People are being harsh on Ade once again, it's really quite unsavoury. His runs created space for the goals and other than that, he wasn't any better or any worse than the rest of the team. Bale was virtually invisible for the second half if we want to look at it like that.
But doing that is pointless. We need to see that it was an excellent, intelligent performance again. We are a team of proper professionals now. We soak up pressure when we need to. We break when the best opportunities arise. We can play possession football but when we need to we can dig in deep and shut teams out completely. Apart from Ramsey's chance today they created sod all, while we had Defoe and Sig's efforts in the second half off the top of my head, that really could have put the game to bed.
Should also say Defoe looked 'better' than Ade largely because that was the period of the game we were breaking with purpose at the same time Arsenal started to throw men forward. If Ade was on the pitch at that time he would have looked good too. After that period we shut up shop again and had to grind it out but like against Liverpool, we managed to do it.
