The first half wasn't good entertainment. It was attritional. Sometimes you've got to grind through those things. I don't think Villa will be any more happy with that half than we would be. Chances were scant...although Pontus should have buried that header.
Second half was much better...is that because we wore them down in the first...they did a lot of chasing and closing down. Glad for Roofe, lovely headed finish, that was all about the run between defenders and a cracking ball in from Doukara who had been somewhere between poor and anonymous for the previous 70 minutes. The second goal...what do you say about Sacko...mostly shit, quite fast (although he never got away from his full back yesterday) then he runs through like this, almost stumbles...should bury it, instead, squeezes it through the keepers legs...it might just have got over the line if no one else had got to it, but Wood had to make sure given a defender was closing in to clear. Fair play to Wood. Thought all the defence was solid, especially Ayling. Somebody - Monk - needs to have a word with Pontus, never mind the fannying about on the edge of his own box...that is bad enough, but centre halfs don't need to be picking up stupid yellow cards and I think he's has three in recent weeks. He's in danger of becoming a very naughty boy rather than a legend and he is a good defender who has brought material change to the team. Also thought Viera was good. He does have a few shaky moments in each game but he is getting more and more stuck in and influencing things. Still not convinced at all by Philips. 3 good points. hard earned. Up to fourth. There's no one on this list that wouldn't have taken that for the first week of December, if we'd have been offered it in August.
