THE FANS’ VERDICTS

HARRY GREENWOOD (betterthanklopp.com)

What a poor performance. Our midfield couldn’t cope with the press, and we weren’t allowed to play our natural game. That said, the opener came from poor defending at a set-piece, while the second was a penalty. Out-thought and outplayed. STAR MAN: STEVE MOUNIE

A much-needed three points when players are beginning to return from injury is no coincidence. This was not just a win but a very good away performance and some revenge for that opening-day defeat. A real confidence-booster going into the final games. STAR MAN: JAMES TOMKINS
