James said:I haven't had the chance to see it on the tele, but it looked to me as if he had Ferdinand on the back foot, and all it took was a simple touch out of his feet, and he was through. Can't believe he decided to try and pass it.ricky1985 said:- Walcott had by far our best chance of the night. When he tried that little chip through ball to Ade - HE HAD TO GO FOR GOAL! HAD TO!!! He had Ferdinand in all kinds of trouble, and if he had drove towards goal he was in one-on-one, but he chose the easy option. Very poor from Theo.
I also think that United gave it away far more cheaply than we did. We just had nothing creative, or that bit of magic in the final third to break through them.
It was terrible mate. Ferdinand was in a world of trouble, because he didn't know whether to try and prevent the path to goal for Walcott or hold his position and block the pass to Ade. Walcott disgraced himself there frankly. The ball was on his right foot, all he had to do was push it 3 yards forward and he was one-on-one with Van Der Sar.
It was symptomatic of his night.....He was overcome by nerves, and as a team we had too many like that.
