Just hope that Fulham game doesn't come too early, as I had the feeling that the players put in a massive effort for the Derby game and were not quite ready for today.
Also, second half the team seemed to lose its shape. The Livermore-Harper swap didn't work, and I have a feeling Billic thought Livermore was heading for a red card. Its a bit unfair to pick on Harper, as he has shown alot of promise, but he's clearly not a 'leader', although we needed that and organisation to give us more control in midfield. I also couldn't see the need for Krovinovic to come off as he was heavily involved.
Swapping Dianga for Grosicki was a bit of a gamble that didn't quite come off, but if one of his shots had gone in, people would say it was a master sub. You couldn't really say the same about HRK coming on for Austin, as HRK's game changing moments have been getting rarer and rarer. His positioning is less good than Austin's, and he reacts too slowly to any half chances.
For Fulham, I'd like to go back to Grosicki & Dianga on the wings so that Peirera can get more involved centrally. Mitrovic needs to be watched closely, including for his little
dives. Knockaert can also do alot of damage with his dribbling and crosses.
Most important is that the players are ready and up for it.
