They have a particularly poor roster of CBs imo.
Agger is the only one I remotely rate as an actually talented player these days, and even he hasn't looked good in a while.
Wonder when Wilson will force his way into the first team picture?
To be honest, after the goal and in the early stages I thought they were there for the taking. We sat back and allowed them to ease their way back into the game, and tbf they dominated pretty much the whole of the second half.
Get him a shrink or something. Definite mental block with him in this league, he's got enough about him to give players problems and be a genuine threat.
I like him, but can't help feel he's another top 4 cast off who simply isn't the complete package.
He didn't play as bad today as you're making out though.
Over the moon with a point.
Can't help but feel we should have really got at them when they were rattled early on, though. Instead we allowed them to have the ball and work their way back into the game.
I think Benitez has been told to play a more open game, yet things are just shitter. Simply don't have the players to play expansive football.
Cassano would help, though.
