Mario made big difference second half

Agreed, Sturridge was marked out completely in the First half and bringing on another striker sorted that problem.
But I still couldn't get Y Markovic?

I thought he was excellent tonight bar a few stray shots.what a diff a goal makes .saying that he isn't a good fit for the team and I'd still get rid at the end of the season.

Mario can definitely do a job for us. He can replace Stevie's free kicks. And he seems to link up well with studge.

Have to agree hopefully the penny has dropped I've always said needs a run and hopefully now can be a success.
also joe alen maybe he needs the same one thing here is when gerrard not in the team allen plays well

Mate I am not sure how isn't he fit with the system?

We tried to score the perfect pass and move goal in tech first half with all our creative players involved and we were unsuccessful

Man UTD dominated English football with two wingers, Paul Scholes and two strikers upfront.

There is no system if you could cut back some crosses to the 6 yard box given one of Mario or Sturridge is inside.

They system BR actually played in the first half of the season has cost us the top 4 already.

Are you trying to say We should continue the system.

If it's about high pressing, Then like Ed01 said other day apart from Henderson I have hardly seen people pressing high.

Just my opinion mate.

Mike, he's had a run of games and plenty of them for that matter.

I hear an argument that he requires a second striker alongside him, but he struggled on his own because he didn't run, he sulked and he was lazy.

Yes, there's a slight improvement, but Borini still offers much more, even if he isn't good enough in some people's eyes.

I mean his mentality. Fine he had pressed the last few games but his attitude up to this has been shocking. I like him to be honest but I just don't see him tracking back and closing people down when we're at places like burnley, palace, etc and chasing a point.rodgers won't play two up front since Suarez has left, which I think he has shown he needs

Best fans, Palace defended in numbers for many periods of the game.

Two goals is a moderate achievement considering the circumstances i.e Cup game, away with a brick wall in front of the players.

Palace couldn't get out of their own half!!

That indicates a strong pressing game to me.

Disagree mate. Just have a re-look, Palace sat deep and allowed us to play only to counter attack (Surprising though
We never pressed them or chased them.
They made us narrow and we never used our width, ( Moreno had no influence in the first half and so does Markovic )
