I didn't criticise the team I said that Benitez had out managed Neil in the second half

With his subs. I still think that was the case despite the fact we got an injury time winner.

For about ten or fifteen minutes before they scored it was clear the momentum had shifted and we needed to respond somehow with changes of our own. As it happens, the team got us out of it through their sheer determination, will to win and some individual skill but tactically I would still say that second half was not great. We could quite easily have lost. We didn't, that's fantastic and because of it it's all largely irrelevant today. About time we got a break. I now think that the momentum we have will carry us through but we will need to be more tactically smart next season. Hopefully we will be because Neil generally seems to get there in the end (e.g Martin, Olsson, Brady).
