This is something that went over the heads of many, but it turned the game in the end.Silva coming on changed the tide we got control of the game and started to dominate the play.

Just watched the game again from the link on page 31, and the Scottish commentator said, after about the 5th foul not given to us in the first half, words to the effect that our players were getting fed up with all the marginal decisions going against them, and that they seemed to have a point.It doesnt help, like yesterday when you get a ref like that either.
They had one game plan and it was kick and hack and he let them get away with it. You could see the frustration on our players as decision after decision went against us whilst the most minimal of contact on them resulted in a free kick time and time again.
It gives the players and the home fans hope.
I think that's a little harsh. Coming back from all four corners of the world and playing an away match within days of returning must surely take its toll. Yes it wasn't the football we know we are capable of, but under the circumstances, criticising the performance IMO is harsh
Fantastic 3 points in the circumstances of half the team playing shite with 1 eye on the Champions League.
Aguero is a great big fucking elephant in the room at the moment.
We need him back, soon as possible.
silva should have been put on earlier. we were lacking a calmness with the ball that he offers.One of the best away days I've ever had at football. Scenes when yaya scored the first and that was eclipsed when the winner went in.
Big shout out to the Scottish fellas stood right behind me keeping me entertained right through the game with amusing comments and banter.
Now for the game. Great to have sagna back added some strength to the back line and when palsce went two up top at half time and bombarded us with long balls he dealt with them.

Sterling had the left back on toast and is going to be world class imho.
