1st half
Horrible performance, good result. As ever we are sitting too deep and asking for trouble. Credit to Pacheco and Jova we aren't too narrow thanks to them, no doubt they will be subbed in the 75 min for CMs. As I see it so far then
Reina - few ropey moments on crosses, but otherwise excellent around the box.
Kelly - has struggled against their winger and fullback. Pacheco needs to help more
Soto - Big, ugly, ropey in possession. Winning lots of headers though
Wilson - raw and a little nervous looking
Aurelio - Konchesky, take note, see all those crosses coming from the wing? No, neither did I, stand out performer.
Pacheco - tidy in possession, has done some neat things, but looks like a fish out of water on the wing. Looks much better when he comes into the middle
Poulsen - honestly, hadn't realised he was playing, every now and again a glimpse of him arriving late into the middle, invisible
Jonjo - pedestrian, looks a bit cumbersome at times, some of is distribution has been sceptic, still holding the middle better than his partner
Jova - looks busy, working hard, has done well, good goal
Cole -awful. He's been huffing and puffing since kick off, clean through he stood on the ball.
Babel - been our best player so far, winning headers, creating goals... done well
Penguin watch - *rubs chin*
