Wasn't a great game but I do think there were some positives:
Dawson and Tosin looked much better.
Morrison had a decent game
Townsend did little wrong
Sako looked strong and could be a far better foil to Gayle than Rodriguez. Was a bit selfish though at times.
I'll probably get slated for this but even Bartley looked slightly less rubbish.
Negatives:
Rodriguez poor again and showed no composure when missing his only chances.
Livermore still avoiding the ball wherever possible, scared to take responsibility
Phillips outswinging corners whilst they had no keeper.
Biggest disappointment for me though, yet again, and it's becoming impossible to defend the management, were the substitutions. Combined age of over a 100 ffs. gave us no energy whatsoever and took away our only decent outlets in Barnes and Sako. Ok, I appreciate that Barnes didn't have the best game and Sako was tiring but, if you take them off you have to inject some pace at least.
Personally, I think Moore was scared of losing the game so played it safe, then they go down to 10 men and we have no-one on the pitch who can get at them. Missed opportunity.
He needs to stop talking about lessons to be learned and things to work on and start putting it into practice because, at the minute, he just keeps doing the same thing over and over again.
Just to be clear though, this is not a call for his head, I want him here for the long term and am generally pleased with the way we play and our position in the table, I just want us to address some glaring issues so that we can become even stronger.
