I thought we were lucky not to be 3-0 down after 20 minutes as we seemed to be overawed by the Arse, but then we slowly clawed our way back into the game after going 2-0 down. For 20 minutes in the second half I thought we were the better team, we were first to the ball, closed down their men when they had the ball and began to start playing some good football and looked the most likely to score, then against the run of play they got the 3rd which was a very well worked goal and it was van Persie's fresh legs that enabled him to lose his marker.To me it seemed they targeted Parker early on as the weakest link and Snodgrass as the strongest player, he was always marked by two people.Paynter was like watching an untalented, uninterested Mark Viduka it was a great relief to see Somma come on and he so nearly scored with his first touch, the ball just came at the wrong height and all he could do was fling a limb at it and hope.The ref was very frustrating, calling silly fouls whe n it's a contact sport ffs, don't blame the Leeds players getting frustrated with himGradel - ran his bloody socks off all night, never stopped tracking back and caused them problems all nightSnodgrass - marked out of the game but what an incredible track back late in the game when he nipped the ball away from an Arse player who was free in the box.Schmeichel - Hate his Dad but love him. Great to see such passion and commitment, had to laugh at 3-1 down when he came up for the corner and didn't want to go back when Bromby got the long throw in.Watt - was disappointed, was hoping he'd be really up for it but he seemed a bit anonymous. Anyway, immensely proud of the team and their commitment and effort and also for some of the football they played for a period in the second half. Ditto for Grayson and the fans, well done to everyone who was there last night, we had 20 odd in a NYC bar which was pretty impressive in itself. Best,
