Aluko - looking like the attacking threat he was before his initial injury..much more active/aggressive Elmo - old reliable...always in the game... Ramirez....i've been a critic of his but he was class today...hope this is the real Gaston. Honorable mention....Robbie Brady
And he never will! It was a joke Ethel. Jelly only played a couple of minutes. There were no outstanding players for me today as I thought that they played as a team for a change. Aluko did his usual 'bound-for-glory' performance and could well have given other players a better chance but he cannot pass within sight of the goal. Sagbo's appalling pass to Elmo, who was unmarked with the goal at his mercy, was inexcusable, but he'll be gone next month. If Bruce off-loads McShane, Sagbo and a couple of others he will bring in another, more capable, striker regardless of his comments that he "..wasn't looking for anyone".
Brady Chester Ramirez A much better team performance than of late - more positive approach going forwards. Aluko seems to have stopped going round in in circles and looks a much better player for it. Elmo also looked better getting forwards and his ball for Jela's goal was excellent. Really glad that Jelavic scored as well - great finish.
