"Did we play that badly ?
#####################################
Err... YES, we bloody well did.
I know it was their cup final, but we were 2-0 up and still looked lethargic.
Ibe should be nowhere near the first team.
Fantastic future but he needs to go out on loan to a Championship club for a season.
Wisdom ? OMG - Hope that's the last time he plays like that, a shocker.
As for Sturridge, I think he's very unfit or he overdoes it with his constant runs into the channels and also dropping very deep, picks the ball up, passes and virtually sprints back up front again, that saps energy. Tell him to play on the shoulder of the last man for God's sake.
I thought Ibe played very well, especially for a 17 year old, Andre didn't have the best of games, but by the same token didn't have a disaster. These are young guys, they were up against a very physical, determined team who, while lacking in class were total in their commitment for their fans and themselves. We won, end of.
With Kolo I think it was a case of trying too hard, Joe put himself about but was up against some heavy dudes. While Cissoko is supposed to be OK, I think it high time for Kyriakois to be signed, either him or Sakho(?) from PSG.
