Baines for not passing it back as much as usual and for his hand in the goal. He put in a lot of work today.
..went for Gueye as he topped off a busy performance with a fine finish. Looked better balanced with Vlasic as he can join in, he can create and he can run with purpose. Both full backs did fine and a very good finish from Tosun. Walcott caused them lots of problems and just looks right.
Chuffed to see us with players in the top third although we often failed to exploit those situations. Saying that, the LB passed to the DM in open play for the 2nd goal. Encouraging.
Exactly thisNothing has changed.
We are superior to the relegation strugglers, but we haven't beaten any of the teams above us.
We deserve better - we demand better.
Interesting note: With this game, in the most recent 5 games not counting Man City, we have conceded 2 goals. Thats also with the much maligned Keane in defense in all 5. Thats pretty good, would average out to 15 goals allowed on the season.
