Jol gets it wrong.

I am not usually one to criticise Jol as he has done good things for the club and I still feel he can take us places but he got it wrong today. The scum were there for the taking in my opinion with three first team players out either injured or suspended and a game in midweek while we had the week off. However we looked to contain the filth instead of going for them like Bolton and Fulham did. Keane was told to drop deep and stop Fabregas from playing but he did not do very well and Tainio was not in the game in the first half. We allowed the scum to put Lennon out of the game - they put three on him, but did not use the space this created elsewhere on the pitch. Berbatov was isolated and found it difficult to get into the game.

We should have played our usual 4-4-2 formation and kept with JD. I'm no massive fan of Defoe but he worked very well with Berbatov against Wigan and his pace would have given the scum back four more to worry about.

The ref had his role to play with three lousy decisions costing us three goals. Both penalties were joke decisions and the dodgy offside saw us two nil down at half time and out of the game. But I agree with Jol here - we cannot put too much onto the ref (even tho he cost us three goals) as we did not turn up in the first half. We allowed the goons to pass around us and we gave them far too much respect. Zokora and Tainio should have been in hard on their two central midfield players but more often than not we were left chasing shadows - the display all round was just not good enough.

Hopefully we can get this defeat out of the system quickly with a win against 'Boro but unless we start picking up away points very quickly we shall find ourselves back in mid table rubbish once again.

Oh, and scum fans - crap support as usual deciding to finally make any real noise when you went 3-0 up - Pathetic, as usual.

COYS!
