A horror show.
Way too passive and embarrassing defensive howlers early on which killed the game before it began.
What I'm more worried about is the formation and tactics. Playing Mallan and Allan in a diamond is just nuts, It's two centre midfielders who can't run or tackle, they're going to get over run against any half decent team. Too many times teams have more energy and legs than us in the middle of the park. Playing narrow against a team who's one mode of play is like the huns is also naive in the extreme. On the plus side we move the ball around very well but we cannot go into the derby playing in a similar fashion.
I'd need to see the sending off again, but my first hunch was porteous got the ball and it was a yellow at worst. Gerrard should be getting cited for his actions....xxxx arsehole.
