Well, I guess we should just forget this weekend ever happened. We lost, Arsenal lost, Man United drew, Liverpool drew... I'm just going to start my Monday like no game were played this weekend, but before that let's just try to figure out what went wrong.
With Kalou and Yossi injured we still put in a strong line up but our bench looked week and I wasn't sure we had anyone there who could make a difference in case we needed. But our strong line up wasn't strong this Saturday. We couldn't get passes right, our shots on goal were not on target and nothing went right. Man City on the other side played a good defensive game and scored a goal. We could not do the same. They looked stronger than us and like they wanted the result more than us, there are no other excuses.
A surprise was seeing Drogba getting substituted. To be completely honest he struggle that game, he couldn't keep the ball and I'm not sure it was a bad decision. I do believe we might be needing another striker in the bench, and now it's a bit too late. Don't get me wrong, I do like Sturidge, but I'm not sure he is quite ready yet.
I'm not going to pin point anyone for the bad performance. Everyone was poor. Our strikers could shot on target, the wings didn't come up with good crosses, the midfield didn't give any really good passes. We were wasteful ! For the first time I think we missed Lampard. Now let's put our heads up and be ready for the champions League game and for the Arsenal game on the weekend.
On the good side our loss went out unpunished. Arsenal had a incredible poor game against West Brom, and lost at home a game most people considered easy. Man United lost to Bolton, the pair of O'Shea and Evans is not working I believe and I hope it stays this way. Also, Rooney, oh Rooney... Thank you for keeping the poor form you are in !
Well, let's hope for a much better performance next game and that we can cope with the loss of Lampard, Kalou and Yossi.
Have a good week everyone !
