All this evening taught me is that we'll not get very far in this playing a weakened team. We've barely scraped past these jokers despite having most of the play, we didn't play badly but just wasn't quite there tonight.
Positives:
Obertan was actually decent
Marveaux is a clever player and it was good to see him get 90 minutes, looking forward to seeing him play more.
Bigi is tidy, would do better with someone like Cabaye alongside him.
Vuckic took his goal well and had some neat touches but beyond that, he was quite average.
Negatives:
Gosling, just has nothing about him at all. Don't want to criticise him after so few games but he's failed to impress on a number of occasions now.
Ryan Taylor's injury - get well soon
Ba - didn't look interested for large parts.
The realisation that I'm now old for complaining that the streaker:
a) Was able to get onto the pitch so easily
b) Wasn't stopped by anybody
c) Was able to do 2 laps of the players without being stopped
Without labouring the point, he could have attacked the players or anything, there wasn't a steward in sight. Dickhead.
So at least we're through, looks like they should have had a pen and a potential Krul red card which would have been just brilliant. We'll have to up our game against most of the teams who have qualified, I'm sure we will though.
