Westwood .6. claimed a few crosses well, nearly cost us a goal, didn't have much to do otherwise O'Shea .5. His constant hoofing stops a lot of potential attacks Brown .7. Solid. Bramble .6. Recovered well after a shaky start Bardsley .7. Supported Richardson and then McClean very well Larsson .8. Very involved, great goal Colback .6.5. Quiet Vaughan .9. My MOM, tackled well and kept the ball well. Great goal Richardson .6. Involved quite a lot, at times too casual with his passes, should've scored. Sess .7.5. Great dribbiling, when he gets the ball you know a chance is coming Wickham .6. Unluckily for him he had to try and deal with high balls to him. Looked pretty good with the ball at his feet, quiet though Subs: Ji .6. No impact really McClean .7. Looked great. God knows why he wasn't playing before this. Thoughts?
Don't think Bardo deserves a 7, 6 for me and thought Sess was MOM. Colback was poor again, just offers nothing going forward. Pretty much agree with the rest.
I disagree respectfully. Bardo was playing alot higher up the pitch than he is used to today. He was putting in some good balls from the left, making the tackles, and getting forward linking up with Richo and McLean. Fully deserves a 7, and quite possibly an 8. Samba was MotM for me though
We really should have gone for Samba last January before he signed a new contract. He is just immense. Simple as that
Bardo has to get some of the blame for their 1st goal. He left Samba standing there, and was late putting pressure on him. Brown also left Samba to it; although maybe he thought Bardo would close him down quicker. 6 for Bardo. Colback was good in the 1st half, quieter in the 2nd - 6.5 sounds about right. 6.5 for Ricco 7.5 for Mclean, the lad had a massive impact when he came on 8.5 for Vaughan - the extra .5 for his goal compared to Larsson (maybe I just expect Larsson to score from free kicks now - they dont seem as spectacular anymore)
we wuzz heading for defeat till the subs - we were all f u c k i n g sh7t until then. mclean was easily MOTM as he changed the game. sess again was good with the ball but distribution and shooting was f u c k i n g terrible - he needs some serious coaching!!! Brill result though!! Bart
