"In the second half we dominated the game on a difficult pitch - again we're talking about the pitch - but I feel for Atdhe at the end there with the chance he's created for himself.

"He's gone to side-foot it and it's bobbled up and it's ended up going off his shin which is very frustrating.

"I wanted a response. On Tuesday we were very poor against Ipswich (in a 2-1 defeat) and I can't fault the effort. Again it's just that little missing piece of the jigsaw."

SG's waffling and excuse making makes me want to do this:

The bugger missed an open goal from 6 yards? My 6 year old grandson would have put that one in. But, I see, it's all the pitch's fault. Right.
