Very poor first half, and a decent second half, but despite us dominating possession of the football, even having more chances, we still lost a game that Milner described as one of their worst performances of the season.
They barely mounted an attack all game, but as per usual we gifted them a goal through poor defending. On the attack Kolarov gives the ball away needlessly, then two easy passes and a cross later we're picking the ball out of the net, without so much as a challenge, is anyone else fed up with watching us defend like that ? Yet if you analyse the defenders individually, its hard to say any of them had a bad game, we're just too soft all over the pitch, our attacking players don't defend, the midfield is a one man band, and he wasn't great today by his standards, and the defence has little confidence in either itself the keeper or those ahead of them, we are making it far too hard for ourselves.
We're occasionally decent at the moment, but its far behind where these players should be consistently performing for me, and the manager has to take some of the blame for the numerous changes of players tactics and formations.
