Scraping by...again

At the end of the season it won't matter, of course; but the win over Sunderland revealed a lack of urgency and passion that was worrying.

The attitude of some players was almost unbelieveable. No fighting for second ball, an inability to read the game and when to know to hold the ball and when to release quickly. And at times our midfield and defensive four appeared to be on a different page. As for the so-called strikers...

Two years ago Morientes was the top scorer in the European Cup and Cisse was the top scorer in France. Can't imagine how they managed those records on the strength of recent performances.

And now learn that Gerrar is out of the Sofia game with a calf injury but will be back for Friday's Super Cup game in Monaco...For God Sake Rafa, don't risk him!
