I actually think we've played pretty well considering. WBA are absolutely flying (for them) right now and are full of confidence, we on the other hand are completely devoid of any rhythm at all. Given all of that we're having to guts it out, it's a bit of a scrap and my guess is there'll only be one goal in it if we do win. We're doing it though, we've got ourselves a good goal, we ain't defending bad, Mignolet seems to have sorted himself a go to method on crosses (punch everything) and I like our little adjustment of dropping Coutinho in deeper. He isn't really doing what's required yet, but he will.
If we can just grind this one out, there maybe better performances ahead.
