it was a bad mistake ,,but he was unlucky it hit ivo ...but surely you expect the media to search for our smallest mistakes and magnify them to epic proportions. imo our opponents were excellent going forward and will test all defences... just heard an idiot expert on sky ...say if chelsea get injuries to Drogba and essien ..man u will be right back at us .. he cant have realised essien missed almost all last year and drog was away for about 7 weeks .. same idiot said if manure got hargreaves and carrick back man u s midfield prroblems would be solved .. all this not from a wum on 606 but a paid sky pundit...
under no pressure ,,flapped at a cross ,,missed it ,,,it hit ivo and was crossing the line when the scorer touched it. to be fair they deserved a goal on their second half display
could essien be lampards successor ...in the two games frank has been away he has scored 3 and got into much more advanced positions . before people scream I dont mean now but in two years time perhaps ...I am becoming confident that we will have ready made replacements when our older players need resting or finally retire ...looks as tho anelka has another ten years left
