I thought McKenna was the best player on the pitch yesterday. He controlled the midfield and I didn't see him give the ball away once - it was a Xavi-esque performance. At the start of the season, I think everyone expected him to be a great defensive marshall for us, but in truth he's not, he's more of deep lying playmaker.
I'm going to give Evans a good report and all. Him and Mckenna bossed the midfield for the whole match. They kept it ticking in the second half and won back the ball numerous times. He could have scored in the first half if it wasn't for an unfortunate bounce. Also Dawson had a good game. Another who could have scored. Got forward well and linked play with Stewart. Koren was man of the match for me.
Agree with this. I noticed it at Derby, we were winning 2-0 away so they really should have been pressing us back in our own half but we not only played most of the second half near their goal but whenever they tackled us we got it back almost immediately and started again, it was the same yesterday.
