I agree with most of that. Couldn't understand why they were praising our
holding midfielders on radio Leeds when I was driving home. I thought both were
poor and kept giving the ball away far too cheaply. I love berardi - I think
he'd take out his own mother to win the ball!
I think monk likes the strength that doukara offers but he was way off the pace
today. Sackho is the classic million pound talent with a 10p head. I'd have
subbed him and o'kane a lot earlier.
I like Ayling, Bartley and Jansson too but they overplayed it too much at the
back today for my liking.
I'm not sure what Dallas offers.
Thought Wood was superb again - he has very little support but ran his nuts off
again (which was what frustrated me about him last season - thought he could've
worked harder) and took his goal well.
Couldn't understand calls for Silvestri to return a few weeks ago - green
showed again why he should be first choice.
