Thought generally we were quite solid yesterday, DDG did what was needed; there were a few shots that came through crowds, he watched everything well and didn't spill anything.
The back four were good, especially Shaw who I think was a deserved MoM.
I was a bit disappointed with our finishing, we had chances to win the game which would have given us a nice cushion, something we might need although Liverpool do have some difficult games coming up, and in quick succession too.
As for Bruno what can I say? Very disappointing performance. I am taking it generally in isolation because he's been so impressive and important since he signed, scoring some key goals and cool as ice from the penalty spot.
But yesterday he was so far below par I'm surprised Ole didn't sub him earlier. vdB or Mata should have been on midway through the second half IMO.
It's nice to see us top at this stage of the season, something we're not used to seeing these days but I can't help the feeling we should be 6 points clear of them instead of 3.
Hopefully they will go on to drop more points in the next month or so.
