He saw more ball in the first half because of the formation - nowt to do with
the fact we were defending. We weren't ! We had about 70% of the posession (did
nowt with it like - mainly because of Douglas).
Howson was on the right wing and Deplh pushed to the left of midfield.
Yes, I'm sure all the players love him - have you heard their comments about
Prutton also ? - he too is loved. Tells us nowt.
Douglas can do a job in this league if he learns his limitations. I've always
said that but he hasn't managed to do that yet and if Macca continues to play
formations like what he did in the 1st half we'll just have to suffer.
Ultimately he will always think he's better than he is so we'll have to
continue to put up with the Glenn Hoddle impressions. I mean, some of those
little dinks he tried with the outside of the boot in that first half were just
embarassing.
