Midfield is the root cause of all the problems, they can't retain possession so strikers are dropping deep. Even when they get the ball, they are outnumbered something like 1 against 4 or 5 defenders.
Cole and Young missed. Pirlo scored an amazing penalty.
Thought the defence were good all night, Carroll, too, but the rest were pretty poor/awful. How Milner started all four matches is beyond me.
Well, there you go. At least we didn't go out with a whimper-couldn't do anymore but we were outplayed simple as. Why Young was picked though I haven't a clue.
