The point I made is - we were hoofing away at the back being under pressure for most the game. Their long balls to Carroll were attacking passes not defensive blocks. I can recall Parker along stopping at least 5 attacks from our left after BAE was beaten yet again.
The original point was focused around the (outrageous in my view) claim of us matching their possession and being better in midfield. This has been now lost via side arguments so little left to argue
Jesus Christ, not the old BAE beaten again thing...why do you think Scotty P was shielding the defense? Because as great as Ledders is, it's all positional, all in his head and virtually out of his legs; Benny has to check inside to try and cover a larger area than if, say, Kaboul, is playing. Because Ledders cannot move like he used to. Thus why Scotty P had to cover deeper, and why Benny might've been caught out/saved by him a couple of times...
