What a turnaround.
Philips and Bartley particularly.
Great to see Philips threatening and eager to take on defenders successfully.
Bartley refocused and (whilst worrying me to death with his endeavours to play it out from the back with short passes to O’Shea and Palmer) is concentrating on doing the simple things. Excellent.
Interesting to see his new style in deliberately being extra slow to take up position for corners, long throws and free kicks. Thereby delaying his final move to position and upsetting the defence.
I hope his over gesticulating days may be over.
I could go on naming others, but all have shown the commitment and energy levels to win us over.
