Aluko - played well and held the ball up - something we have been lacking Huddlestone - his best game for some time Davies - ditto
Aluko Robertson Moses Hernandez didn't give a **** when he came on. Clucas was invisible and snodgrass would have been better if he was invisible. Diame far to slow and wasteful on the ball. Too many passengers in this team. Feel sorry for the lads that look like they try every week as it doesn't look like some do. That was totally deflating. I'm flat as a pancake. Devistated
Huddlestone - he gets stick usually but he's had an excellent few games. Should stay in the team until that changes. Diame - beat his man a few times and created everything we did. Some beautiful touches too. Also did well to manage the ridiculous situation that the ref put him in. Did his job out of possession without taking any risks. Aluko - needs to make better decisions and still super frustrating but he did more in an hour than Hernandez has done in the last month. Again, should start next game.
Huddlestone Robertson Odubajo I am not an Aluko lover, he plays for himself not the team, but again spent more time on his arse than on his feet and was twice put through with a team-mate on either side of him but he tries to beat his man and loses the ball.
DAVE - I hope you mean Davies - Odubajo had a stinker - never seen anyone lose possession and give the ball away as much as he did tonight - £3.5 mill down the ****ter
Hudd - Imperious and the best player on the pitch. Robertson - Excellent, our LB was one of our most dangerous attacking threats. Livermore - Covered every blade of grass, felt like we had two on the pitch. The match - I thought first half was fairly even and we were sounding them out to see what they had. Second half we were far superior. Much better than them and we've lost to a real sucker punch. They hadn't managed a shot on target in 90 minutes of normal time.
