I thought we were reasonable for the most part.

Dunne lost his man for their goal.  Carew needs to pull his finger out.

you know, we still don't seem to be able to retain possession well at all. We seem to be either in full attack mode or under pressure. I am sure GH will change this eventually.

It looks like, for spells, we have a new game plan but then drift back to O'Neill's style. Force of habit, possibly.

Never thought I'd say this but we really missed Heskey when he went off. He seems revitalised since Houllier arrived.  Surely time for a better song for him - "he used to be shite but now he's alright" not exactly encouraging!

Missing Emile up front. Carew needs to get moving. Or we need to slip Ash out wide and drop Downing or Albrighton to the stands, and get...oh fuck...Sidwell on. Once Petrov's legs go in 10 minutes, Spurs will stampede all over us, especially if the ball doesn't stick up front.

Lennon on for them - who said earlier he'd come on and terrorise Warnock?!

Definitely, it will take time to put things right.

He used to play for the shite, but now he's alright.

Downing, why on earth did you hit that with your left foot?
