Agreed, absolute shambles. Defence was a joke - although I'd still defend Baines - and the midfield all over the show. They all seemed to be disjointed and a little confused about what they should be doing. Fellaini tried; Rodwell should not have to shoulder so much; Cahill way too deep; Gosling isolated - made me have a little more sympathy for Osman; and Billy doesn't seem to like making runs (maybe he's more of a centre-mid?).
Yak's not fit.
The tactics aside, Distin & Yobo's display was the worst thing about the game.
Benfica weren't even trying. They must have been laughing at us.
