The ref aside, I thought we were very poor tonight - especially in the second half. It looked like one of those angst-ridden CL performances under Manicini where we just froze. Kompany had been playing like a god in the league for weeks, just to turn into a nervous under 14 player come CL Tuesday.
Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but does anyone agree that Walker is a bit of a weak link in this team. I know that we don't really have a left back at the moment and that that issue is more pressing, but I think walker is very shaky defensively - I crap my pants every time he's in a one on one and he also flies into reckless tackles (could have had a red tonight). Still, I don't think he does enough going forward to compensate.
I'm not looking for scapegoats, it's just a discussion I think has got lost among the Mendy/Delph/Gundo talk.
