I only saw the second half so cannot really judge todays game fully. I assume the first half was a better show than the second which really looked like a training kick about. The defence looked totally comfortable and another decent showing from Stones that is encouraging. Lots of possession some slick passing but never really looked like scoring with the usual chances spurned, Kev, Dias being guilty.
I assume Sterling was ok in the first half given he scored and got a penalty, hardly even saw him in the second half, Jesus hard working but ineffective today. We desperately need that new striker.
Nobody particularly awful in the second half most quite good enough. Underwhelming but the points are the important thing and in all honesty at this stage of a very busy run of fixtures were the intention in the second half to get through it with the minimum energy use or risk of injury you can hardly blame either players or management against such a poor side who were never going to threaten to get those goals back.
