A result I'd take considering the performance.
As we can see, when we've not got Steven Gerrard, Daniel Agger and even Luis Suarez, we look really average. I think the team did well defensively but it was the attacking players that disappointed.
Probably need to ship out Maxi and Kuyt for better replacements in the summer. I actually don't think N'gog is good enough but I do believe I may be harsh because it was his first start after a long time. Let's be honest, he isn't exactly young. Born in the same year as Andy Carroll and Alexandre Pato but a big contrast as footballers.
Age isn't the problem but .. how do I put this .. let's just say, if a player is like this at 22, how improved can he be at 25? I mean, look at Jack Wilshere. He is 3 years younger but has shown alot for his age. I just feel if a player is like older than 20 and hardly shows any glimpses of quality, he just won't make it.
