Diamond Lights
Alan Hutton
My analysis from today:
1) Romero was head and shoulders our best defender. Read everything, great tackles, great timing on things (except late tackle where they scored but wasn't at fault), just brilliant - probably my MotM
2) Son will get MotM and not harsh if so, was the world class difference despite Romero being the reason we didn't concede more
3) Royal our second best defender. Great going forward and diligent at the back
4) should have scored at least 4 goals. Shouldn't have been as nervy as it was - poor finishing and Martinez was great
5) Kane... Another game no goal... Played better but had chances he should have scored and didn't. Worrying now it's a trend.
6) Ndombele I just can't understand. The talent this guy has is insane and you'd want him in your team every game. But from the 50th minute he was clearly on his arse. No idea why Nuno left it to the 75th to take him off, was a passenger for majority of second half. I'd rather Lo Celso personally, Tanguy will set fire to any other league in Europe but he won't cut it in PL IMO
7) atmosphere was pretty poor, which I get given how brick we've been but it's disappointing as it really can make the difference with the new stadium - noise levels are class if we get it going
8) the Villa goal, it was nervy. They didn't have much but in second half they had a few attacks and suddenly you could just sense they'd score, they probably smelt the blood in the air themselves and obvs it happened soon after. Could see it coming we just kinda, panicked
9) I never understood PEH getting slated. It helps to have midfielders and he was alone in the middle Vs Arsenal. No one would look good out of that. Watch him on the pitch he marshals loads of things, so vocal.
