Lucas was awful today but I thought Poulsen especially in the 2nd half was OK. He doesnt have the tackling ability of Mascherano but seems more aware of forward runs and trying to pick out a pass.

One thing I noticed was that we are actually leaving Torres on the half way line at corners rather than have everyone back. I am sure we will benefit from this on occasions when Reina gets the ball and releases it quickly.

It looks to me as if we have used all the Mascherano money on Meireles
