The rest of the midfield handled them fine, Guthrie was definitely the weak link. I don't think he was awful, but he wasn't very good.
So Guthrie isn't as good as Jonas or Tiote? Well we all knew that. Nolan and Barton wouldn't have done much better in that CM space today.
I personally think barton would have.
BTW,wheres this "guthrie can't do right" statement come from? the impression I've always had is that the vast majority of posters on here have been very patient with him. too patient imo.
He comes out and gives a decent performance and all anybody has is criticism for him. I've never seen 'the usual suspects' give him any prasie whatsoever.
Well, I particularly like Guthrie as a player, just think he's struggled this season. I think I've given the impression of it being a decent performance by him, but it could've been much better. Don't think he's exactly deserving of praise when you have an okay game.
