and be critical, after our best performance of the season. One in which the whole team interacted well together and looked threatening?
The pressing off the ball by RvW and Elmander was a large part of the reason why Sunderland were unable to play through midfield and were forced to long balls, which we defended easily.
Likewise, their link up play and work in holding the ball up enabled Snodgrass, Hoolahan and Howson to get on the ball and create more.
Finally, the fact that he got into the dangerous positions to score is the mark of an intelligent player.
The only thing missing from his game was the finishing - why just focus on the one negative aspect?
