The ball bobbled horrendously when Toure went to clear it. It bobbled so close to him he had no time to react. He was honest about his pass that lead to WBA equalising, held his hands up and said 'sorry'. But he was equally honest when he pointed to the ground incredulously tonight. He was unlucky in my book.
4 points off the top with City and Chavs at home
One sour note, did anyone else think Flanno had a bit of a 'mare' tonight?
Didn't think Flanagan had a good game either, nor did the centre backs.
But once again - and fair play to the guy after giving him so much grief - Cissokho didn't put a foot wrong in the game. His tackles were excellent, and while he will never be good with the ball at his feet, he did his defensive duty while also making that great interception for Gerrard to play that wonderful ball to Sturridge.
We obviously HAVE to play much better when away, and certainly against smaller teams. But 3 points is 3 points, and as long as there is an improvement, then I won't lose too much sleep. Defence is the big priority in these games. Major F**k ups by individuals are costing us. Hopefully the return of Agger, and Sakho soon, bucks up their ideas.
P.S. Hope Fulham get relegated - they played awful-to-watch route one tactics. Awful, and I hope Meulensteen fucks off from the Premier League sooner rather than later.
