We were crap, as were the tactics, or distinct lack if them.
That's not football, basically goading your opponent to knock you out by lowering your hands and sticking your chin out.
Liverpool were no great shakes, a slightly upgraded version of Swansea, who also caused us the same problem between our midfield and defenders.
When Aguero is missing and Negredo is up top on his own, our shortcomings on the back foot are just more pronounced as we lack that extra consideration that opponents have to usually accommodate for.
Lescott should never play for us again, it was clear to see how important it is having a second central defender in Demichelis, who can actually pass a ball forward out of the backline.
Well done Joe Hart, but I thought the rest of the lads are starting to look leggy, our squad depth and quality is nothing of the sort.
What a fantastic result, though. Even at 60 per cent we can get the job done.
Please Manuel, go cap in hand this January.
One left back, one central defender and a world class midfielder.
