The only way I can describe yesterday was "weird"
Not once leading up to the game did I think we would be in trouble,the whole noise about A.N taking over was in itself strange ,if he comes and we go up........or put it another way how many prem teams would even be looking at him?
Anyway, in the warm up Sam Johnstone looked woeful, I'm sorry it's not scapegoating he is without doubt the worst keeper I have seen up here
Defence I thought looked ok Bartley if anything was for me the best of them
We have the 2 best wing backs in the league, we played them as wing backs and.....
However, I am concerned that whilst Gibbs does go up and down the flank...he won't take a man on , could/should we try Phillips there ?.....Townsend made one serious rick when not being ready to receive the ball...but then rectified
Midfield...johansen stood out a mile, awesome energy , exactly what we have been needing, Livermore did a good job and if you watch him whenever any of our players gets a kick etc....he makes sure he gets close and has a word with whoever...some may say hothead, I say great team protection.
I also want to mention the "wand" the two assists were quite simply fantastic, credit where it's due, but we have had to wait a long time for a brunt contribution from CM so I ain't blowing up balloons
Up top , Gayle was the Gayle that we should have had up front all season, by definition he helps jay rod become a better player , jay rod isn't awful...but we can and should improve on him
