I haven’t been able to watch the whole game, but what I didn’t watch I listened to on the radio. Quite how the commentator reckons Valencia is our record signing – something he said every time his name was mentioned – is beyond me. Andy Carroll cost £3 million more. Anyway I will leave the full match report to David Hautzig – he’ll be posting it tomorrow morning, but here are some pluses and minuses from tonight…
PLUSES
- We scored two goals away from home.
- Enner Valencia’s goal. Wow.
- Our two strikers scored. When did that last happen?
- Jenkinson got some action.
- Song looked really solid when he came on.
- Downing put in a very strong performance.
- No one was injured.
- Highest % possession (60%) of any game this calender year
MINUSES
- We didn’t win.
- We’ve only kept one clean sheet in the last 16 matches.
- Diame scored.
- Er, can’t think of any more…
Please add your own pluses and minuses.
