I know it's gone right over your head.. there was a point in my post.
See, I'm not the moaner here. That is left to the guys who want to blame Hendo / Moreno / Mignolet / Lovren for everything.
Funny enough, Mignolet had another good game, and if not for a crazy penalty decision, would have had a clean sheet. But these guys will still be criticised. At least Robertson is in now so, that's the awful Moreno out forever.. hurrah! I'm hearing Robertson did everything in one game that Moreno has struggled with for years. Moreno never even tackled!!
So you're sick of people criticising some of our players then?
Funnily enough, I'm sick of people saying there is some sort of witch hunt too.
Who are these people who bash Moreno exactly? Name and shame them. I haven't seen any this season to be honest.
I think most of us have praised Morenos performances this season but we were worried that at some point he would go back to his old ways and cost us points. And we saw that at Sevilla. To be fair to him though, he has recovered well since. Is he a long term option? Something that is certainly worth discussing and people are more than justified in saying no.
Robertsons praise is also justified. He has only played for us a handful of times but whenever he has, he has done his job very well.
Lovren is another situation we have similar to Moreno but much, much worse. Lovren does have the occasional solid game, like we saw today, but thats not enough. We will soon see another performance from him that we saw at Tottenham away. Once a season he might get away with it but it's 6 or 7. We can't rely on him and he should never be first or second choice CB. If you think otherwise then you're just plain wrong.
I won't kick off the Henderson argument after he played in a great win today, but the fact he is marmite amongst us speaks volumes. I'd actually say there are more who don't rate him than people who do.
People don't moan for the sake of it. We just don't have short memories. And a couple of wins recently against sh*te teams who we should be pasting anyway doesn't change much.
Some of these players will always fall short and cost us when it really matters. If they were good enough then we would have won the league but the fact is, we are a million miles away.
However. Enough of that. A good win today. A very good win actually. I wasn't confident after seeing the starting 11 so to put five past a Brighton side away from home who in my opinion have a very solid back four is very impressive.
Well done to the mighty reds.
It was important we won today after Chelsea got 3 points in the early game. Chelsea have a nice 5 or 6 run of games now so we need to keep pace.
