....much better. Terrific performances all around but I would single out 3 individuals;
Tom Davies - hasn’t played for a while but produced a very disciplined performance in that deep lying defensive midfield position. Can’t be a coincidence that Gomes had his best game for a while, it’s lot to do with blend, it’s lot to do with partnerships.
Richarlison - our conventional strikers should watch that performance and take note. No excuses for him about the team not playing to his strengths, he went to war with their CBs, he ran the channels, he was a nuisance, but most of all he was effective.
Walcott (MoM) - I said before the game that I suspected he was impressing in training and he just looked a player on top of his game. He takes up terrific central positions and provides threat in that form. I have always liked him, I call him an uncomplicated footballer.
