Completely disagree with you on these four points.
Bruno was constantly out of position and weak in the tackle. Made 2 or 3 key errors (one for the goal that cost us the game) and then argued with the other defenders as if it were their fault. Not that he's a bad player, just had a bad game in my opinion.
JFC played in Buckley for the one-on-one in the second half (which should have one us the game), so he contributed something which could well have been crucial to the outcome of the match. Him and Lingard (and March once) were the only players willing to pick the ball up in between the Sheff Wed defence and midfield and try to run at their defence. Lingard also ran the channels well but was not supported by a very weak Rodriguez.
As for Oscar, the football we play is a million times more entertaining than the drivel we saw from Sheff Wed tonight, lumping it forward at every opportunity and attempting to capitalise on opposition mistakes. If you watch Top level football all around Europe, you can see what we play is the trend and clearly is the way forward. I appreciate we may be missing a few players to complete the team but it will come.

I go more with Kingston Seagull on the analysis. JFC has had some stick for his performance - but I felt he was contributing a lot. Sheffield Wednesday were appalling for most of the match - or perhaps we had much more desire because we won so much of the ball and kept it for most of the match. Yes we are not clinical, but Rodriguez, Lingard and Buckley was a pretty patched up strike force. Buckley scored twice at Bolton and should have done so here too. (Still in Sheffield)
