Great performance and a very entertaining game.
Gabby - brilliant, didn't put a foot wrong, terrified their defense, scored a goal.
JC - brilliant, controlled with head, chest, feet, laid off, made assists, scored. Wow! Pity that thunderous shot didn't go in in the second half (shoot! shoot!).
Milner - great workrate, some really good touches and skills occasionally. A real pro! Shite pen but well done for following up!
NRC - looked very comfortable in the middle. Never seemed over-stretched.
Ash - Scored and had an assist and a great free kick at the end, but, he wasted lots of crosses, maybe 9 out of 10 which is astonishing.
I keep expecting the Ash of last year and he is not back yet. Fingers crossed that he will!
Sidwell - hmmm, I don't see why many on here say he was good. Apart from one or two runs and a couple of tackles everything else was dire. very poor player, gave away lots of fouls too and on another day would have been carded. Surely Delph or Gardner would be better?
Luke Young, Warnock, Dunne, Cuellar were all strong and confident. Nice to see. Great goal Carlos!
Delfouneso and Delph looked bright when they came on. Really pleased to see them play though a bit longer would have been better. The Fonz won the free kick for Ash's late free kick by running and taking on the defense. Great to see that confidence!
Great stuff guys!
