Let's face it lads, that was another game we could have, and should have won considering we had more opportunities and chances to score than they did.
We would have had at least had a draw had it not been for Darlow's woeful fumble, and a noted striker like Rooney quick to capitalize on it.
Both Shelvey's yellow cards were warranted, both unnecessary and mindless challenges.
We are in a desperate position, no traction on a super-slippery slope, and it can only get worse with games ahead. I believe our only salvation lies in how much spending money will be made available in January, and who, how many, and what quality, additions will be made to the squad.
As for Benitez, he has to prove to me he is as good as a lot of you keep saying. Dropping Hayden and starting Diame doesn't prove much to me by my standards.
I honestly believe that with the stock we currently have in the warehouse, I could put a better product over the counter to please the customers.
Tin-hat and body armour on!
