3. I think that Pablo Hernandez will not start too many premier league matches. Age has finally caught up. He really should have done better with his chance. I think he should have scored.
4. Love the way Alioski only takes 2 touches at most before releasing the ball. I feel he actually counts. Thought he played well.
5. Dallas is a better right back than he is a left back. Not sure what to do about this.
6. Here in the States, commentators didn't know much about Shackleton.
7. I was brought up in the time of George Best, Peter Lorimer, Kevin Keegan. I like right footed players to play on the right side. Costa, a left footed player, very often takes the extra touch to put it on his left foot and makes a pass into the box rather than cross it with his right.
8. Last word on Barndoor. Can't remember the last time he scored from outside the box. Can anyone?
Take number 1 back. Just made a couple of bad tackles, and then became a little scared of going in for the tackle.
