Meh, had some time to think about the result now (Formulate excuses :hubbahubba:) and if you look back you can see the critical moments that cost us. The fact that Ferdinand got injured and his replacement King got injured contributed badly to our crappy defence. JT had to play with a different partner every game and he hasn't looked the same since the Bridge-gate scandal anyway. Rooney's form destroying injury at the end of last season was pretty unlucky as well, could have done with him firing on all cylinders.
The fact Heskey exists also pretty soundly mucked up our chances. I mean, it's just not enough to be as terrible player, he felt the need to break Ferdinand's knee with his fat [censored]. Heskey doesn't do calamity by halves. Sure, it wasn't his fault that our malfunctioning 4-4-2 system was basically designed around him but that didn't make it any prettier to watch.
I am sort of looking forward to getting some fresh meat into the squad though over the coming years, the likes of Hart, Walcott, A.Johnson, Wilshere, Gibbs, Rodwell etc. Will be nice to mix them with the "Golden Generation". I think in time Milner will make a mean CM, he sort of reminds me of Schweinsteiger in a weird sort of way.
Now to drink heavily :foodndrink: To heavy and perhaps slightly harsh defeat!
