To me, having Sturridge so active with his running and making attempts on goal in the early going, made a ig difference today. In previous matches, we were far too prone to dinking the ball around the perimeter and never really trying anything, which of course doesn't get us anything. Daniel understands that not every effort on goal comes to anything, but if you don't try, nothing happens. He made a very intelligent run off the ball for the goal and of course credit to Phil for seeing it. We got some luck from Ayew (fine with me, we definitely have been on the wrong side of luck this season) and when they stepped out a bit in the 2nd half, showed some real quality.
This might change a lot of thinking about building next year's squad but, for now, we'll just focus on 3 points next Sunday.
