No match reports? I guess everyone feels that we all watched the match (which I'm sure we did.) My quick observations.
1.Not our best performance but we were miles better than Sheff U and should really have been out of sight by the final whistle, We largely controlled the game, and I thought our "game management" was better than earlier in the season, controlled the flow of the game soaked up whatever little pressure they put us under and attacked when we had the opportunities to do so. 2. Llorente is looking very useful. I like Cooper for all his service to the club but I think it won't be long before the central pairing will be Llorente and Koch (or even Struijk) 3. Top marks to Roberts who has really looked like a premier league player these last few outings. At the beginning of the season I never thought he'd cut it at this level but full credit to him, he's now looking like a decent premier league player. 4. Raphina is the most exciting player we've had in a long time but we all know that by now. Yes he was at fault for their goal by trying a fancy flick when all he had to do was trap the ball and pass it, but I'll take those little errors in exchange for a player who can put defenders on their arse time and time again all day long. 5. What was up with Bamford? Is he still carrying an injury? Just didn't look up to the pace of the game to me, poorest game he's had in a while but he's excused that because he's exceeded all expectations this season for me. 6. Stuart Dallas is a bloody good premier league player. 7. Rodrigo needs a little more game time but I'm convinced he'll soon be getting lots of praise from the pundits, just seems a little short of match sharpness but his movement is very intelligent. 8. Wasn't that the first time this season we've had all our summer signings on the pitch at the same time? If it was I think it says volumes for how we'll we've coped this season despite a lot of injuries. Bielsa has somehow managed to get even more out of what were once considered pretty average championship players. 9. Alioski is still a bang average championship player. I love him but we really need a proper left back this summer. 10. That's it from me, got to take my son to school.
