I remember thinking at the time that Downing was poor in general today, but on reflection, he did create some chances, and actually had an assist. He did make a few mistakes, but he was still better than most.No - it stayed 2-1 because we missed some very good chances in that first half, that is really poor excuse Modo. My boy Downing could have had some more assists to his name BUT for bad finishing by some of our so called strikers, and goal-scorers. Please don't forget that the team we played is so down below us that I was actually shocked to learn the score was 2-1. That's the margin and score of last year against Manchester United.
