So so so happy tonight, tense game but I had a feeling it would be our day, too scared to say it out loud to my son. I could watch the players reactions all night, I’m sure Ben Godfrey had a look of tears in his eyes at the end,
The subs by Carlo was superb, Gomes looked disappointed of coming off probably because he knew he’d let the side down with the booking and could perform better but he was hampered by being on the yellow card, Gylfi ran his socks off which you should expect, and came up with a fantastic penalty which secured the game for us. When Dom came on we looked even more threatening as it gave us a real outlet for clearing the ball out from our own half and caused lots of problems for their defence, in turn taking the pressure off ours.
from front to back everyone played really well, yeah there were a few issues and few mistakes but you’re going to get that in every game let’s live with it, especially impressed with Pickford having had a wobbly few weeks, he came back and was probably at his best that we seen in for a long time with excellent shot stopping, and commanded his area better than we’ve seen recently, without the flapping and the overexcitement which I think can, and does, upset the back four In front of him, just so solid brilliant throughout.
I think I might just have a few drinks tonight after that cheers lads enjoy it.
