Dire stuff, I'm afraid, and with very few new ideas following the international break. We are still sitting WAY to deep, getting closed down way too easily and failing to get the ball into dangerous positions and players in the final 3rd. Torres is not the problem: he has had zero service. Gerrard and Cole both are being forced to drop very deep just to get a touch and when the they look up, there's 6-7 men between them and the goal, with Torres plowing a very lone furrow up front.
The goal was poor to concede, with neither Lucas nor Konchesky doing an adequate job of closing Coleman down and no one picking up Cahill's run. We will need a massive improvement in the second half if we want anything out of this match.
