Yup.He was not beaten at his near post! He was on his near post and the ball was laid square across the six yard line to the FAR post.
Never really been too bothered about this competition, but I am alarmed at the developing pattern of dreadful defending and lack of tempo.
Whatever happens in the next 45 minutes the big questions for me are about what we do in the next 2 league fixtures. Neither of the sides we face have looked convincing and seem to be having similar issues. Lose both heavily and Roberto will come under pressure like he has never seen. Shame as I desperately want him to succeed, but this is a results business and a cut throat one too.
You have to question Martinez here - he's not reacting tactically to the game in front of him if he isn't trying to address that right side. Lukaku for Eto'o this early isn't the answer surely.
Lukaku will pick up a knock now
