Really good performance, especially in the first half, when we should have had the game sown up.
Scores:
Emi 7; one very good save, a little at fault for the goal as he could have stood taller.
Cash; fine return, defended well and put in the cross of the season!
Targett; what happened to the wimpy bloke who played there last season.
Ezri; not at his best but still good; seemed to have communication probs with Mings.
Skipper; good all-round game; plenty of accurate long passes.
Doug; improved, though not at his best. Dead unlucky to get booked. Andy Gray used to do what Doug was booked for half-a-dozen times per match. Crazy.
Meatba'; Getting back to his best. I'm liking these right-foot through balls -that's two in two now!
Barkley; really put a shift in and showed that he can do it. What was his motivation?
Bert; infuriating at times and then, suddenly, absolutely brilliant.
Ollie; V. good. Just came up short of goals.
AEG; Not a great impact, but then a great winner.
Always great to see us when we pass the ball faster.
