Another bad day at the office, and this time we cannot blame Rafa`s tactics or selection even though i thought taking Pennant off was crazy, he looked the most likely to open up their defence.
But our problems seem much deeper than Rafa`s tactics or team selection, we seem to have lost the `every loose ball is a battle to win´ team spirit that we had last season. Sloppy defending once again let us down, and i think its time we looked on Sami as a last choice and looked more at Agger and Paletta.
But the most worrying thing about todays game was our reaction after they scored, we did not react at all, it was the same slow tempo instead of hunting for the equalizer. And to be totally honest we were lucky to get even 1 point from the game after they somehow missed an empty goal near the end.
People may say dont panic its so early in the season, but we need to turn our form around right now just to get a champions league spot, and those pre-season dreams of winning the title....just not back going backwards and finishing worse than last year would be an achievement right now because of our current form!
