I thought that, 1st half, the tactics were ok -- let them push up, win the ball from them with their men ahead of the ball and break hard. Eriksen missed, Lennon f**ked up his touch and that kinda summed it up. The team was doing ok, but the wide players for us were utter sh1te today. It happens I suppose, as they have been two of our best players lately.
2nd half, we were still in it but Rose than made a massive error and that was that.
Was disappointed with the team once they went 2-0 down; why is Dawson taking a short roll-our from lloris with 10 mins to go, 2-0 down in a cup tie? Surely, get him up there and start going direct at that point?
Also, imo, we didn't get enough crosses into the box -- was a bit AVB-esque the way we kept going out wide, then coming back inside, across the pitch, inside again etc. We've scored some good goals lately from crosses (Utd and Southampton come to mind) and yet we hardly bothered with them today.
I'm going off topic, so yeah...I don't think our centre midfield is poor, I think they are pretty good.
