I'm not gobsmacked, I predicted 2-2
We simply haven't played that well yet, other than in spurts, against shite.
The team that we are playing today is poorer than last season. We like to have Benayoun in the side because he links to attack. Alonso used to do that, now we have to sacrifice width to do it. They have defended well, but they are also defending quite a small space, as we have no left flank, and the only way we have a right is with the full back. Given that they have pace on the counter, it's an issue.
