting sent off you'd be ripping them to f**k.
