He obviously wanted to put faith into his players but to keep them playing when there were options made no sense at all. Zab would've given us a lot more on the right, and the earlier inclusion of AJ would've at least given us a better chance. Saying that, as he kept Edin on, why not play Silva and AJ in the positions where they can most effect the play.
Overall, a poor attacking performance. Carlos was non-descript.
I think Carlos' play was part of the problem, coming far too deep to look for and receive the ball, leaving Dzeko as the only target. Even when he was forced wide, Tevez and midfielders were far too sluggish and cumbersome in getting forward, and Villa's defence got back in numbers quickly.
Very true Manx mate, who do you think was missing who could've injected that will to win?
