I only watched the game with half an eye, as I was at a dinner party, but I thought we played really well, except for a 20 minute spell towards the end of the game, were we really stepped off the gas, and I was certain Saudi Sportswashing Machine would score a lot earlier and make it really difficult. In the end, Saudi Sportswashing Machine were pretty toothless, and unable to punish our lack of effort in that period.
Thought Ndombele was great going forward. Looked dangerous every time we got into their half.
Excellent win in difficult circumstances. This was the kind of game we all know that we could easily lose, but credit to Nuno and the players, they stayed focused despite the early goal against, and got a very deserved win.
We dominated them, as we should, pretty much all game.
