I had something really meaningful and poignant to say, but I’ve forgotten what it was, so you’ll have settle for the usual babbling.
I never said I knew anything about football, so there was no need to believe me when I said that Reading posed no threat – in truth, the only threat came from ourselves. The defence having settled for a bit, is perversely becoming unsettled by the return to fitness of all personnel. As for Lindegaard, he’s an excellent keeper, but his form is unfortunately effecting that unsettled defence too.
Going forward we are looking so brilliant in flashes. Some of our pay is mouthwatering and I’m choosing to concentrate on that rather than the other (above).
Anderson continued to look good his goal was a beauty. Rooney and ORVP (who probably might have had a hat-trick) also looked unplayable at times. Again, brilliant to see Fletch getting more game time; along with Smalling and Jones.
Bring on City … we’re gonna stuff ‘em.
MOTM: Rooney (HE SCORED A PENALTY!)
They say the best form of defence is attack, they don’t say the best form of attack is defence.
