Only caught the second half of this, work called at the last minute. I can only assume the match thread was much like the Utrecht one, as the game was similar.
Thought the best players on the pitch were Soto and Johnson. Wilson played well and so did Carra. You know it was a dull game when our best players were the back 4.
Lucas did his job as per ususal. Maxi, oh dear god. Was he even playing? nothing of note to mention, saw him roaming everywhere to know avail. Kuyt? always known to track back and help the team but was oblivious in his job of helping Johnson in the first half. Maxi was the same actually. They're full backs really threatened.
David N'gog. Granted, had a tough job to do, but he should have done better against a 37 year old. His booking was harsh but he couldn't even trap a ball last night and his play when he was his back to goal really is awful. I was a fan of his but after tonight I really can't back him. His potential was there but another average performance and it could well be his last. Hopefully Carroll will come back strong.
Overall, a drab affair but at least we did not concede and another clean sheet so there is some positives. Now, Let's take them at home.
