That's a very detailed analysis, Slick - if you're not a Head Coach somewhere you're in the wrong job!
I didn't see the game last night, but although I have no reason to doubt a word of your analysis, I personally still wouldn't criticise AP regarding the team selection etc last night. It was a very hard game v Liverpool which threw up (was it) 3 injuries.....Brunty and Barry, because of their years, were being saved for Saturday as I would think Phillips was too.
Saturday IS the big one which must be targetted - lose that one and we ARE in the poo.
In my eyes AP can be totally forgiven for (almost) writing this one off before kick off considering Saturdays game and the time he must've put in during the last 10 or so days of the transfer window
