our passing and movement were slick during the opening exchanges, but that goal has sapped our confidence a bit.
its made a bit more harder for them too because of the way the ball has transferred straight from the back four to ngog and torres. if we continue to move around and keep it low, our quality will tell. if lucas and meireles can get into gear, this game will be won. right now our midfield two is being chased off the areas on the park where they are most effective.
you know anti hero i dont see it like that, I think up until the front 2 and wide players we look fine in posession but anything that reaches NGog, Maxi, Kuyt and especially Torres our play is turning to sh*t. We have had the better of midfield and only conceded from a shocking bit of defending from a set piece. Bar that and a long ball/ knock down/ shot combo that Carroll and Ameobi made they have been every bit as bad as us
