This is a game planned absolutely to a tee. Break away, get the pace of players breaking away. And who is it that breaks away? It's Ramirez, gets beyond the defence. And he's standing panicking here, trying to shoot on goal. If he puts it across, then who's there? You make a choice as manager. Do you go for Torres? Do you go for Drogba?
