[WBA Will]

Thought McManaman was excellent today. Tortured the best RB in the league last year, twisted him inside and out and the cross for Morrison's header was sublime. Also thought that Rondon had a good first game against Zouma who is probably the worst kind of CB for him to play against (quick and strong, matching Rondon's strengths) and a fabulous assist. I was also very pleased with Gnabry when he came on: he looked very quick and produced a lovely bit of skill to evade a tackle. Overall we looked good but defensively we were all over the place. Olsson has been a fabulous servant to the club and I hold no ill will towards him but he just seems out of his depth these days. Get Lescott or Chester in over him please, Tony. However, Brunt and Dawson both had solid games at full back.
