By the looks of that mess, we're a solid mid-table team, as comprised. The back four had no authority about them, and little composure on the ball, Delph and Petrov were more or less invisible, and Heskey and Gabby proved that they are both better suited to coming off the bench than being starting strikers.
I wasn't too impressed by Friedel either.
The only players who I rated highly were Milner and Young.
Much to fix, not much time to do it.
And is it really any big shock that Carew wasn't fit to play?
We should all get used to the fact that he will consistently be out injured, which leaves us with Heskey, Gabby and Defouneso.
Poor.
And to think we caould have signed Tuncay, but did not?
Who would have liked to see Tuncay playing today?
For that matter, who would have prefered to see Sidwell start instead of Delph, who looked a little scared and was ineffective throughout the game. MON should give the boy more time.
The only good that can come out of this is that lerner will insist on spending the required money to get the required quality in.
But I'm not holding my breath.
This could get really ugly....
