Such a frustrating game. As soon as Pellegrini made the changes that everyone had been asking for from the 30th minute, we started to get a grip on the game and were it not for Boateng being a cheating **** and saving a certain goal, we might well have done it. So imagine what might've happened if he'd switched to 5 in the middle it at half time instead.
We were given a footballing lesson today, but none of their goals were particularly good, they were all largely from our stupid errors, of which there were many. But playing 4 in the middle meant that our defence was constantly under pressure in dangerous positions, and if you let a team do that to you, even the best players in the world will make mistakes.
