Well that sucks
Good thing this game doesn’t matter
he was the last of four at fault there
Arshavin, Djourou, and Squillaci all should have prevented that.
This is true
but did you see how far off his line he came for a ball he was never going to get? That was bad keeping, compounding bad defense.
Argh!
Just when I thought Squillers was coming around!

What the hell Mannone?
Carter Jurica!

WTF was that...
It was like everybody licked frogs in the dressing room before the game. I never would have believed that Don Vito was capable of such silliness until it happened.
