Well - we lost but I DON'T MIND LOSING LIKE THAT!!!!!

Gotta say that I only saw the second half, but the last 30 mins was SO good; positive stuff by AI - although maybe forced into it - but it really made a huge difference to go out and bloody well ATTACK!!
I don't think anyone played badly in that 2nd half, and Big Vic was a bloody revelation and showed what he really can do.......shame he'll probably be out for the next 5 weeks

Varela looks a class act.....Sess is so bloody hard to mark......Saido again looked good........Big Vic fab-u-lous, darling, and with us storming forward our back four looked less vulnerable! Pleas note, AI!

I know Dorrans gets some stick on here, and rightly so at times, but in the 2nd half today his workrate was huge and shouldn't be ignored just because he puts a couple of balls astray; IMO he does an awful lot more good than bad!

This has made me so much more optimistic even though we lost; I hope that the attacking play and the atmosphere it created wasn't lost on AI, and I REALLY hope that he turns a corner from tonight with his selections, I really do.
