Lost first half 0-1
Drew second 2-2
Glad Wanyama saved for City on Saturday.
Little mention that Cork crossed to Lambert for Ossies goal.
We road our luck earlier in the season so tonight was just one of those things. Shame came so close to Arsenal Chelsea with City next

Yes need quality cover but also cut out the stupid mistakes that will ruin our season

It was Fonte who crossed the ball not cork

Wanyama was on crutches after the game so not sure he will be fit for Saturday. Also it was Jose who crossed for Osvaldo's goal not Cork

It's fair to say that mistakes cost us dearly last night. Mistake from Yoshida for the first goal, trying to intercept the pass, and for the second Cork got caught in possession - Interestingly Maya was hanging too deep for the second goal, which allowed Kozac to push further forward.

Both Cork and Yoshida haven't been playing, and to a degree it showed.

Unlucky to lose as we were clearly the better team. Bad decision to play Yoshida when we didn't need to. He is just not good enough. We need a CB and also cover for Shaw. The front line looks good with J-Rod, Ricky and Osvaldo plus Adam floating behind. We should have won 2-0 and probably more, but the defence, Lovren apart, was not good enough. What we desperately need is one if not two genuine wingers with speed. We are relying on Shaw and Clyne to play dual roles of defender and winger, and it is not working. Both are good in defensive. Clyne is not quick enough or clever enough going forwards. Luke is better but not brilliant at it. Finally, stating the obvious, we need a second string classy goalkeeper pdq. Keeping the faith as we are clearly better than about 10 or 11 teams in the league, but we will need to invest wisely if we are to progress beyond 8th or 9th.

Reminds me of the start of last season, when we played Man City, Man U, Wigan and Arsenal. When your playign those boys the pressure to beat the Wigans or Villas of this world to make up for the other 3 difficult games becomes too much. Well let's hope we don't lose 6-1 on Saturday

Icehorse Saint, agree with what you are saying except for the bit about Clyne - He is very, very quick!
