When need a vocal leader on the pitch.
Falcao, who may have been shit, was marshalling players around him. Using his experience.
Our boys had no-one. We need a Daws. A guy to marshall, to command, to tell players what to do sometimes.
We lacked discipline at important junctures in the game, which is to be expected with a young side. But we do lack a vocal experienced head on the pitch. Someone to reign Dele in, to calm Dier down. To tell players not to fall for the same thrown in like amateurs twice in a row which lead to our 2nd goal.
It's all well and good having Hugo as our captain, and I'm not moaning at the choice but we need a leader on the pitch. Toby and Jan are more your lead by example types.
The only guy I saw trying to do this was Ben fucking Davies (who although not the player Rose is, was decent tonight).
Also, Kane needs resting. He's knackered, and losing confidence. Janssen looked decent when he came on, although our shape and control was fucked by the tactical change.
Janssen's hold up play with Dele making the runs he does could work really well.
Oh, and he's backkkkkkkk...
