An observation!!

[Rob The Knob]

Seems strange our three players that were substituted were all on the Miami jaunt!! Not certain players taking a break during regular season is the way to go!!

Any players taking time out for personal reasons is warranted and understandable...

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

We haven't had a game for ages - the players are refreshed(?), raring to go, and we get a very poor first half. Why? We should be like coiled springs ready to boing forward. We do not seem to have established a set pattern where we summarily dismiss efforts from teams like Sunderland, Stoke, Hull, etc, and play 90 mins of what I would expect to be a formality. I think it is not arrogant on my part, but we never seem to have two games running where the best of the first match is transferred to the second, and we never seem to get a solid 90 min performance. If there wasn't a break at half time would be ever get out of first gear. Just one of life's mysteries.

Mancini said himself they're going to have to want it 200 per cent, on that 1st half performance they clearly don't, much better in the 2nd after a bollocking no doubt, and but for poor finishing could have repeated the Chelsea scoreline!!

I think that break did us more damage than good TBH...

Just hope the backlog of games does not tell on us

Would have loved to have played that Spuds game last week.
