Very happy with first half, second was frustrating as we defaulted to sitting back on a slender lead.
Keeper not up to it. Gives me no confidence at all, and haven't seen signs he's going to become a keeper we'll rely on longer term. Defence pretty solid, closing down around the box far more effectively than in recent months, and lots of effort getting further forward when they could. Kelly was brilliant before we went in front then dipped a bit, Powell excellent throughout, Sibley grew into the game and was our best player later on. Mpanzu was disappointing, saw enough of the ball but just looks chaotic, and off the pace. Decent efforts from the forwards, and a shame we only led by a goal at the break despite their work.
Chuffed we got there despite their diving and dark arts - and eventually showing a bit of football - and all in all, zero complaints. Starting to feel a bit like (and only whispering this for now) we're getting our club back.
