We had 2 strikers up front - Kalou and Shevchenko - plus 2 wingers in Malouda and Joe Cole. Kalou just isn't ready for this level yet (he's got potential, but a long way to go) and as hard as it has been to accept it, we definitely bought Sheva past his sell-by date (good business by Milan, despite all their public whining when he left).
albeit, we did hit the post twice... and that would never have been a free kick in England... (still it could've been worse, 2 goals in 8 mins anyone???)
