Raheem played himself into the game and had a good second half, but by god he was gash for the first fifteen or twenty minutes or so. By my count he either gave away every ball he received or was bundled over by the Sunderland defenders. Anyway, let's let that go, everyone else was good, including especially Clichy (!) and Kolarov in defence. Kev still looks slightly off his game to me, but maybe because he's playing deeper and taking on more duties in a defensive capacity. He didn't play for long enough to be judged, really.
That save from Pickford against Sergio towards the end was nothing short of brilliant. It was curving away from him right into the corner. That lad needs a close eye on him.
I had a good laugh at the end. Anybody notice that Pep went onto the pitch and started a rant with Merlin analysing every aspect of his performance for the previous ninety minutes, and Dave just decided he'd had enough, and made a gesture that said, "ok boss, tell me all about on on Monday morning at the training ground, I just want to get into that fucking bath right now!"
