excellent result, and fantastic performance from crouchie... thought overall our performance was a strange one...very threatening, and potent, but sloppy in possession...xabi, mascherano and gerrard in particular...all the team worked hard and we were excellent when not in possession....pennant was excellent and worked hard throughout, aurelio was very assured and showed some excellent touches in defence, possession and attack, gozales was poor first half but did show glimpses of what he can do given the ball in front of him, getting three really good dangerous crosses in...and kuyt looked like the automatic replacement for gerrard (showing influence and control), and did show that his first touch is as good as most (but not as good as crouchie's....crouch mom, followed by pennant and aurelio
excellent win, should provide plenty of positives going into the pvc game
