If we had either Lamps or Essien we would've won 2-0. The midfield was overpowered with only Yuri/Ramires anchoring it, Mikel played all the way back and his long passes couldnt connect up front. Malouda/JT/Cech were the only players that showed up today. IMO, Florent should've played mid while Zhirkov operates the left wing position. Having said that, i'm sure we'll get them back at the bridge. We didn't go through last season undefeated to win the double, you can't win them all and I much rather learn from this now and move on while the season is still early.
