I thought we were too 1 dimensional( deep crosses from both full backs to lambert),which didn't work out as the crosses were sh*t last night. de Ridder is not a good player,whenever he receives the ball, he just turns on his back and tries to hold it up ,no confidence to carry the ball and go past people,too 1 footed. Chaplow is a much better player. Hammond showed his true class today( mid championship/top league 1 player), Cork has good touches not strong enough to hold up the ball at times, Guly, the quick tempo of the game has got the better of him, he is the sort of player who needs space and time to be successful and therefore wont cut it in the premiership. Both centre backs just didn't have a good day at the office, the movements of their attacking players were just too much for them
Lallana is not a winger, he plays in the ' hole' where he is the most effective, but is shifted out wide because of the system we play, but is still easily good enough for the championship.
billy worked hard last night, Lambert also played well, good creativity.
we will still go up, but not sure if we could still cut it at the premier league playing with this team and style of football
