great result. Performance was mostly very good too, especially on individual levels. As a unit we were too much on the back heel for too much of the 2nd half though. Also, I don't know why we started with Raul on the right, although I guess we might not have gotten that first goal if Kuyt had been out right. What a great pass that was from Kuyt. Lucas was superb. Kelly did very well, and while this does look very good for Roy, he did admit after the match that he was planning on starting Johnson and Kyrgiakos, fair enough, I think most people wanted to see them, or at least Kyrgiakos. Roy also had a very strange bench that included Spearing, Shelvy, AND Poulsen. Thank goodness we didn't have to chase at the end, we only had Jovanovic and N'gog to chose from. No Pacheco, Eccleston, or Babel. Even Suso would have been a better option than Poulsen, especially if we are starting with 3 CMs, and have another 2 on the bench.
