Poor refereeing in the first half cost us, but that doesn't take away from the fact that we were pretty awful in the first 45 minutes. We improved in the 2nd, but still didn't create many chances.

Walcott was excellent in the 2nd half and scored a great goal, and shows why he thoroughly deserves his new contract. Despite some people saying he doesn't deliver in big games, he's the player I'd want 1 on 1 in a big game like this.

Our record in the big games is poor this season, so getting 4th is going to depend on us not screwing up against the lesser lights.
