How nice is it to say that. And it's true. Much better performance.
Clear penalty for Kuyt.
Our defense of set plays in still poor. We left Downing completely unmarked for a corner and in the next corner did exactly the same again. Seriously? How have we not sorted these issues out yet? Similarly we don't make enough of our own free kicks and corners, we just don't have enough players who are good headers of the ball.
My other concern is there's a high risk of Lucas picking up a second yellow in these conditions. He's played well, broke up a lot of play but I can see him walking. I'd be tempted to play Pacheco early if he's sliding into tackles. The problem with that is that he won't hold as well and I'm sure Rafa plans to sub Aquilani, who still looks off the pace, at around the 65min mark.
55-45% to us first half I reckon, so with a bit of luck we can win this.
, i mean the first decent thing that Benitez did was dropping him last game, should have done that as well this game
