They're well rattled and we're dominating. Now.... the big question.... can we continue in the same vein second half and push on or will Monk want the team to try and protect the lead where we sit deep and let them back in?
Cheers plastic! Fantastic score so far. How are we lined up, is de Guzman on the right wing with shelvey and Britton in the middle or..? Also how are we playing, stats say it's all us.
Thing is - you can be sure Houghton will try and change something as they need to get back into the game. The question is will Monk be able to quickly analyse what's changed and react to it so we don't end up holding on again ? A third for us would certainly relax the anal sphincter.
We are looking back to our best lads, that back heal from Bony was beautiful, showing how confident we now are under Monk! I predicted a 3-1 win for us and we are looking good for that!....................
This has been the BIG problem so far under his tenure. Surely we have to carry on playing our game and not worry about them. Nathan on should also give us a refreshed threat.
I think with this game we will. Keeping dyer and Hernandez on the bench, we have a lot of options. Something we didn't have with Hernandez in the middle.
