Some thoughts

[Tyler]

Alonso is going through a bit of a dip in form. Maybe time to give him a rest - send him to Spain for a holiday for a week?

 

Also, why is Garcia being left out - is he still carrying an injury.

 

I think we are playing well at the moment but we are not taking our chances and if you don't take advantage when you are dominating and the other team scores then the match is flipped on its head.

 

Played Charlton off the park last night and then they grabbed two goals and we looked like we wouldn't score if the game went on until midnight.

 

Not sure if there is anything to be done except for the players to keep plugging away and working hard. All this talk of fatigue becomes self fulfilling - if you are winning, players don't get tired. Having said that some players look like they could use with some freshening up.

 

I think Cisse deserves a run in the team (with Fowler available to come on as a sub for the last 25 minutes) with one of Crouch or Morientes.

 

Maybe Champions League can lift us or maybe its a distraction and the players are playing with one eye on the Benfica game.
