Really enjoyable game but although 5.1 against Schalke is obviously a good result somehow I didn't feel the lads were at their best today. Schalke didn't seem to realise what was going on for a while and when they did wake up it was 3.0. We were playing well and cutting them open at will. A sweet goal to start with with a good header from Ambrose from Ntchams very good cross.I am sure Ambrose is better as a striker but he is a great weapon from the right. Quite rightly I thought he was given MotM.
Pozo gave Ntcham a tap in for the 2nd but how Pozo was on side when he ran onto the ball amazed me. I guess someone on the other side was asleep playing him on.. Barker then did what Barker does with a low left footer from a tight angle.I really liked the 4th as Barker was giving the full back a tough time but this time cut back and played a nice low pass to Byrne on the edge of the box. He took a great first touch and hit a top low shot into the net.
Interesting a couple of times to see and hear Vieira having a go at the lads to move the ball quicker as they did get a little complacent at times. To be fair to Schalke after they woke up they were half decent and pressed the ball much better but never in the hunt to get back into the game.
