WTF?!?!?!? His only decent touch of the ball was his penalty, every pass he made went straight to one of their players! Surely over the whole match Croutch deserved it, or even Beckham, who once again showed that he, if no one else in the team, actually cared. As for your other mentions there, Carson regained his composure well as the game went on, which I think speaks volumes for him, and I believe he will (given some time) be the man between the sticks. Bridge had an absolute shocker, which is a shame because I like him. Campbell did his best to keep a dreadful back 4 together. Richards tried, but he basically ended up running around like a headless chicken. Barry... I don't even remember hearing his name or seeing him with the ball. I would have liked to have seen him forward in Lampard's place, and had Hargreaves giving the very inexperienced back 4 some cover. For me, the worst man on the pitch was Joleon Lescott. He tried, but he is way way way out of his league at that level!
