Get to the train station and my dad has left the tickets at home

Manage to only miss a minute and all the pre game stuff (which was a shame)

Great atmosphere and the kit looked fantastic.

Defence was shocking and we created very little, I don't know how we scored twice.

4 centre backs and we concede from a cross

Conceding from a knockdown was bad too

Myhill, dealt with the crosses well and confident off his line.

Dawson, Schlupp murdered him with his pace, embarrassing at times

McAuley, atrociously horrendous for their winner, seemed ok otherwise

Lescott, I thought ok

Brunt, some great deliveries but Albrighton showed him up as a winger playing as a full back, occasionally not given enough protection (I think Morrison and Berahino very briefly swapped positions about halfway through the second half which exposed Berahino's lack of positional awareness (presumably because he isn't a left winger)). Some poor passing aswell.

Gardner, scored but poor, not a winger and some wayward passes.

Yacob, thought he was quite good, shielded the defence quite well and broke up play

Fletcher, mostly good, mainly passed very well

Morrison, impressive tries to put himself about and can dribble quite far with the ball

Berahino, ok and stronger than I thought (again) but he doesn't do headers. Sometimes showed some of his quality but maybe shouldn't sidefoot so many shots.

Ideye, tried

Olsson, why did he come on? Being defensive to close out a game doesn't work. I don't find him reassuring anymore.

Sess, decent

Anichebe, maybe could have worked a bit more sometimes but we barely attacked in the time he was on.
