Brilliant performance! First half was unreal. Gillet was unbelievable in midfield, Wotton very strong, Holmes a true winger and McGoldrick looked strong, confident and mature.
Bart - 7. Not a lot to do. One good save. 2 dodgy moments when he ran out of box. Not a starter for me.
Lloyd James - 7. He'll prob get mixed reviews from people. Thought he was good but crossing poor fopr me.
Cork - 8. Didn't notice much of him...which i'm guessin is a good thing. Completely comfortable. Doesnt look big for a CB tho.
Thomas - 8. Good solid game. Handles passing out of defence well.
Surman - 8. Perhaps not quite as attacking as usual but did well and also slotted nicely into central holding role when schniederlin came off.
Lallana - 9. Played wide right for most of game although scored once in middle. Prefer him in middle but he's just pure class. Great goal, carved defence apart.
Gillet - 10. Love this guy. Unrelentless harassing of players and effortless passing. Came off after bout 60mins, quite possibly our poor patch due to him havin a knock. MOTM
Schneiderlin - 7. Wasn't playing in normal holding role where I prefer him. Good but is better.
Holmes - 9. I really trust him to get a cross in every time or beat defender. Great goal. The natural winger we need.
McGoldrick - 9. Cemented in my mind his right to be a starter. Seemed older than his years and led the line strongly, drifts nicely onto the right to create space too.
Subs.
Mills - 6. Not ready IMO. Panicked a bit and a couple of poor crosses. To be fair he inexperienced and did fairly well.
John - 8. Gotta keep him. He is just unmoveable when he wants to hold the ball up! Great lay off passes too.
Cant remember if we used any more subs! Hope this helped.
Woukld have liked Dyer to come on for last 7 mins at least after 2nd goal just to get a look in. With right frame of mind will be very usefull.
Bradley has no place.
COYR!
