On the CBs, reckoned they did OK, but don't think they escape scott free. Toure's distribution wasn't great and Skyrtel had a hand in two goals, unluckily maybe - but throughout the game I didn't think Toure and Skyrtel complemented each other particularly well. We gave away three scrappy goals, they can't be happy.
At FB, thought Flanno had a poor game, and Jonno not much better. The dropping of Agger suggests maybe BR thought we'd have to cope with an ariel bombing, but in the end the goals were shots. In hindsight, Agger's ability on the ball might have given us something extra bringing it out of defense which I thought we didn't do that well today.
These days the midfield gets a bashing whenever we don't win, its the done thing these days - but the fact that we had > 60% possession suggests we were not overrun today - we had enough of the ball - we just did shag all with it ALL over the pitch - front,back, middle, sides. And a poor Hull side bundled in 3 poxy goals, and I still can't quite believe it.
