Basically, the gist of what BC is saying is that whatever the plan, the front four as a unit (with Adebayor and to a lesser extent Eriksen particularly culpable) didn't enact the defensive side of it very well. The rest of the team were much better, but the overall performance would have been greatly improved had the likes of ade given a shit, and actually mustered more than an amble when they had the ball and he was the nearest man, and if he wasn't forever jogging into an area where he couldn't do much good, seemingly to ensure he wouldn't have to be in the area he would have done some good, I suspect because that would have involved more graft than he was prepared to offer.
On a side-note, my personal suspicion with Ade is that he doesn't agree with the way Poch has asked him to play and so he's doing his selfish and cowardly work to rule type protest.
Ah right, I could of sworn that he labelled it a piss poor performance, must of missed that caveat, coincidentally enough, that the rest of the team were much better and it was just the guys up top that didn't enact the defensive side well enough.
Still, that's progress if he's conceding that much.
