I can't believe people are knocking Harry. If JD hadn't lost his goal scoring boots we'd be top four now. We lost tonight to one of the biggest teams in the world, in one of the best stadiums in the world, and that team just happens to be managed by one of the best managers in the world. They also happen to have the two most expensive players in the world - one of whom can only make their bench.
Are you kidding? People keep saying that 2 points from 8 games stuff but it doesn't mean we can't be critical of the past few weeks.
Why was VDV brought off at half time? And even more baffling, why did Defoe replace him instead of Pav? We needed someone to hold the ball up, give us time to move forward, instead it was just depressing watching long balls fly up to Defoe just losing the ball for us.
When Lennon was ruled out why on earth would we move our two best players out of position so that Jenas could play in the center?
It was just bad tactics (again) and no excuses for it really. Saying that I give Harry massive credit for developing our team and helping turn Bale, Modric, Sandro, etc, into great players but this is a different level where "just go out there and play your best" doesn't work, you need to know your opponents strengths and weaknesses and have a good strategy.
