Fergal - Cuellar.

I think we are dragging them down to our level.

 A bit better, a bit of urgency. Now if we had a midfielder instead of Heskey and Albrighton was on the correct side, we might do better.

Positives.. we haven't conceded, and we haven't really came close to conceding.

Assuming we become a better attacking side in the second half (as we can't possibly be worse), things are looking okay.
They hit the post, how close do they need to get?

Given had that covered. Had he been saved by the post I'd agree.
He let it hit the post on purpose?

He'd need to have balls the size of coconuts to have done that.

Where Keane got the ball there is where Ash used to get it. He'd then rip down the left, skin the full back before crossing to Carew or Gabby. Fuck me...

I think that sums up the tactics in this match. They have a throw in in line with the 18 yard box. We have all 11 players in the final third and they still have three back on the halfway line. So any clearance comes straight back.

Agreed as long as the right players go off.
We certainly need more numbers in MF - they're cramping us every time we have the ball.
