It wasn't a penalty, Guzan gets finger tips on the ball. Don't agree with Sturridge as MOTM. I'd give it Toure, he got his head on everything and kept us in it IMO.
Thank the gods for that. 3 points in the bag, 2 wins out of 2, even though we'll complain about that 45 mins.
Sturridge scores midway through the first half. We defend that till the 85th when Mignolet makes a wonder save to preserve the points. Remind you of anything? Deja vu.
Nervous one but three points and a clean sheet. You need to be able to win the ugly games if you are going to get top 4. MOTM for us Mignolet and overall Agbonlahor?
That'll do. Would have taken that before the game.......Not the best performance second half, but got the result and didnt fold.. Roll on Notts County and the opportunity to see a bit more of the likes of Luis Alberto, Ibe, Sterling, Wisdom, Borini etc
Well not pretty 2nd half but a result I will be happy to take that. A ground out result,great save from the Ming at the end,but other than that we looked fairly secure. Thought toure did really well.
It was a tough game in the end but that is the bit I'm most happy with, last year we would have conceded! #mentality
delighted with the result, horrified with that 2nd half performance. My man Lucas was wobbly as ****.
BBC live text Big heading saying "PENALTY APPEAL" Describes what happens then at the end says "Sturridge did not even appeal by the way." So, not much of a penalty appeal then was it
Well it wasn't brilliant 2nd half but it was always gonna be a tough game. Just happy we got the three points. We definitely need a winger brought it as, Sturridge aside, we didn't even look like a threat on the counter in the 2nd half.
