This is the best match we played in today. Seriously played well, although Ameobi basically slowed us down tremendously. Thoughts on players:
- Tiote is obviously back to full fitness. Played well today (although some mistakes) yet he seems back to form (and hopefully stays that way).
-What can I say, Ba is the best striker we've had since Shearer. Not an exaggeration, seriously great.
- Cabaye, is the same as Ba, absolutely great
- R Taylor, just shows that he deserves a role in Mid, as he has a good balance between defence and attack, not in defense
- Santon showed potential for the first time
- Krul was great and proved a worthy successor to Given.
- Shola, I love ya but as soon as you retire then we'd be a lot better. Shouldn't have been playing.
Overall a good performance although Pards subs were odd (Perch? Really?) but overall potential which made me happy. Best performance so far I would say.
