Haha, to be fair I think Miranda will be the next 'boo boy' target if anyone takes Mr Gloves' place.
We actually played some very good football, on my way out I saw the stats and we had 7 shots on target and a further 8 off target. Despite our patient play we created some good opportunities and in another game we win 3/4 nil. Once they went to ten perhaps we could have taken a few more risks but we were one nil up so I could understand that.
Some of the link up play between our front three and wing backs was very good. When we wanted to, we really pulled Millwall's two lines of four apart. We will face better defences and better defenders individually but it was still pleasing to see. Jota in particular floated around finding pockets of space.
Ruddy - 7 - Great distribution I thought today and made a good stop at the end with bodies in front of him
Batth - 6 - Bog standard from Batth at this level, solid performance.
Coady - 7 - another good performance at the heart of the back three. I don't understand when he suddenly learnt to pass like he is at the moment but long may it continue. Covers the other two defenders intelligently
Miranda - 6 - Sometimes a bit rash but he's aggressive and a good footballer. More to come from him.
Doherty - 6 - Made some good runs forward and was OK defensively but crossing was poor and limited us at times.
Neves - 7 - Dictated play, made some good passes and wins the ball a lot for us in good positions.
Saiss - 8 - my MOTM. Just looks so much more confident with a better defence behind him and better players around him. Very composed on the ball and using his physique well. And not getting booked!
Vinagre - 6.5 - He's a great little player and more than good enough but sometimes makes poor decisions getting caught under the ball. He will get better at that with time. Combined well with Jota.
Marshall - 6 - Looked much fitter than against Southampton though still not quite there yet. His crossing is better than Doherty and if Nuno trusts him defensively I see him playing the right wing back role still
Bonatini - 7 - classy footballer, and could have had a couple of goals which he deserved. if he continues to get in those positions he will not struggle for goals
Jota - 7.5 - absolute pest for the opposition and so good in tight spaces. First touch is brilliant and he has a good football brian
Subs: Bright - 6, N'Diaye - 6, Cav - n/a.
Overall very comfortable and with two more games this week we haven't over exerted ourselves!
