Thought Enrique was outstanding, Downing was simply getting in his way most of the game, and when Downing switched to the other wing he was getting in Johnson's way. Not gonna criticise Glen for his miss as I don't expect him to score every time he gets in those positions and he did well tonight. Defense were solid but our midfield was simply not good enough accross all of them. Kuyt, Adam, Downing and Henderson in that particular order good to worst, I don't know what Henderson brings to the team, it's like 10 men and one kid we're just letting play with us. The moment he has the ball he gets rid of it in whatever way shape or form he can, his defensive qualities are simply positioning as I never see him go in for a challenge and quick getting forward is none-existant! Sorry Jordan but you have more than your hair to worry about when you're playing for us, this is meant to be your position and at the moment I'd prefer you out on the wing, you can have less of an impact out there and not drag the side down. Charlie's set pieces were abysmal, Fergie give us your £10m for them and we'll get someone else to take them is the way I feel at the moment. Pathetic penalty, shocking free-kicks, he's been much better recently but this was a step backwards, granted not helped by Mr. Invisible next to him, Maxi was the only player trying to link up with Suarez, industry does not create chances, intelligence does against these type of teams and Henderson/Kuyt/Downing just look a little slow in the head for me. More creativity needed in this team without doubt! #Disappointed!
