Read a lot but don't post very often. We are crying out for someone in midfield to take the others along by the scruff of the neck and control possession on a regular basis. I don't know if we can afford someone on a permanent basis or whether it would need to be a loan - all I know is that it can't be Digby, Bailey or Berry. Hourihane's talents lie in a different role and he can't do the dirty work needed. In the grand scale of things today doesn't count for much but for what it's worth I would have liked to see us fight a little harder than we did - Chelsea outclassed us but we ran our blood to water to keep them out. That never say die attitude is the least we should expect for anyone in a Red shirt.
He means one of the mascots, a young lass called Chelsea (from a benefits claiming council house single parent family obviously), outclassed us in the pre match warm up.
Sorry to disagree but I thought we beat Chelsea on merit and they never outclassed us during any stage of the match.
