there is something not right about us right now....can't put my finger on it....its been there for several weeks
Absence of Ruiz, surely. No creativity in midfield and no good passes to Berbatov.
Exactly. No creativity. We don't look the same without him. 0-2 now. Game over.
Maybe its that simple. Ruiz was not back long enough to really get things going but we are really not very good in the midfield right now. So much so we should probably just sit back and play Hodgson style of game until we get someone in. Ruiz is not the answer because if he has proved one thing, it is he can't stay healthy. We need someone else. I think he needs to play in a league where its less physical. He is much better that way this year but he is becoming like AJ, we spend tons to get him, and he spends most of his time on the physio table. Lets hope this is his last injury for us.
I think are defensive woes are a function of no support, rather than inadequate players. Why are we to be surprised a giant of a man like Senderos is not a Panther and can be turned inside out by a pacey winger. I don't blame him. Its the high line that is getting us
