Álvaro Arbeloa

[Ruislip White]

The tactics were right for 70 plus minutes - but the late game management was questionable yet again.  Cairney was a good substitution.  Bringing Sess onto right wing and Palacios on up top made no sense at all.   Surely Anderson into defence and possibly Muniz up top for Garcia for an outlet would have been logical.
We avoided yet another late disaster despite his substitutions. 
Hull were awful, and a better team would have punished us.
Still completely unconvinced - that unless we are 2-0 up at 80 mins,  Arbeloa will be able to win games at this level.
