Just read the last 6 pages of this thread, was hooked. Really entertaining to read
Absolutely delighted with the shift we put in last night. Tactically brilliant, everyone carried out their role and played their part.
Krul - 8 - If only for the amount he had to deal with. Misjudged/dropped the ball once or twice, as well as a few sloppy kicks, but was brave, came out and tried to hold onto the ball. Don't recall him having any shots to save...
Simpson - 7.5 - Loved the towel antics.
STaylor - 7.5
Colo - 7.5 - When he kept that ball on by the touchline
Raylor - 7.5 - Good use of long throws, put his body on the line for the team (not for the first time this season).
Obertan - 7.5 (poss an 8) - Good outlet for the team on the counter, brilliant cross for the goal. Still unsure on his short passing, they almost seem lazy/lethargic.
Guthrie - 8.5 - Very good performance, looked confident bringing the ball forward, and actually looked mobile/fit. Looked like the player I thought he could become when he first signed.
Cabaye - 7 - Mixed game, some quality passing, some sloppy, particularly in the 2nd half. Worked hard as always.
Jonas - 9 MOM - Did what was clearly asked of him, worked his bollocks off and helped pretty much completely nullify Pennant.
Best - 8.5 - Work rate, strength, first touch, and dribbling ability, all things people are starting to realise he has in abundance. Tireless effort.
Ba - 9 - Absolute poachers performance combined with a hard working shift. Defended from the front with Best and deserved his hat trick.
Oh and Perch actually put in a quality tackle near the end too... Sammy and Gosling didn't really have time to do anything.
