All fair critique regarding last night. To provide a contrasting view, some positives.

1. We won. Finally.

2. We changed formation last night. Despite what the lazy BBC were showing, Emery set up 4-4-2. When we had the ball Malan and Rogers were the front two, when we were kicking long from goal Guessand was up with Malan. A subtle change, but a change none the less.

3. Bizot's long ball distribution was good.

4. Torres played well, both defensively and in moving the ball forward. There was a lot less sideways slowness last night.

5. Kamara was excellent. Buendia probably my MOTM #2.

6. Rogers DID break the gameline several times during the match, more than he has in any other match this season. Final pass usually went awry but i'd rather that than him being largely static. He was trying, hard, to make a difference.

7. The attendance meant no traffic getting out of the ground (said tongue in cheek.I know the reasons why the gate was low).

It's interesting. Some players, Rogers and Guessand in particular, are getting a fair amount of stick. They're young lads, we should be putting our arms around their shoulders and helping them. If i'm struggling at work, people don't stand on the fringes and shout abuse at me and moan at me, they look to support me and help me. Not sure why football is any different (please don't go down the "they earn a fortune so they should accept it" route).

The smallest green shoots of something, which MIGHT (but might not) grow into something more on Sunday

Buendia man of the match is a honking opinion. Kamara closely followed by Torres last night.

Thought we were ok for the first 20 mins then they looked the more threatening for the remainder of the game. One big positive last night was having Torres and Kamara we were able to move the ball far quicker from deep into the front man allowing runners from midfield.
Think it’s apparent how much we miss Youri also.
