We defended well I thought given the amount of pressure we invited. Without Bazunu flapping at and spilling a few it would’ve felt more comfortable. We won basically every first header from the 50 crosses/corners they chucked at us in the last 10 mins

I thought we defended terribly. Never seen a worse performance from THB and Stephens looked well off it. 11 players defending the goal is not a sign of great play.
 
Appreciate they are as relieved as we are, if not more, and I am splitting hairs a bit but I didn’t enjoy the reaction from our staff on the bench at FT. The standards should be higher than rapturously celebrating that at the whistle. Looked like a lower league minnow celebrating an FA Cup upset. I noticed Lallana didn't really engage with it while the others were all hugging and bouncing up and down in delight

Yes, we attacked the ball, communicated athad shape. Small improvements.

Nah once we’d made the decision to just sit deep after their goal they defended well. Obvious nerves but overall they did what they were trying to do well

Whether that should’ve been the game plan is a completely different story
 
THB wasn't great with the ball on the floor, but he was excellent in the air.

Stephens-Manning must be right up there as one of the poorest left side defensive pairings we've ever had.

I guess Scienza gets my MOTM. He's a gem.

As a Baz over McCarthy person, real mixed bag from Baz tonight. Should have done better for the goal but a good save in added time and two excellent claims, albeit he ruined one by holding onto the ball for too long and giving away a corner. He also fumbled one which he got away with.

Probably means they keep their jobs for another week.

Probaly celebrating the fat contracts they are going to get now when Spors gives them the job permanently
