Great to hear the crowd singing Ronald's name, but then I sometimes wish we'd sing a song for Katharina as well...
Yes Kelvin should have been brought on. Also what a turnaround in the possession statistics - many matches we have had most possession and lost yet this match we have had by far the less possession and are running away with the game.
I suspect that makes for a very happy birthday for Tom today. Superb all round performance helped by a hapless Villa. When this system works, it works very well. Pelle was excellent today, Long exceptional and Mane just ran riot. Special mention for Toby and Gazza as well. In fact, they were all great.
You know, they were talking about fastest ever hat-tricks on Match of the Day (or MOTD 2?) the other week and someone said Fowler's hat-trick would never be beaten. I wonder if the dubious goals commission will find a way to take this from Mané?
Awesome... religious holiday in UAE so all bars shut, thank you Talk sport!! Great send off for all of you who can go to St Mary's - vey happy
