Titus Bramble
Best centre half to grace the Premier League
There were a few promising signs against Villa and they came on a step further today. For the first 70/75 mins a pretty solid back line, we soaked up plenty of pressure and took the sting out of it when we needed to either by getting our foot on the ball or by knocking it into the channels and winning a set piece. A bit last ditch in parts, culminating in their first goal (lovely finish) and their second came from a corker of a cross and Michael Keane ball watching.
We scored 2 great goals and forced the third. We could and probably should have scored 2 more in the first half, their keeper kept the score to just 3 and we wasted some really good opportunities in the second half as well.
We faded in the last 20, and we made it more difficult than it should have been, but we deserved the win overall. Lindstrom will get fitter, and hopefully we’ll see Garner starting ahead of Doucoure. We still have a lack in quality in depth and need a signing or two, but more positive signs.
