Constantly losing headers to their strikers all game.
Just before half time a throw in came towards him. He failed to control it. Poached by their player. Put team under pressure. There were a few other occasions where he was snoozing when people passed to him.
Trying to bring the ball out of defence on several occasions A La Distin and giving it away by being tackled or passing to an opponent.
On 90% of occasions hoofing hopeful balls towards Adebayor. To a player who clearly is crap at it, and also by-passing the midfield and
ruining our distribution from defence which had been much better while he was away on African Nations duties.
Without going into the rest,
are you really sure that our quality of distribution was better without him?
Seems that 'Scape' and 'Goat' springs to mind here! Where's that Micah Guy......sure he'd get it as well!

I am
I take it that's an 'I am'? I disagree and think that Kolo adds far more to the squad than he detracts. Don't get me wrong, I believed that Dunney gave us more, but in the absence, he gives far more than any other defensive player we have.

I know, but that was for tonight. He is getting better and I do think he'll take us further up the ladder, however the back 4 still don't seem to be fully compus mentus. Kolo seems to have taken over the Dunney crown without actually doing anything wrong.

Try Toure at RB. He is not good enough in the air to be a CB and with regards to his positioning he is quite often on the wrong side of a striker which may not be as damaging out wide. Zabba needs taking out of the back 4 as his discipline is often found wanting which results in bookings and needless free kicks putting us under more pressure.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.
