The game hadn't even started and I could have sworn some fans near me actually wanted MD to make a mistake. Quite depressing listening to fans who are constantly negative. Like someone said on here, the media have created this opinion that he is rubbish, granted, he's not perfect but he's our player and he should be supported as such.
After the game at the weekend against Chelsea I was of the opinion that Lescott should have started, however the selection of MD did not cost us the game. I am disappointed that we didn't play to our strengths and go for it like we have done for the majority of the season, would rather have lost 3-1, 4-2 knowing we caused them many more problems than we did. We may even have won with a bit more adventure.
But even that is not accepting that Barcelona are still one of the top 2 or 3 teams in Europe and the team they fielded have played together at this level for years. They may well have won regardless of the personnel and tactics we employed. Which is why I think looking back, we may regret not having more of a go.
