Enter the Falqon?We need someone in the middle who will actually move into space when it's there. Huddlestone, Sigurdsson and Dempsey just stand and pass it sideways. We're not going to open Wigan up if something doesn't change.

What seems eveident to me, after a sleepy first half, is that this side if becoming lazy. There needs to be competition for places, where possible. You play the same first eleven game after game then they will think that are assured starts. I appreciate that some players are injuryed, but when you have players like Adebayor sitting on the bench doing bugger all you aren't putting pressure on players like Defoe or Dempsey.The game hasn't even started yet, let's just see what happens
Agreed - Defoe is only effective when we are able to move the ball quickly into the final third, and we are not doing that at all today.Need Ade for holdup play...
