Big 3 points, really needed that
Now to get a new CB
That aged …..
I’ve always said I want to see Benrahma and Lanzini play together more and I think they do both benefit from it.
Seriously though, that assist for Vlasic's goal was pure gold. He looked up and picked out Vlasic who anticipating the pass made space for himself. A typical Citeh goal actually.
And we go Dawson from Watford
Maybe it was seeing Antonio back to something like form,Nobes rolling back the years, Vlasic looking so chuffed at getting his first goal, Fab pulling off some fabulous saves,playing well and winning without Declan OR it might be the very morish JD Honey I got for Christmas.Either way it feels good.⚒
Soucek is a much better player when he's allowed to roam.
If Moyes wants Rice to be more progressive, I think he needs to play Kral ahead of Soucek. Kral is better defensively than his compatriot, IMO, and would be the better partner for a more attacking Rice.
Really pleased with Noble's efforts. Thought he had a good game, really involved, made a couple of good challenges/interceptions and kept us ticking over.
Also chuffed that Vlasic got on the score sheet. He has started to make a positive impact the last few appearances in my opinion, and hopefully this can spur him on.
Offensively we were back to our better form which is really pleasing to see.
Still look vulnerable defensively however.
Some superb saves by Fabs today, particularly in the last 10 mins.
COYI!!
These goals have dried up with Rice playing in that position.
Goals win games.
It doesn't take a genius to work out that Rice has to accept the defensive position. That's down to team orders, over to you DM.
In an ideal world they would learn to mix it up 50/50 of who goes, who stays, but we seem to have them in designated seperate roles.
Last season it was Rice hold, Soucek advance. After 19 games we had 32 points.
This season it is Soucek hold, Rice advance. Currently after 19 games we have 31 points.
(Admittedly not matching teams played).
Soucek is definitely more of a goalscorer. However Rice's runs have pushed us up the field regularly and created space and opportunity for others.
If we could get them to develop an understanding for allowing each other the opportunity to advance at the right times it would be perfect.
(EDIT points total wrong way round - now correct)
