Perspective for what? Our suicidal start to the first half? They were always going to be better that the crap they showed first half. We should have been composed enough to withstand the inevitable first 15 min in which Mowbray was evidently going to get them fired up for. Instead we pisch about at the back and show absolutely appalling game management.

Perspective as in, we havent played bad for 75 minutes

And that's the one thing I have got against Rooney...he's been asked about it in interviews and basically said we carry on playing that way.Why god only knows....I think we've scored about one goal playing from the back...and conceded about 15...plus countless other times when we have just got away with it.Madness!

That's not particularly true. Playing out from the back draws them into a tight press, which we have wide runners ready to receive to beat the press in our own half.

A lot of you would have us believe that there's two types of football. There's "hoofball", and "tippy-tappy from the back". If that's how you simplify things, I can't explain how naive you are being

Management could of avoided this. No reaction to the changes made by the opposing manager. Shocking leadership and decision making by Rooney and Co. again. No doubt he will blame the ref and praise effort 

I wouldn’t necessarily say it was shocking management. The players just panicked and didn’t do their jobs.

Problem is we don’t play it out successfully. We delay, hesitate and either panic hoof it or lose it. Very rarely can we do it. We are not good enough to do it so play to your strengths not weaknesses.

Birmingham bring on bigger players and play more physical, we keep a midfield 3 of Bird, Knight and Thompson for 25 mins in second half. Change it

No wonder we’re losing if we’re playing against Birmingham at the same time!
