We gave away 15 corners and something like 26 freekicks. People will blame the ref but even accounting for that, that's just too many. Away at somewhere like Everton who have Baines for delivery and Fellaini in the box, you just can't give that many away.

I'm more annoyed with Clark's defending than Vlaar's. Clark's just always giving away freekicks and he got turned far too easily for their first. He gets bullied too easily. Benteke must love training.

He might want to reign in the shirt pulling too, sooner or later a referee will decide to make an example of him.

Yeah that's where a lot of the freekicks come from. One day he'll concede a penalty doing that.

  To be fair he was marking a £15/20m player today, whos strengths are in the air.We gave away too much in midfield, and need to keep the ball better in midfield.

 I thought apart from the goal today Vlaar played well.

Why, oh why, did we not go for Upson? On-loan to Brighton instead.
I hope it wasn't cos of the chants DC5 has been refreshing over the last few days.

Eh?

Was surprised with Everton, I didn't realise how much they relied on punting it up to the big man.

Maybe they considered the strengths (?) and weaknesses of their opponents and adapted their tactics accordingly.  You don't have to be particularly insightful to see our centre backs, particularly the ever woefeul Clark, are crap, and that such a tactic might reap dividends.

I really never understood this 'concrete' nick name, it's the last thing i'd compare him to.

Clark has been awful for ages now, really needs to be taken out of the team a while but guess which genius manager decided not to bring in a CB this window.
