great response after their equaliser, we played our best football of the game. but again we seemed to shit it after weimann scored and were thankful for half time. two cracking goals from us and we havent even been that great going forward thus far. to be fair Lowton has made hay from a poor Sunderland tactical set up, with Larsson playing so infield he has had loads of space to come forward into and we have exploited that. I expect to see McClean on at half time, saw him warming up just before the half time whistle.
We will definitely need the third goal. Johnson is giving Bennett a lot of problems. Graham causing problems too for our centre halves. Think we will need to improve further in order to go on and win the game. Gabby has gone out of it a bit since the missed chance. Need a lot more from Benteke whose touch has been poor. Weimann was very quiet until the goal but hopefully will get him going. As others have said Sylla is a headless chicken out there. Id bring on Nzogbia instead and drop Delph and Westwood into a 2 man deep midfield.
Going to be a very nervy second half.
