I can't see what all the fuss is about with Barazite. He looked distinctly average to me. Rui Fonte was disgraceful. He seemed to have no interest at all. I've heard quite a lot about him and he is supposed to be really good. Well, if last night was anything to go by then I'm afraid he's nowhere near good enough for the Spuds, let alone us.
Overall it wasn't a bad team performance at all and I thought Gibbs looked very good as did Ramsey and JW whilst they were on. Landsbury contributed well and Randall looked more at ease in the middle. Lots of positives to take from the game including the mental strength to come back from behind. I thought Huddersfield were quite good too. They certainly gave a good account of themselves and were unfortunate to be on the losing end.

Little sad that the third string we put out in second half did better then the second string that started the game. Felt the Ramsey/Randall partnership didn't work and would have been better to have put Lansburry inside to act as a holding midfielder, our defence was getting overrun. Theo and Vela will be disappointed with themselves

I honestly wouldn't mind Fab given a game in the Amsterdam tournament and against Fc Twente, he is willing to come and claim crosses and looks a decent shotstopper.
