I would probably stand there as well. Wes Brown is always suspect back there and Manure's midfield really looks weak tonight. I also do not think Smith can excel deep in midfield.
43' Ibrahimovic (Juventus) is booked.It has not been a great night to be a striker and Ibrahimovic, hardly renowned for keeping his emotions in check, lets his frustration come to a head as he sends Valérien Ismaël flying with a late tackle.
So anybody whose watching the match...how have we played thus far? I take it we are sucking it up again with the comments seen in this thread. Capello's decisions look suspect again.
Don't try to protect Del Piero, I'm just saying that he isn't playing well. Vieira is wasting too many passes. Didn't see him fouling that much though.

No we're playing pretty good actually, imo. Its really even at this point. At some points we're a little shaky in the defense. Trezeguet missed a huge oportunity, though.

It wasn't a late tackle, it was an intentional kick after play stopped, it was minor and thats why the yellow card, if it were harder/more dramatic surely he would've got a red.
