Performance was poor, again
Last 15minutes there was NO urgency. Berbatov was alright, but he really should have finished that chance which he normally does as he has one of the best techniques around, he could have even took a touch.
We had chances just failed to covert. Young, first half, 1on1, should have done better with that chance. His crossing was hideous all game. He's still rusty from he's latest injury.
Valencia, man, he was awful.
Nani, probably our best player tonight, taking on players, getting us forward. Still, some times he needs to pick the pass rather than the dribble.
Not sure what happened defensively today. Their first goal was quite lucky though. Cross, hit deflection, Jones HAD to try and clear it as behind him there was a free man waiting to tap in anyway. Their second though De Gea, Rio and Jones all need to take blame for it. A rare mistake from De Gea but Jones shouldn't have passed him the ball. Rio kind of let it hit him ..
Anyway, on the bright side, we're not out, just need to win/draw away at basel and we're through, not too hard right? Could be worse, could be City. We'll finish second, so what. We would have to face Madrid/Barcelona if we got to the semis or final anyway, might as well just face them and get it over with.
