That result is very hard to take felt we played reasonably well at times, thought Spearing was a little off right from the start to be honest too much of a gap between him and our 2 centre halves in the first half, Dempsey, Zamora and Dembele had far too much space just in front of our box not sure why Skrtel kept backing off either. not trying to upset anyone but felt it was a Red card all day long think it was a rush of blood to the head as he most certainly had not reason to go to ground.
Find myself blaming Johnson on the goal my love for Pepe has blinded me on his part in it, turning point was the foul on Adam still feel it was a peno and if we go 1 up dont think Spearing would have made such a challenge and How Dempsey wasnt sent off for his reaction to Craig Douglas Bellamy i cant understand and then for Bellamy to get booked for it is incredible!! Think Kenny got it wrong with the team he picked starting Carroll played straight into there hands, big Centre backs like Senderos and Haangeland love the sight of a big forward coming there way as they prefer the physical aspect of the game rather than having to mark a smaller, nippy forward with good close control and it must be hard to take for Maxi after playing so weel over the last few games to be dropped like that.
We were very unlucky with a couple of decisions but thought Adam was very good the 3 man centre midfield suits him so well and really happy with Agger, having him fit and healthy is such a massive boost and as for El Toro the lad just gets better and better. terrible result but there are some positives
