Yuk, that one left a bad taste in the mouth.
Poor performance and no getting away with it this time. Why are we so wasteful in the final third?
At least its one less competition to worry about and a good experience for the young squad.
Onwards and upwards, need to come back stronger for the weekend.

Is it just me or is Studge and Raheem not interested in passing to their teamates? Studge had chances to pass to a teamate after drawing 3-4 players to him and wanted to get past all of them. I was furious because I knew it could come back to haunt us and it did. Their attitude REALLY needs to change. As for the game, I thought we we solid BUT allowed them to hang around long enough for them to beat us and they did. On to the next game.

Sturridge did pass the ball 25 of the 38 times he touched it. Balotelli, by comparison, passed 21 of the 37 times he touched it. Agreed Sturridge's decision making at times can be a bit poor, but in general I think his percentage of passes v. non is pretty well typical of most strikers.

Sturridge is still not fit and has hit a bad patch of form at the same time.
Worrying.
The forwards should be shown a video of the first 20 minutes.
We had enough chances to finish the tie off in that time.
It was a case of poor control, poor decision making, The pitch. Just one of them days.
Unlucky fella's.
