A great first half in which we did the business. Patchy second, being kind, but we got the chance to rest players and give James and Mason a goal and an assist respectively.
Highlights for me were Bruno, Telles, Cavani and vdB. In the case of the latter two I hope they give Ole a selection headache going forwards as they showed us that doing the simple stuff well, on a consistent basis, will reap rewards. Cavani's hold up play and movement off the ball were superb all day, while dvB was near faultless in his role of picking the ball up in midfield and progressing it for us as quickly as possible. The opposition were poor and overawed in the first half but that takes nothing away from what those two did for us tonight, given the amount of terrible play we've seen this year against less than exalted opposition.
The defence looked ropey all night, Maguire in particular looked dodgy at times, and the second half we lost our shape and our focus after the subs. However the fourth goal was a nice bonus and I'm more than happy with the night's work.
