It was never going to be easy. We’ve hit a little trough, hampered by a few injuries and lost a bit of momentum.
Anderson after promising much in some earlier games appears to be getting stuck in the same old habits of trying to do too much early and then tiring dramatically in the second half. Fletch is nowhere near the match sharpness of a couple of years ago and the continuing TV/RB situation is starting to really burn my cookies. Nani showed that he can’t turn it on very game, which is only reasonable. Rooney and Chicha were always going to be ‘sluggish’ after their respective injury troubles. Most dissapointing for me was Evans who just seemed to lose position early and never recover.
Nice to see Ando on the scoresheet again. And I almost got the score right.
