I also said he did a lot of good stuff, which he did. he's played pretty well of

late but the problem with our team is that as well as they play they've all got a f*8k up in them most weeks and I think Howson did not track back well enough for the goals.

The player we most missed was Tettey because there is no way in the world he would have allowed their player to be totally unmarked like that for the second. He might have hacked them down and got his 75th yellow of the season though!

I like the suggestion of Tettey and Howson in central midfield for the rest of the season. Find it frustrating to see how Howson is wasted out wide whilst also denying one of our attacking midfielders a game as well.
