I guess the clean sheet and solid win were good, but it wasn't quite the defiant reaction to the ban I thought we'd get, and I have to say I think we are half the side when we play that stupid 442 to accommodate David Silva, even though he played well.
We were pretty slow and ploddy, but again it's fair to say a lot of teams looked undercooked after their breaks last weekend.
Mendy looked good, and in the second half I could see him making "hurry up" gestures to the rest of the backline and he tried to make a few things happen.
