I said before the kick-off that we would'nt win with Hendo or Downing on from the start, and i stand by that, maybe i missed something but Hendo disappointed again last night,Downing once again failed and JD's brilliant stat compounds it, Kuyt is nowhere near his form from last season and was at fault for the first goal losing possession to easily,
we bossed both half's imo with the difference being City's strike force being light years ahead of ours, apart from the three mentioned above we matched or bettered City in every department, and had we Gerrard,Bellers and Maxi on in their stead we would have faired much better,
the score line flatters City and once again i feel we lost points purely to lack of quality,this will be addressed in due course no doubt but like most reds the frustration we feel is unbearable at times,
i eagerly await for the Jan signings to appear and whoever they may be must impact virtually from the off, we keep losing points and that has to stop if we are to keep our CLQ hopes alive,
had we won last night we would have been only 8pts off City and already sat in 4th, so it's like a jab on the nose that rocks us on our heels, but we will come out fighting next round and we will soon be boxing clever again.
