Not a vintage performance, but we got the 3 points and there are plenty of positive takeaways to boot.
- Can looked solid in the holding role. It's nice having a player there with pace who can properly cover for Clyne / Moreno if we get caught with one of them out of position. His passing still lacks consistency, but he did play a F***ing peach of a ball over the top you Benteke!!
- Moreno is boss!! I love this kid!! He is pure aggression and athleticism and he is fun to watch!! Sure, he has his WTF moments that make you wanna pull your hair out, but the way he flies into tackles is like a pit bull going in for the kill!!
- Almost all of the teams right around us dropped points this weekend -- Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, Southampton, Everton, Utd, Leicester, and West Ham. We finally took advantage of others slip ups!!
- Studge and Hendo returning to fitness prior to the busy Christmas period is a huge boost!! We have a very manageable run of games coming up that we should win most of, but we will need to rotate some players in order to push on in 4 competitions. I'm just not sure who is going to rotate in with Clyne / Moreno....
- Only 6 points off the top, and it feels like anyone could win it this year..... with JK at the helm, why not us?!
