An utterly miserable game. I went from the thriller between Samp and Juventus to this kick and rush garbage. This 4-4-1-1 formation is stiffer than a corpse and offers nothing in an offensive sense. I don't know how both wingers stayed on past half way, let alone till fulltime. If our only tactic was to get it out wide (mostly because Birmingham did a tremendous job collapsing quickly and then piling bodies up through the middle of the pitch) then why on Earth were we playing with only one striker, and one who won't win any aerial battles against a pair of solid centre-halves? And why wouldn't the opposite winger ever get himself into the box? Birmingham can be pretty devastated about the fact they didn't win this one. With Torres' lingering injury eating away at his body, our best player by a clear margin is Pepe Reina. He really was tremendous today.
