Victory by a comfortable margin, a winning start to the new season. Enjoy, celebrate. Move on.
Don’t, for a moment, dwell on the turgid first half.
Except City and Liverpool had already announced the relentless nature of the race to the top this season and we’d been here before: the pre-season victories with kids against the top sides in the world; the phoney trophies … and then the season realities and two months of draws and the occasional defeat.
So well done, Poch. Was it a tactical call at half time or just the rocket inserted? No matter. Right now, I’m joining everyone else and we’re celebrating. Not just the victory and the points and the season start but the fact that we looked like a team for twenty minutes there and the season ahead has the promise we hoped for.
Rose – 7
Why have we been taking liberties with the full back positions. Talk of W-P going on loan and Rose going to … Watford?!! I thought he wanted to go home …somewhere further north than Watford? We were the full back envy of the world three years ago. At times today the two looked the best outlets in the side. Rose was combative and thrusting as usual. I’ve read somewhere there are those that question his final ball. OK, hopefully, please God, time will tell … and there’ll be no phone calls from the continent.
