Ok not bad, but we still have no genuine talent up front. Bent could take advantage of this if given the chance. I'd like to see Sanchez for Westy, Bent for Gabby and Grealish for Zog at some point in the game.
Gabby's link up play in the first 25 minutes was probably the highlight up until then but they've really closed him down and crowded the middle. Despite us using the flanks well we're still not stretching them enough. They're very compact in there, our best hope is to play an early ball through the middle and let Gabby run at them.
Hutton is again having a great game. The defence, apart from one occasion look pretty comfortable.
Shame we're seeing Delph playing so deep, we really could do with him being more box to box. N'Zogbia is putting in a shift by his standards, Andi will probably get replaced some time in the second half, hopefully for Grealish.
If we can just improve our delivery, we can take the 3 points. Not seen anything from Newcastle to really worry about provided we remain focused.
