55% possession...old BR aint going to be happy with that
I don't think he will be dissapointed with the goal, it was a cracker. The number of hoofs from defenders and the goalkeeper on the other hand...
I think Brendan is still deciding whether he wants to send Sterling out on loan this season, which is why we saw him tonight, I wouldn't count on seeing him every game.

It's a fair enough view on this individual game. We were dreadful to be fair and we defended too deep for my liking , especially when we had possession of the ball. We looked better when they started chasing the game after Downing's great hit.
There was a distinct lack of creativity in midfield. Spearing was error prone and Henderson and Gerrard lacked energy and movement.
However, we are still in pre season, so the payers match fitness is sorely lacking, whilst are opponents were match sharp.
Happy with the result and it's Brendan's first win , but the performance was cack under mitigating circumstances. To say there is room for improvement is a massive understatement.
