Could turn out to be effectively 4 pts with the huge boost to our goal difference.
Defence- shaky in the first half, solid second. Vlaar is an enigma in that its no surprise we have become a more solid team since his return from injury, at the same time our defence is weak as he is our 'best' defender. I would be happier if he was our 2nd best defender.
Bennet is growing as a player each match as he gets experience. If he can bulk up a bit over teh summer I think he will be a good player for us.
Lowton joint MOM for me, constant attacking threat and solid in defence, almost played as a winger at times.
I really like our midfield trio, it has a nice balance of craft workrate, physicality and intelligence. Provides a really solid base for our strikers. All were excellent today.
OUr forwards also have a nice blend, pace and strength of Gabby, workrate and runs of Andi and Benteke is the complete package.
I think if we can stay up and Lambert can pull 3 players out of the bag of the same standard as Lowton, Westood and Benteke for 15 million each year we have a bright future.
