Disappointing result really, we were the better team even before Adebayor being sent off. Frustrating as hell again especially late on those subs really were disappointing, we didn't push all out for victory. Babel looks half the player he was last year, really looks out of match sharpness, but I guess it's a cache 22.
Gutted RVP scored because usually in those positions (and in even better positions on his left) he powers them with great technique and power into the side boards, Reina was late to move to his near post as well. But then again Keano has been less than stellar...
A joke of a red card for Ade, cards ruined the game which was great in the first half. Ref turned it into a grudge match. My first reaction was he must have mouthed off at the ref, because he couldn't go for that.
