Really enjoyed that today, not just the result but the unrelenting commitment of the players, management and fans ( mind you it's easier when you're one up after 2 minutes ) : )
Every player put in a shift, proper defending from the front type effort. They must be fit, they kept up the same tempo all through the match in that heat. Good job the floodlights were on all match, could have been difficult playing in the twilight : )
What an eye-catching debut by Tavernier, we weren't sure how to pronounce his surname, so he's Marcus to us : )
Loved the halftime penalty shootout by CBS, eased up a bit with the last one I thought or it would a case of "Sign him on, sign him on" : )
Saw a massive ( for a Premier League player) ass waddling away from us late in the second half. Checked my programme and it was John McGinn's : )
When I heard the team news, I immediately thought there must be a Covid outbreak in the squad. That's why I don't comment on the finer points of tactics. It turns out it was perfect to get the points. I assume the lack of lustre in the friendlies was also part of the plan : )
It was great to be back and see everyone we saw. Thank you to the Vitals' lady lurker for the kind words about my posts and dress sense, very much appreciated : )
