Overall we did enough without having to be that good, we looked tired and a bit leggy but 3 games in 7 days takes its toll I guess. I'd be worried if I were a Bristol fan, I thought they looked poor all over the pitch (with the exception of Adomah). 2-0 down and they had 11 men behind the ball - what sort of game plan is that? Anyway, here's mine: Schmeichel 6 (nothing to do after the first minute, kicking was a bit erratic.) Moore 6 (was caught out a couple of times but got back well) Morgan 8 (solid and comitted) St Ledger 8 (unfortunate to get injured, was excellent till then) Konchesky 7 (played through an illness, a good outlet whilst he was on the field, got forward well too) Knockaert 9 (covered every blade of grass, bags of skill and graft, don't often see that. Should have played in Nugent at the end but don't blame him for shooting from that range, he'd done everything else.) Drinkwater 8 (pulled all the strings) King 7 (worked hard, might have done more with the ball) Dyer 7 (another good shift from Lloyd, unlucky not to score) Vardy 7 (looks tired but was quality in first half, pressed everything and got the assist) Nugent 8 (Should have had more than the one. Didn't stop running. Showed strength and pace for the goal, cool finish) Whitbread 7 (Helped us see the game out when SSL went off, good defending) De Laet 7 (as above plus got forward well) Marshall 6 (didn't do a lot, where has his form gone? Got up and down to help us out though, put a few crosses in too)
Yeah they were both class. Probably being harsh on King - probably deserved an 8 Knockaert just seemed to be everywhere though.
Press reports all seem to be bigging Knckaert up ... gone from relative unknown to likely Championship player of the season over night (along with Zaha) wonder if that has anything to do with the two tap-ins he scored against the Udders?
