He had a fantastic game yesterday. I thought he was really poor last season but he has come on leaps and bounds and deserves plaudits for some of his recent performances.
Also, something I used to hate but now I absolutely love is that he is a tenacious little bastard, same with Mason. It took me a while to understand that we have needed that grit and passion. For me it was those traits that were the difference yesterday!
I agree completely with this, and it seems that this is something that is starting to run through the team. From front to back, we as a team are like a pack of wolves hounding their prey and biting into every challenge, and it is not like we are doing it aimlessly either, it is a controlled aggression and this is one thing that clearly unsettles the opposition.
It is worth noting that whilst the rest of the team are like this, the central defence pairing are less so, and seem to look to stay in position and stand off a bit more, thus giving Lloris more protection. All of the players yesterday were very good, but the pressure high up the pitch was telling for me.
Although Rose was caught out for the 1st goal, he was up for it there after, head never dropped and hustled down that left wing all game.
