Really? still think he is off his game. He doesn't deserve to be on bench because he gets into good positions but he as completely lost his accuracy imo, whether it'd be for shooting or passing. But that's just me.
Koren was brilliant today. As the game went on he got tired and by the time he was substituted his passes started to go astray but he really stood up today.
He was man of the match without a doubt. His footballing brain is first class. Positioning in defence was excellent. Did a lot of work covering in front of elmo when they were ganging up on him. Was encouraging the lads and passing was very good.
A team full of heroes today but I agree that Koren deserves a special mention - his effort was outstanding!
Thought he was brilliant in defence but didn't actually offer that much in attack, which is what he is there for.
Excellent performance in covering the ground and working off the ball. He made some good tackles too.
Not a Koren fan, moaned about his inclusion but I thought he was outstanding today. If he plays like that on a regular basis he is as good as a new signing.
This could be my quote, his defending and tackling in the 2nd half was beyond anything I've seen from him previously, outstanding
Why did Bruce bring everyone on except Meyler today, Meyler was the obvious choice for me when your a man down, he even brought Rosenior on in midfield ahead of him!
Rosenior is faster than Meyler. I think Bruce just wanted fast players out there to close the distance and make it hard on them. With the exception of Graham obviously. Since Aluko looked like he was about to fall over.
I must admit that I was sceptical of his inclusion today - but was completely proved wrong. Really impressive performance, no lack of effort, and a good injection of quality.
