I thought without looking great yesterday it was a pretty solid performance considering our injuries.
Didi and garcia missed a couple of sitters which on another day would have gone in.
I thought that we looked a bit flat up front with Pongolle not really impressing, his touch seemed heavy, I hope the lad comes good.
The Spanish trio really impressed me, they showed that they are not afraid to get stuck in with one or two tastey tackles being put in. Lets hope that some of their passion can rub off on Kewell.
I have criticised Sami this season for having a tendency to hoof it and making one or two mistakes in a game that could be potentially be costly, but fair play to him yesterday he played very well looking like his old self. Jamie was outstanding again, the partnership now is beginning to look convincing. Josemi, again a little bit gun ho in his challenges but played well. I thought he did a good job on their No 21, Julian Gray who had a lot of pace and looked comfortable running with it. I think Finnan would have been exposed by this had he started there.
And as for 15 years what a load of ******, I am confident that Rafa can take us on to the next level, we all need to get behind him and the team. At the moment this is Rafa's time to build the foundations of his team and sort out some of the mess he inherited.
