Glad Dawson is playing, whenever he's gone up against Carroll he has beaten him every time, was having nightmares about Gallas starting, It's awesome to see Lloris starting too for the third consecutive game, after his world class display midweek he's deserved it.
Bit saddened not to see Tom Carroll in the middle for us, Huddlestone needs a big game though and why oh why is Dempsey STILL getting games? fuck off.

That was fucking garbage. Utterly hopeless performance, probably the worst attacking display from us in a long long time. Suarez has absolutely no help from anyone. Wouldn't blame him if he left, the rest couldn't score in a brothel with a handful of $50's.
Reina had a good game, defence was alright except Downing. He was gash. Allen needs a break, Gerrard had a shit game, Hendo was quiet, Cole and Shelvey did fuck all when they came on, Enrique was average, Sterling looked up for it but his execution was very very poor and Suarez was Suarez but he needed more support.

To be honest, we did have some chances to win the game but couldn't put them away. But yeah, Suarez has no support when going forward. I thought Jose was good in the first half and did help a little. That man is fucking fit btw, doesn't stop running.

That second half has really rustled my jimmies. That's as bad as I've seen Swansea play and we still couldn't take advantage. Didn't even look likely.
Downing is a lost cause. Left back, left midfield or left on the bench, it doesn't matter so I'm not going to dwell on him. Allen and/or Gerrard need to be given a break. Immediately. Henderson didn't have a bad game. Or a good game. He was just there. Hendo gonna' Hendo.
Johnson and Sterling combined well first half but they also decided to conform to the awfulness in the second half. Going to need a hotkey for the redundant "Suarez MOTM" comment.

Doesn't help when BR doesn't play Assaidi and instead goes with a left back to play wing or plays a winger at left back instead of Robinson. Our biggest problem with the formation is that our midfield 3 hang so far back. One of the middle 3 needs to push further up the park, more of a 4-2-3-1 than a 4-3-3. Would help with linking Suarez and our wingers with the rest of the mids. Also they need to be told how to pass the ball forwards for a fucking change and that running & playing quicker might help every now and again :downing
Allen was really poor today, so was Gerrard and so when you're continually giving the ball up in the middle its hard to keep things rolling. Just a disappointing performance all around, never felt like we were trying to win the game at any point.
Re: 2012-13 English Premier League/Cups Thread (Wake me up when November ends :'()
We basically had three players doing the job that Mascherano used to do on his own. I wouldn't want to force Lucas into a more attacking position just to accommodate two other deep-lying midfielders without the legs to get up and down.
I guess the idea relies on fluidity. For which you need to conserve energy. For which you need to be able to find the simple ball and control it. For which you need fluidity. Gerrard is the main culprit in all of this because he's so used to the responsibility of playing the incisive pass every single time. That mentality carried us for about 6 years, but in a completely different system. That mentality in this sytem is his, and ultimately our hamartia.
But, whatever. Main event time coming up and City are going to make those scumbag plastics cry. :jose
