    Same as Newcastle game our midfield was too deep and allowed an unmarked central midfielder to boss the game. Luongo and Boryborrocks for me.
    Both capable of forward passes. Henry tends to mark an area not a player.

      Exactly. Luongo and Ariel / Sandro. I keep saying it because its a fact: we sit that bit deeper with Henry on the park because he patrols further back.

      It is disturbing that defensively the Newcastle lesson was completely unlearned.

        Totally agree. The failure to man mark someone when they are clearly having a training game is beyond me.

          Henry was so valuable against Fulham because he basically covers anyone in defence who needs it. When you're going to a place where counter attacking is a problem, Henry is actually a really good option.
