didnt put a foot wrong on Sat, made a huge difference. makes me wonder what the fck Ritchie was doing for 3 games.
Still too slow and he went through a 10 minute period in 1st half of backing off too much, he nearly ended up in the Ponte
I thought he was fantastic for 80 minutes, played excellent and proved me wrong as one of his principal doubters. I did however think that in the last 10mins he gave Johnson far, far too much space to run into and handed the imputus to him rather than staying tight on him. Last thing I want to see towards the end of the game is a fast player given space to run into. Having said that he was probably completely knackered having not played for a while so I can forgive him that.
He was on the bench on Tuesday neet and in full training with the squad for a week before that. even at 80% fitness, he's head and shoulders above Williams.
